Morning Announcements.
Typically, I'm an anchor for the morning announcements at my high school, however I know I've failed to keep the viewer's attention.
Can I have some tips on how to be more personable?
ie: I always lose interest once the other person starts talking when I really should be flashing a smile at the camera during that time.
Also, what are some good ways to hold back laughter to avoid excess recording?
Thank you!

I'm going to tell you right off the bat that the people at my school are TERRIBLE at the morning announcements. I cringe whenever they come on, really. And of course, I'm a theater kid, so I am a bit more judgmental about their tones and their inflection. SO!
TIPS:
1.Say the information you have to present slow enough and clearly. Most of the time the information you give is relatively important, so make it sound that way. People want to know where their world language club meeting is. Dammit!
2. Make your voice interesting. Read over what you have to announce before you do so, and pick out key words that might catch people. Which brings me to number three.
3. Be familiar with what you are announcing. Be able to pronounce things, don't just slur them to get through it.
4. Look interested in what you co-anchor is saying. Perhaps look at her/him. A slight nod. A smile. Anything. You don't have to look at the camera the whole time, of course that's boring.
5.Pretend it is your job to give these announcements, where you get to be an anchorwoman every morning, just with shitty pay. Pretend you're having a great time.
6. To avoid laughter, that's all in your head. Bite your lip to help control it.
Hopefully I helped a wee bit. For the most part, just have fun and get your announcements across while doing it, okay?

try to talk in an upbeat cheerful manner, and smile a lot for the camera. always look confident, never bored or insecure. try having some jokes or amusing comments to say to your audience, or interesting facts that will get their attention. and you have to remember, it's the school announcements. youre only going to be able to get so much attention. hope this helps.
