WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: What is TMH?
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: High school broadcasts are important because they provide students with invaluable hands-on experience in communication and technology, foster strong community ties by connecting families and alumni, and serve as a vital tool for school marketing and fundraising efforts. By engaging students and the wider community, broadcasts offer practical learning opportunities in media, journalism, and technical production while enhancing school pride and support.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Over the next few weeks you will learn all about TMH and be quizzed on who, what, where, when and why!

Get Comfortable Before Speaking On Camera
Also remember! Don't wear GREEN!!! :(
Performance anxiety is worse if you’re physically uncomfortable, and that includes the clothing you choose.
If you want to be comfortable in front of the camera, choose clothing that not only makes you feel good about yourself, but also feels comfortable to wear.
Other things you can do to help make you feel comfortable speaking on camera include: staying hydrated, re-reading the script and limiting the number of distractions around you.
Breathe & Relax to Reduce Performance Anxiety
This is easier said than done for a lot of people, but it’ll get easier with practice.
Right before speaking on camera, do something that helps you to relax and feel comfortable. Most importantly, don’t hold your breath!
Learning proper breathing will also make it easier to pace your speaking. A casual and conversational tone is appropriate for your videos; unfortunately, that’s not the way people speak in their everyday conversations, which tend to be much faster.
When you’re speaking on camera, deliberately slow your speech down to enunciate and make your words clear to your listeners. Slowing your speech down will also lessen the chances of stumbling over your words and stuttering.
Mind Your Body Language
Studies suggest only 7% of our judgement is based on verbal communication, which means body language and non-verbal communication plays a huge role in speaking on camera. When you’re suffering from performance anxiety, though, focusing on good body language can be difficult.
DO!
Remember! Teacher do give us feedback on the broadcast!
Sit upright with good posture to show confidence
Make eye contact with the camera but remember, it’s not a staring contest; you can look away momentarily and blink!
Keep your arm movements to a minimum. Try not to spend too much time with your arms further apart than your shoulders.
DON'T!
Cross your arms over your chest – this comes across as defensive and unwelcoming.
Move your head out of the frame by reaching or bending.
Swivel in the chair.
Yawn, bite your nails or rub your face; This gives the viewer the impression that you’re bored or nervous.
Fidget or create distracting noises with things off-camera (like clicking a pen).
It’s also important to remember to smile at the camera. Offer a natural and relaxed smile, as if you’re talking to a friend.
