TV interviews are not for the faint hearted! After making my tv debut on Expresso on SABC3 at 7am one beautiful Friday morning at their Sea Point studio I thought I had to share my experience.
1. Get your coffee BEFORE arriving at the studios and make sure it is strong to get you into performance mode. Be careful not to spill the coffee!
2. Arrive early – this gives the make-up artist more time to bring out your NATURAL beauty. At least I looked half awake at the sinfully early hours of the morning.
3. Arrive early – this gives you time to have a look around and meet with the production crea and other personalities involved. Somehow knowing that the staff was also still have asleep and only focussed on their production had a slightly settling effect.
4. If you want to be noticed wear big bold accessories. Normal jewellery or handbags blurs into oblivion.
5. The opposite is true of the human image. Wear black to look 5kgs lighter as the camera puts on 50kgs – only to you NOT the presenter. Michael Mol looked his charming self and I looked HUGE! The black will also not show any coffee stains like a lighter colour would.
6. Smile Smile and Smile – no grins just a friendly face!
