Host your own TV or radio talk show
The
smarter way to create your own demo tape
One hour
private tutorial
Whether you want to host your own show or co-host as a
team, the first thing you will need is a
demo tape to show radio station
program directors and general managers what your show will
be like and how professionally you can perform.
I used my demo tape to get freelance (paid) hosting
and co-hosting talk radio assignments in both Canada and the
United States and also paid TV commentator positions on
national TV in Canada. I've hosted live call-in radio shows
on the "Three Rs" ... relationships, recipes, and real
estate. I even hosted my own syndicated TV show on home
sewing.
A live performance is better because it shows you have
actual on-air experience and can interact with listeners.
You need to show you have the charisma, confidence and
credibility to be a popular talk show host and an asset to
any station. The better the host you appear to be, the
higher the fee you may be able to negotiate. A demo that is
artificially created will be apparent to any radio station
executive who listens to it.

Note: I know this tutorial will give you the techniques you need to perform well in a talk radio audition. However, there is no way to guarantee that your audition performance will generate paid radio hosting assignments, nor is there any way to guarantee that the radio station(s) of your choice will grant you an audition. But I do give you the tips I used to become a co-host at the largest talk radio station in Canada, and host several shows of my own at a US talk station.
