Talk like a newscaster and give the impression that you're in the know. • Step 1: Neutralize your voice • Lose your regional dialect -- actual newscasters frequently move between cities and need to have a neutral accent. Speak a little slower and enunciate carefully, until no one can tell where you're from. • Step 2: Communicate the action • Tell a story when you talk. Think about each sentence's point, and stress the words that best communicate the action to help your viewers understand the information easily. • Step 3: Speak with authority • Speak with conviction, whether or not you know what you're talking about. Maintain good posture and make eye contact with anyone you address, to project confidence and knowledge. • Tip • If you're completely uninformed, make up a weather report for the upcoming week. • Step 4: Stay calm • Don't exaggerate when you speak; people wouldn't take a real newscaster seriously if everything they said sounded like a major development. Keep your inflection even and calm while still sounding engaged. • Step 5: Have a conversation • Loosen up -- speak in a conversational style and add a few laughs while you speak to connect with your audience. Then, when you've covered the day's major topics, utter a signature sign-off line and shuffle a few pieces of paper as the credits roll. • Did You Know? • In 2010, 762 American television stations produced original local news broadcasts.
