CONTESTANTS IN TV LAND

Ever wonder about the inner workings of your favorite local news and TV shows?  Especially after the long production hours that went into the 'Confessions of a Sailor' film, I'm now always curious about what goes in to creating that picture and sound on your home television, computer and phone screens.  

This morning I got the behind-the-scenes experience of the CW14 and WLUK FOX11 TV studios.  The CW14 Star Top 10 Contenders were invited to the TV studio to do two recordings in preparation for Round 2 of open voting.  The .60 second tapings will air on CW14 weekday mornings and weekends during this second round.

Today's events were a very helpful part of the whole decision-making process.  I felt very comfortable with the people, the setup of the studio, cameras and teleprompter, and also my delivery of a monologue.  Whether or not I translated well onto the TV screen is yet to be determined.  I defer that to your judgement and the station's.  I know for a fact it beats my original audition tape so I'd say its a win!

In the studio I got to see the sets of WLUK FOX11's Good Day Wisconsin, Living with Amy and Sports Edge.  We weren't there long before several special people dropped in for a surprise visit.  Good Day Wisconsin morning anchors Rachel Manek and Pete Petoniak and reporter Emily Deem came into the studio to meet and welcome us and wish us luck!
