Video Skills For Business Course Testimonials
During Lockdown the Irish Chamber Orchestra needed to stay in touch with its audience and I took to social media via video. It was a steep learning curve but I found a couple of hours spent with The Media Coach team and in particular Video Skills trainer David Gridley, immensely valuable. Since then I and the team have been able to add a lot more polish to our regular Vodcast.
A comprehensive, well-structured introduction to shooting and editing footage using everyday equipment. Especially useful given the pressures of remote working and the need to turn around video quickly. Thanks,
I got in touch with Media Coach International with a very last minute requirement; needing some help and guidance and confidence! David was so helpful, relieved my nerves and gave some structured clear guidance. Needless to say our event went brilliantly and I am very thankful to David for all his support. I would highly recommend this professional and effective coaching company
