Students were able to ask questions, and gain valuable and insightful knowledge from industry expert, Kemi, who is a children鈥檚 presenter for Milkshake on Channel 5 and the voice of one of the characters for Ben and Holly鈥檚 Little Kingdom.

Speaking to the students, Kemi said: 鈥淏efore you get into television or even think about doing it practice, practice, practice. Practice in front of your friends and family. When you鈥檙e looking to send your show reel in send it into the big guns and the producers of any shows that you鈥檙e interested in.

鈥淏efore becoming a television presenter I studied for a degree in Business and Finance 鈥� so a completely different discipline.

鈥淚 had to learn about TV so I then studied a postgraduate degree in Broadcast Journalism. 听It taught me about the things that go on behind the camera because if you鈥檙e not used to having an ear piece in or something like that then it can throw you off course.

鈥淐ourses like Media Performance help students get to grips with the practical bits of presenting and work experience is also really important.鈥�

Rachel Clark, Senior Lecturer and Course Coordinator for Media Performance for Film, TV & Theatre at the 天美传媒, said: 鈥淥ur course prides itself on bringing in guest speakers from the media industries to deliver masterclasses and workshops to the students.

鈥淜emi鈥檚 recent visit provided an excellent networking opportunity for our students and gave them an insight into the best routes into TV. Our students loved the masterclass and were really excited to work with someone who is currently on a children鈥檚 television channel.

鈥淭heir dreams became real as they begin their own journey towards working for screen.鈥�
