I’ve learned a lot about building both a demo and contacts in the cohort.  I’ve always believed that one of my biggest weaknesses in the industry was networking, and the segment focusing on that aspect will go a long way in continuing my career.

I liked how I was able to have a 1 on 1 moment with rich and review my reel! That really helped open my eyes and he was very helpful.

In no class have I had the opportunity to learn how to properly network with others, create the perfect demo reel, and best of all “find my voice.” This cohort will stay with me for a lifetime. I am so grateful for the entire experience from start to finish.

The cohort will definitely help me with networking as I continue my career in this industry. You’ve been able to help build my confidence in reaching out to people.

Getting that opportunity to have our group find our strengths and weaknesses helped grow my appreciation for the effort that everyone in our session puts into their craft. I came out of it feeling energized and motivated, not just when receiving feedback on my own reel but even on days that I was listening to our group and providing feedback for them.

My favorite part of the cohort was being able to see and hear others in the same field. Also, the demo reel deconstruction section opened my eyes on what I can do better during my broadcast which was super helpful.

Everything we learned on a weekly basis was super beneficial and important for me to further enhance my broadcasting career but the thing I will take most from it is the feedback I got from my peers about my broadcast clips. I have never gotten real, critical feedback on any of my broadcasts before and it will pay off big time for me in the long run.

I wanted to again say thank you for everything in the course. I’m so happy to have been a part of such an amazing group, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Thanks again for an incredible experience, I had lots of fun and gained a number of valuable skills.

Your energy was palpable every week, and I sincerely looked forward to these Sunday nights. I plan on staying in touch and am already really proud of my progress with new techniques and habits.

I have learned so many useful tips for navigating the industry. I also know the certain aspects of my reporting that can be worked on, so I will strive to apply what I learned whenever I am on air. I think hearing lots of perspectives on my work really opened my eyes to things I need to change, but also things I do well.

There were so many amazing things about this cohort, but if I had to pick one, I’d say how I feel so much more confident in what I’m doing (fixing my reel and seeing the good as well as the things that needed tweaking about it) and how to use that reel to demonstrate my abilities.

This cohort has helped me get out of my comfort zone with not just networking but asking for feedback on my reel.

What I liked best was the individual office hours that gave us a chance to sit down with you and get specific feedback. I can immediately take what I’ve learned and build a reel that’s ready to submit wherever. I also really appreciated the advice about networking.

What I liked best about the cohort was the connections I’ve made. This was an amazing group of talented individuals. My skills will improve as I move forward in my career, but the feedback I received has already given me a big improvement.

Rich, the tools you taught us are so valuable, and using them in my day-to-day life has already made a difference in my actions.

I really enjoyed the one-on-one session (with Rich) because I was able to get some great feedback on several different things that I needed to work on. Being able to get tailored feedback to my situation was incredibly helpful.

I liked having the extended time with just Rich to hear more thorough feedback from an industry vet on my demo tape. The peer review process was also beneficial to me because I get 10 other sets of eyes on your material and more opinions on how I can be even better.

Being able to take some of the networking skills and putting them into good use. I’ve already ben more confident reaching out to people for networking purposes and for job opportunities.

Seeing what the insiders of the industry want out of a demo reel is huge for me. I’ve been doing my reels differently this whole time!

Now I know what a demo reel is and how exactly to build it.  Rich gave me wonderful critiques and it will better my broadcasts for years to come.  It really changed and impacted the way I call games! 

I am very happy I didn’t let finances get in the way of deciding to sign up, as the lessons I learned far outweigh any financial burden.  The big thing that stood out to me was how much Rich cares about helping me improve my craft and launch a successful career.

This course not only helped me with honing my craft, but I can build my resume with this course attached to it. Hearing the experiences Rich had in this industry has helped me understand what I need to do in my career going forward to make the process smooth. The takeaways from this course are massive, but they’re also transferring into my actual craft which is incredibly cool.

Rich does a great job filling tons of information in only an hour each week. I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience but was in need of learning more about the technical side of the sportscasting industry. I got exactly what I needed out of this program.

I can already tell that I have gained confidence to reach out to broadcasters, as well as have improved my cadence and voice control. The lessons I learned in the cohort were invaluable! Thank You!

I saw the reviews of former cohort members and where they are at now and I knew that if I joined and committed myself that it would pay off.

There were a lot of important tools he discussed that were beneficial to help pave the way forward for me. Rich did an excellent job in helping me grow as a broadcaster. I would recommend this cohort to people who are serious about broadcasting.

I’m so thankful for this experience because it really gave me an outlook on how I can excel as a broadcaster. The return on investment in myself was well worth it.

This was a golden opportunity to learn from a working professional who has been where I am now and done so much in his career. Each week I learned something that I will take with me.

A lot of what we learned can be applied in all aspects of the industry and at all levels. The biggest thing this cohort gave me was confidence in myself and in my craft.

Rich is an excellent, all-around talent. Smart, dependable, a great interviewer, and fantastic on camera. Whether you want to master reporting, interviewing or calling a game you will learn from Rich!

I made the decision to go for it and I’m very glad I did. I got terrific advice from Rich on how to construct my demo reel in a way that will be most attractive to potential employers, as well as some inspiring words on letting go of fear of rejection.

Just say yes! I found what I was looking for. I’ve not only added new tools to my toolbelt, but I’ve also gained new members of my network. It’s a win-win for any broadcaster looking to grow on or off the mic.

I know the beauty of these tips is they will always be true no matter what stage I am at in my career.

I thought I knew so much about broadcasting prior to starting, however I knew nothing compared to what I now know.

I know the beauty of these tips is they will always be true no matter what stage I am at in my career.

It turned out to be more beneficial than I could’ve imagined.

I go about my preparation for broadcasts differently and comprehend what is important.

As the course started rolling along, I felt more confident in my ability to network and developed the backbone to move forward with relationships I’ve built. That led to immediate results.
