Psyched and stoked!

FIFA World Cup 2010 is ON  and the opening match is South Africa vs Mexico, starting in a matter of minutes.

I went for my first shoot today as TV Predictor, in co-relation with the FIFA World Cup 2010 on Astro Supersport.

I’m going to be real here and I can tell you that being a presenter is not easy. Being in front of the camera is not a problem, but it’s still something to get used to. With acting you don’t look at the camera but “behind the camera”. For hosting/tv presenting you gotta look straight at the camera. Hehe doesn’t sound like much but it is a shift and one has to concentrate differently.

The first few rounds were tough, as I was trying to remember what I had prepared while at the same time making sure I got the terminology right. Going at it for the first round was nerve wrecking, after a while i got the hang of it. What I love the most is how everyone around were supportive and encouraging. *tear* Wanna give a big thanks to Jason Dasey for giving me the opportunity and Ramani, for recommending me. Dave thanks so much for the constructive feedback. Round one, was shaky, but round two in front I should have more up my sleeve. Thanks to Steven and Emilia for running around to help get things going! Great first ep guys!

Hey all in all, I have to say I had fun shooting my segments. And all the more so for the opening game! Woooooooot. The segments i had were doing the FourFourTwo Predictions for South Africa vs Mexico, Uruguay vs France and one more called England by Numbers.

Be sure to check out the dedicated channels for the World Cup on Astro, where i’ll be presenting for the first time round 9pm onwards. ^_^
