On-Air: Real You vs. Best You

WSET-TV's "real" anchor, Noreen Turyn, leads and tags a story about this restaurant owner donating tip money to Haiti.

Breaking through begins with bringing your “real” self to work, as opposed to your “best” self.  Too many anchors (maybe most?) choose one style of "serious" for every serious story...trying to portray every story’s heart with a deepened voice and stoic one-size-fits-all non-expression in their faces.  It's no wonder that, to viewers, they all begin to look and sound alike. 

For the "real" anchor or reporter, there's more than one flavor of "serious." Real talent tell stories like they really would, not based on some arbitrary idea of how they “really should.”
