Managing Talent - Inanc, N.

My initial point of action was to organise auditions within the whole creative faculty so that I could attract potential presenters from all subject backgrounds. It is crucial to understand that some presenters can be a specialist in a certain subject area which is why I wanted to make the auditions open. Presenting can vary in style, and so can the shows that are being broadcasted on CCI TV therefore it was key to have as much variety as possible. It was definitely difficult trying to communicate with a number of big personalities and organising what time works for who so I kept this as simple as I could. Each presenter was given a 15 minute time slot to come into the TV studios and meet me. My goal was to take the auditions at a different angle than the previous years, and essentially make them more cut-throat similar to the real world. I believe it is important that at this academic level, we are portrayed the difficulty of the media industry, simply to push ourselves to become a better version of what we want to do. I knew that I had to communicate this carefully because I didnt want to seem like I was being unfair on any of the presenters that were less natural in front of a camera.
