Mr. Thomas Schneider (name changed) is an experienced editor with over 12 years of professional experience in the editorial department of a large daily newspaper. In addition to writing articles and reports, he is regularly active in editorial conferences and in presenting content to colleagues and external partners. In recent years, his editorial duties have expanded to include media appearances such as podcasts, radio features and video commentaries. Although Thomas is already a confident and experienced speaker, he wanted to develop his media speaking skills in order to be able to use his editorial skills professionally in new media formats.
Thomas Schneider was faced with a number of specific challenges that differed from his previous speaking practice:
The demands on the voice and speaking style in podcasts, radio and video differ significantly from those in everyday editorial work. Here, the voice often needs to be livelier, more dynamic and adapted to different target groups.
The transition from written to spoken communication in the media requires not only linguistic adaptations, but also the confident handling of technical aspects such as microphone control and acoustics.
Unlike in written contributions, media speaking is often live or recorded in one take, which requires a high degree of precision and confidence.
To get started, I recommend the basic coaching package of 12 individual sessions (60 min), which are arranged every two weeks. This gives you the opportunity to practise on your own in the meantime. The experience can then be supplemented with further individual sessions or with the Coaching Advance package.
Coaching can take place on-site at the Vocal Acting Studio in Munich or online.
It is also possible to conduct the coaching in English.
I would be happy to provide you with an individual offer that optimally reflects your personal wishes.
First, a detailed analysis of Thomas' existing speaking skills was carried out to identify his strengths and the areas that needed to be developed for media speaking. Together, clear goals were defined for the coaching, which were tailored to his new roles in podcasts, radio reports and videos.
Io In realistic scenarios that simulated his new media tasks, Thomas was able to apply what he had learned directly. These included recording podcast episodes, voicing radio reports and recording video commentaries.
Each of these practical projects was analyzed in detail to provide targeted feedback and enable continuous improvement.
After several months of intensive coaching, Thomas Schneider showed remarkable progress:
His new skills have enabled him to broaden his professional horizons and act confidently and professionally in podcasts, radio reports and video formats. This case study shows how important it is to learn specific media speaking techniques, even as an experienced speaker, in order to meet the demands of modern media and open up new professional opportunities.
