RE: What goes on before a newscast?
I'm sure that the news cast is the easiest part of your job! There must be so much going on before and after, that the newscast is like the tip of an iceberg!

oh, you have no idea how nerve wracking it was for me! notice how much i practiced, how i kept on exercising my jaw, and how i let out a big fast exhale seconds before i went on air? that was ALL Nerves! hahaha funny, i am a public speaker all my life and i always feel nervous almost every single time i go on air. but it fades away eventually as i get more confident and more focused.
i remember when i was doing evening news for another network, a colleague of mine made my head boil. she was a news writer and never had an experience doing newscast. she kept on saying "your job is so easy, you just read the news.
huh? easy?
well, she got a taste of the "easy" job and auditioned for another news program. she groomed herself, applied make up, fixed her hair and went to the anchor's chair to "read" the news. guess what? she never auditioned again. you know why? she realized newscasting is "not as easy" as she thought it was.
