LINKS TO RECOMMENDED PROFESSIONALS
Voice Coaching Many young reporters need help sounding mature and authoritative on the air. I recommend Dr. Ann Utterback, who is probably the foremost authority on voice issues in the TV news industry. Visit Ann’s web page at

. Image Consulting
There is no question that your appearance is critical in the search for on-air TV jobs. If you would like advice from a great professional, I encourage to you to talk to Sandy Dumont, THE Image Architect. Sandy’s web page is
http://www.theimagearchitect.com/
. Training and Resume Tapes I am pleased to recommend The Television News Center both for training and for getting resume tapes produced. The Television News Center offers training programs for reporters, anchors, and producers. It also has a couple of options for helping you produce that all-important resume tape, a critical element in your search for TV jobs. For a list of training sessions and other programs, visit the Television News Center’s web page at
www.televisionnewscenter.org/.
Some of the best training in our industry comes from the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida. It offers everything from weeklong seminars on its campus to one-day trainings at conferences, TV stations, and other media outlets. It can be competitive to get in to Poynter seminars, but it is a great experience. For more information, the link is

. Job Listings For a great database of TV jobs, check out
www.tvjobs.com
. It is a very good subscription service with hundreds of listings of jobs across the TV industry. Talent Banks If you are in the search for TV jobs, you want to make sure that your tape is in the hands of both Talent Dynamics and Frank N. Magid Associates. Either of these consulting firms could circulate your work to dozens of stations across the country.
