Your session has expired.
YOUR LIVE 1-ON-1 demo / footage review
In this 30-minute session we will be focused on YOUR current Demo Reel -- the exact one that you are using to today to book your next event. And if you do not yet have a complete Demo Reel assembled, that's OK! We can utilize any recent event footage that you have, or may be considering for use in your first Reel.
As we review, we will be both TECHNICAL on your performance to select clips, and well as cover assembly and editing.
Utilizing your Reel / Footage, we will focus on both WHY and HOW most Demo Reels are getting announcers bounced out in the initial stages of consideration for an event. You'll learn how to avoid the fatal mistake that will get your Demo Reel bypassed within the first 15 seconds it's played. We, and the fundamental criteria that must guide any announcer as they create, and continually update, their Demo Reel.
the "top 5 demo mistakes" every announcer makes!
Virtually all demo reels contain these same five mistakes that actually prevent the footage from creating any of the benefits intended to promote the announcer's work! These mistakes not only exist unbeknownst to the announcer, but they are also intentionally added to the footage by the announcer themselves. In this session, we'll identify every instance of these Top 5 Mistakes to ensure that together we eliminate them entirely.

Below are a few of the most frequent objectives that Announcers are scheduling to cover in their sessions...
"Top 5 Demo Mistakes"
We can talk through any industry information that you feel would be beneficial. Great topics include strategies on how to navigate the live event space, and how to properly position yourself to be on that all-important "short list". I recommend taking time to cover the key 'Industry Professionals' that can have a profound effect on your announcing career, and how you can better position yourself as a value or asset in the execution of their vision.
show Your value!
Michael's Coaching basics are great subject matter for your session. Consider a higher-level look at the fundamentals for long-term success, the proper mindset, specific actionable steps, or a look at various strategic courses of action that will get you where you want to be in the profession.
rules To Edit by
While not specifically designed for this purpose, these sessions can be extremely effective for any highly specialized training elements. Bring your own training topics that feel the the critical to you right now. And be sure to take a look at all of Michael's coursed and training here on the site for ideas that will help you get to your own next levels.
getting footage
We can talk through the incredible challenge of getting ANY footage whatsoever of your live announcing for use on your Demo. For those that are early in their career and announcing smaller shows, this can seem essentially impossible. Again, let's discuss the best practices and effective strategies to ensure that you're getting quality clips and footage for use on your next Demo Reel.
Submitting Your Reel
We advised providing your Demo Reel file, or a link to the file (on YouTube, website, etc.) no less than 24 hours prior to your session. Michael will review your Reel in advance of your session start time.
Footage Submission
Footage can consist of up to 5 individual clips. Clips should have a total combined maximum running time of no more than 7-10 minutes to allow for ample discussion and training time during the session. To provide your footage: 1) Provide links to your footage that you currently have posted on online, 2) Provide links to download your footage, 3) Email clips that are 10mb or smaller.
