Your Session With Me

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET IN YOUR SESSION WITH ME

I always use my camera to film you and then we watch it back together on a monitor for instant playback so you can learn quickly, whether it’s for public speaking skills, media training or on-camera skills for shooting video or for hosting your own show.

You’ll also get:

  • Pre-shoot phone consultation & brainstorm session with suggestions & homework.
  • You can create videos for your website, video blogs, YouTube, social media, video tips, info products.
  • Even if you don’t know what to say, I will help you get your message & soundbites clear. That’s my specialty.
  • Those soundbites and phrases become the basis for your future presentations, meetings, videos & interviews. You get clear on your message & how to deliver it in any situation.
  • We’ll develop your own unique & authentic style.
  • If you’re creating video, I’ll give you star quality lighting and makeup.
  • Vocal techniques and tips on using your body effectively.
  • Professional performance techniques that actors use both live and on camera.
  • Tips on makeup, lighting & wardrobe that you can use to make videos on your own. Image is everything!
  • Tricks to sharing your passion & excitement heart to heart with your viewer, so you really land on your audience in a personal way.
  • My #1 secret so you can “play” on camera or in front of an audience — it’s the magic secret sauce that brings you $$$ !!
  • My personal Acting tricks to handle your nerves & turn them into fuel.
  • Media coaching so you can ace TV & radio interviews or host your own show.
  • If you have a book or product, bring it so I can show you how to use it in an interview or in videos
  • Teleprompter is available, and I can teach you how to use it.

If you just want media and/or presentation coaching (not creating videos)

We’ll do a pre-consultation to find out your goals. Maybe you have a fear of public speaking or being on camera and you’re tired of it holding you back. Or maybe you have a public speaking event or a radio interview coming up and you want to make sure you come off like a pro. Don’t worry, I’d love to help you. If there’s a target date for your event, we’ll have you ready. If you’re shooting a pilot for your own show, I can train you way before shoot day on what to say, how to say it and things you should do on the set the day of the shoot.

Again, our session will be recorded on video, and you will be able to get the footage afterward for review.

If you are coming to me to create videos

You’ll receive edited videos afterward that are in wmv files, ready to use however you wish to, with your name and credits at the end so that you can drive business back to you and your website.

I recommend at the very least a 2 hour session
I will be coaching you to get into the “zone” and it can take a while to hit it. Once you do, you can bang videos out much more easily, and it’s more cost effective for you. Click here to read this testimonial about the process.

How many videos will you get out of your session?
We will shoot as many videos as possible in the allotted time. Footage is stored for six months, so you can order more videos at a later date as you build out your platform.

From the heart, that’s Barbara Niven of Show Business 101. She’s the actress, director, the coach, the speaker and by far the only person you should use if you want the best content for promotional videos.  I was terrified of having bad content on the internet, having my face being just another marketing “ploy” to bring in business because that’s not me.  I didn’t do this to build my business but to heal people and get my message out there and I didn’t want to be another clever commercial looking to sell.

I was ready to bolt from the chair for the first 45 minutes.  It was painful, I didn’t think I could do this. I’m not a speaker, I’m not an actress -  this is NOT my talent.  I thought “Oh God, please let me get through this &  maybe get one good clip.” And then Barbara took the camera aside, put the lights aside, made me laugh and said “Look into my face and talk to me as if you were just telling me about you and your message.” She held my hand and I spoke to her.  She put the camera back on, adjusted the lights, the angles, the camera (every which way to make sure I looked like a star on camera — this was amazing how much time she took to make sure the light hit my face just right and if I moved she’d start over it had to be perfect by her standards which are on a scale of 1-10 a 20!) and when it was just right she said “Now laugh, be you and talk.” Then something clicked. I don’t know what it was or how she did it but she brought me out. It made all the lights and the cameras disappear for that brief moment and MAGIC came out and I had this amazing video that just spoke from my heart, exactly what I wanted to reach the people who need me.  Before I knew it I had 6 amazing clips, they were great all perfect.

Barbara Niven is truly the best there is. She is from the heart and she brings out your heart on camera.  If you want truly good content, the best of you on film, if you want to look like a star, then go to a star.  Barbara knows all the tricks of the trade. How could she not? She brings all her expertise as an actress and as a speaker. She knows how to make you look good, how to make you sound good and best of all she knows how to put it all together and get you to just be you.  Build your business – you need video to survive today and get your message out among the masses. This is the only person I would ever go to and the first person I would go to, to learn how to be on tape and how to be you in front of that camera.  Visit Barbara Niven of Show Business 101, and learn to be a star and transform your business with your own personal message from the heart!

I just have to report to you that I have been having some time conflicts interfering with my softball playing.  However, today I played my first game since seeing you Barbara.  I applied some of the techniques you talked about that help people perform to their potential.  We played against a team that constantly beats us by a large margin.  I had my best hitting game in years and played flawlessly in the field and we knocked them out of the playoffs.  Final score- our team-23, their team 9.  David slew Goliath and even though it is a team sport and my teammates played well, I definitely played a large part in the success.  I was totally in the moment, relaxed, aggressive, and had a great time.  The skills you teach Barbara, clearly can extend beyond in front of the camera.  Not only did you help me do well in front of the camera, but you helped me with a glove or bat in my hand.

Wow! Talk about results! I consider myself to be a fairly polished speaker and presenter, so my motive for working with Barb was not to work on speaking ability; rather I needed to polish my on-camera skills. Between her workshop and her one-on-one coaching skills, she coaxed some fabulous footage out of me. I am usually pretty self-critical of my own work, but this was great stuff, if I do say so myself! Her experience with the medium and her expert guidance gave me quite a few tips and techniques that made my on-camera persona shine and come through. I have always been a bit frustrated before, but I now have the skills and confidence to shine. Thanks Barb!
