Whether you’re going on stage, TV or signing autographs after a speech, you MUST be camera-ready. The speaking business (at the highest level) is conducted in front of thousands, if not tens of thousands or millions of people through various mediums. The public, your fans and your audience expect and deserve to see you at your best. Watch this short post I taped in Chicago after being interviewed on WICU-TV (NBC) and I’ll look forward to your comments. For any of you interested in seeing my television appearances, visit www.steveontv.com where you can see me on over 100 different TV shows from around the world.

Thanks Steve—for the inside scoop on the little stuff. My take when I saw this video was I thought your shirt was great! One of the first things I KNEW when I took your Gove Speech Workshop was that I MUST lose weight! You and Dawn were very kind when I said I looked like a fat slob and she said no–you look fine! Well I know better than that and I guess we have to lie sometimes! Anyway that was obvious to me immediately—and to boot I am teaching people Mental Toughness! Yeah sure —not mentally tough enough to put the Tortilla down!
I still only have so much to work with but being fat is something I CAN do something about to look more presentable.
Thanks! I didn’t know that the smaller stations don’t have hair and make up artists available. Good to know. I’ll be doing my own hair and make up for the camera some day! I can’t wait!
Steve,
I am a natural, who can read a crowd, or sense how I am being received from a room full of people to a radio audience, I can just feel it. Steve I need to go to work, I need to know how to plant that proverbial foot in the door, and get my first shot at it.
I have radio, theater, and a stint in the entertainment industry in my background,, doing sound and lighting. I have done professional speaking, and dj work out of a studio in LA, where I would be the guy who did the pre-recorded show for talent that didn’t show up, got sick, went on vacation etc.
I am very excited, just attended a class in SF by Elaine Clark.
I also coming out of what has been a four year odyssey recovering from a near death vehicle accident for which I have had about 12 surgeries to put me back together. It was my speaking skills, timing, and knowing my audience that was responsible for Stanford Hospital forgiving over $900,000.00 in medical bills.
I need some mich time,, suggestions ? I also am very confident I can make money for businesses by harnessing their target audience’s interest, I can energize, or convey both what a company/organization wants to present, and give the answers to what ever the audience may be.
So what say you ? I am also working to get software loaded, and a mini recording booth set up so I can make my home a place to work from.
My name is Greg Creelman, my cell is 650.714.2477, my e-mail is gregcreelman@hotmaill.com
I look forward to hearing, and working with you.

Well I tried hairspray Steve, but when I sprayed it on my bald head I found flies stuck to it. From a distance it looked like I had a very short-cropped afro, and the buzzing made the TV sound guy really irritated. I did manage to hover a few inches off the ground when I had about 80 flies stuck though. The TV interviewer thought
… as I was saying… the TV interviewer thought I was levitating, so they now want to interview me with Deepak Chopra.
Maybe I should have stuck rabbits on my scalp… from a distance they look like hares (boom tish!)
Bring on Good Morning America!
Thanks for the laugh!!!
Really good to know. What about if you don’t wear makeup? Is that a problem for shows? I’m not against it, but I have always preferred my natural beauty.
One of the reasons I’ve been losing weight – to be camera-ready! Thanks, Steve!
PS – I guess Vitalis is out, huh? 🙂
