Production - Hosting

A lot of people in our group are going to be doing interviews where they may want to introduce people. This is similar to hosting, so I thought that the tips listed in the article were helpful. I think that the most important one is to make eye contact with the camera. You want to direct what you are saying to the people listening and make them stay focused and involved in the podcast. News reporters often do this as well as talk show hosts, and many other TV personalities. The following video is a good example of what not to do when reporting, yet you can still see that there is a lot of eye contact made with the camera when those who are physically with the reporter are not being addressed.
