Phone In One Hand Ticket In The Other

One of my classes this semester is Television News Reporting. Every Thursday, we rotate between live lab and producing packages. During live lab, we work on our ad libbing skills where we get a topic and have to talk about it on camera for about one minute and thirty seconds. I find this to be the most difficult part of my major. We have all been telling stories our entire lives, but for some reason when you are stuck in front of a camera and told to talk about a subject for a certain amount of time it becomes difficult and unnatural...at least for me it does. However, each time I do it I feel more comfortable (which is how it should be!!)

Below is my first practice package. I started at 8:30 a.m. and had to have it uploaded to youtube by midnight that same day. I actually finished it with plenty of time to spare!
