Sarah Strackhouse on On-Camera Confidence and Getting Media Ready
INSIDE THE CONVERSATION
The story behind the skill.
What media readiness includes
Sarah explains the two sides of Strackhouse Media: event production and media services, including on-camera training and preparation for media outreach.
A camera and a room feel different
Brian and Sarah compare their comfort on stage and on camera. Being confident in one setting does not automatically make the other easy.
Authenticity over perfection
Sarah discusses how fear of mistakes keeps people from trying. Ed adds that practice and repetition helped him become more comfortable broadcasting.
Research before you pitch
Sarah explains why generic pitches miss the mark. Understand a reporter’s beat or a host’s show before deciding how your story fits.
