Max is a powerful man. I'm not talking about his bench
press poundage or arm-wrestling technique. I am talking
about his power to make stars out of ordinary people!

work he has done with hundreds and thousands of TV talent
over the years.

Max is well known within the industry as one of the leading
tutors of TV talent. He has been at the forefront of some
of TV's most famous names including Larry Emdur, Peter

We recently sat with Max and asked him to spill the beans
on his TV presenting philosophies:

**********************************

1. What makes a good presenter?

**********************************

MAX: Well, I think a good voice is very important. You
should always train your voice. And you should also know
how to write, your creative skills need to be nurtured.

***********************************

2. How many days/weeks/years should an aspiring presenter
train for?


***********************************

MAX: You should train forever. There is no amount of
research, training or courses you can do that will be
enough. That said, you should train WHILE you actively
search for work.

Don't train or practice without making some attempt to
get work - to be forever training is fantastic. To be
forever training without looking for work is disastrous!


***********************************

3. What are new presenters MOST unprepared for?

***********************************

MAX: Definitely the live element. There is no real way
to replicate a LIVE broadcast and that takes people by
surprise. Most presenters do not realise how much they need
to practice! The best presenters are usually the ones who
will train more than anyone else!
