TIPS FOR APPEARING ON SEC-TV

 

Arrive at Southeastern Connecticut Television Studios 5 minutes prior to the scheduled taping.

Clothing: Solid, darker colors seem to look best. Avoid wearing a lot of shiny jewelry.

Hair: Make sure your style does not hide your face--especially if the camera shoots you from the side.

Makeup: Wear what you normally would, but remember that the bright lights may make you looked washed out. Lipstick and eyeliner may help!

Material: Bring props if appropriate.

Camera: You don’t need to look at the camera. The camera will find you while you are answering questions. Unless discussing a tragic topic, remember to smile or at least look interested when listening to others. The camera may be on you when you least expect it!
