How to Talk like a Newscaster

Watch more How to Be on TV videos: www.howcast.com/videos/424641-...
In this mixed-up world, people want a voice they can trust. Talk like a newscaster and give the impression that you're in the know.
Step 1: Neutralize your voice
Lose your regional dialect -- actual newscasters frequently move between cities and need to have a neutral accent. Speak a little slower and enunciate carefully, until no one can tell where you're from.
Step 2: Communicate the action
Tell a story when you talk. Think about each sentence's point, and stress the words that best communicate the action to help your viewers understand the information easily.
Step 3: Speak with authority
Speak with conviction, whether or not you know what you're talking about. Maintain good posture and make eye contact with anyone you address, to project confidence and knowledge.
Tip
If you're completely uninformed, make up a weather report for the upcoming week.
Step 4: Stay calm
Don't exaggerate when you speak; people wouldn't take a real newscaster seriously if everything they said sounded like a major development. Keep your inflection even and calm while still sounding engaged.
Step 5: Have a conversation
Loosen up -- speak in a conversational style and add a few laughs while you speak to connect with your audience. Then, when you've covered the day's major topics, utter a signature sign-off line and shuffle a few pieces of paper as the credits roll.
Did You Know?
In 2010, 762 American television stations produced original local news broadcasts.

When you have to do a news report skit for school

[@_JoeMomma]

more like when you lie on your resume and you actually get the job

[@Silvyx_the_one_and_only]

Yea that's me

[@brooklyn4343]

✋

[@EMJK]

Same bruh

[@norieportez5898]

THIS

[@elizabethbert5854]

As a former TV host, just change everything special about yourself dialectically, aggressive eye contact, and stress key words

[@wjpp1214]

I like to change accents from sentence to sentence rather than speak neutrally. That'll really make it so no one knows where I'm from and angers the hell out of them.

[@handrawan6363]

Just like a newscaster

[@s_989]

It's so weird when you watch the news and they all sound the same. It's like they are singing a song

[@PunkyPlow]

How to talk like a newscaster? More like 'How to talk like you just arrived from 1962.'

[@handrawan6363]

How to talk like you know you said it right but you say it slower cause you're not sure

[@Swoony23]

Hello person from 2011, In my opinion I would like for them to talk like this again, all newscasters sound so ignorant now. (From a 14 year old)

[@Animatty]

The explanation was so clear, no wonder the thumbs up was in 4k

[@Zummile]

Is it also an obligation to make my eyebrows dance?

[@theorickmann6715]

Yes

[@icuthere968]

.....yeah

[@park-bw9hn]

@@theorickmann6715 you're cute

[@CoreyB478]

Lol

[@simplythebest286]

very important !!!!

[@916nene]

Love that voice from the 50s-60s

[@Not_Interested_440]

The explanation in that video is great, but there are two questions: first is whether there isa specific education to be Newscaster, and second is whether we can maximize the potential that we have when we're being Newscaster?

[@user-jx1qt7yh9y]

I honestly would be the best newscaster, that I can tell ya

[@periclesdasilva5973]

Happy 2022. You can change the world. Thanks for sharing. The value of perfect communication is inestimable. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights. Receiving and communicating His perfect love confidently and effectively, is the Way to live and change the world His Son died for that we all may be saved. Blessings

[@historyandstuffwithmorgan]

Thanks, needed this for a school project

[@misukuohna6884]

I saw like a cow got hit by a car and it becomes beef🤣🤣🤣

[@VictoriaDayrit]

Awesome tutorial.

[@AdolfoCores]

Please DON´T talk like newcasters, nobody, ever, anywhere.

[@midnightmystery544]

LOL!

[@kianmatthewvivo5297]

Why

[@azforthlol]

"Neutral accent"... so American then...

[@shanerothery]

Techne That's absolutely not what it means.

[@Firefox1189]

The "American" accent is not a neutral accent.

[@shanerothery]

The video doesn't mean that an American accent is a neutral accent. There are neutral accents for every language and region. For example, in Australia, there are three general accents. One sounds very posh, another sounds very bumpkin, and the third is neither -- it is a neutral accent in that context. Same concept goes for the States (a heavy southern accent is not neutral, and neither is a thick Brooklyn one), China, and everywhere else.

[@rachetCD]

He means not southern or anything

[@Mindraker1]

He's talking about the non-regional American accent.

[@davidmatthewbawalan852]

Perfect!!!!!

[@KrystalBradsher]

This is awesome.

[@deelie]

thank god theres a tutorial for this lol, i had to like news report

[@anitaben806]

[@xile4199]

[@handrawan6363]

It helped me a lot too

[@shotguncrucifix]

I wish I had watched this before I went to JSchool.

[@handrawan6363]

Talking like a newscaster would sound weird but if you talk with an accent, you might get fun off

[@danni3094]

What was that with the cow? Was that supposed to be a news story about people eating roadkill??? 😂

[@SwethsSwetha]

Thanks 🌸

[@ASMRLemon]

We watched this in class today. I think my English teacher took this too seriously.

[@williambarretttravis4980]

Good examples of a neutral accent guys...

[@Legion004]

Yeah i have seen the golden voice.

[@handrawan6363]

What is the golden voice?

[@joanachagundajowie4901]

[@kvndreamteam]

[@THEeditorfreakkk]

I would need this for my school project and it’s the day today that I’m meant to pass it, but my teacher gave me time and it’s 12am still doing news report and my mum is mad at me for not doing it right 😒🙁

[@bluet.]

Oh, I hope you're alright now. I will act as a reporter on Tuesday for our English roleplay, that's why I'm here hahaha.

[@THEeditorfreakkk]

@@bluet. Yea, I'm fine now, glad it was over though.

[@rickemsao]

DID YOU PASS?!!!! I WILL AS A NEWS REPORTER ON MY FILIPINO SUB TODAY!! WE'RE DIVIDED ON GROUPS THO

[@bluet.]

@@rickemsao I don't know who you are referring to, but if it's me... I'm glad to say that our roleplay was successful. Although I stammered while delivering my lines, I'm happy that it's already finished. And btw, I'm a Filipino too.

[@rickemsao]

@@bluet. AHHH SORRY it's my first time opening my inbox after 3 weeks. And YES, our reporting and presentation was successful we even have music going on at the background so yeah. Also i can't deliver all my lines without running out of breath every 5 secs. Overall we did a great job.

[@MrThermostatic]

And remember to rehearse a question and answer between the newscaster in the studio and whoever is out on the street before the segment comes to a close.

[@Legion004]

Actually heard , because you can see voice.

[@handrawan6363]

You can see voice?

[@alligrace4920]

[@someimperfection]

[@jiayeager2189]

Yyep

[@kimnamjoonissquishy7858]

[@handrawan6363]

So does that mean you are 13 now?

[@dstorm7752]

The key is to be a Left Wing ideologue.

[@Jaynit]

First

[@handrawan6363]

You sure are

[@shahajimadale3262]

Neutral accent , not to show bised excitement. Come to INDIA I bet u will get heartattack

[@resistor8735]

Not mind giving fake news

[@foreveravocado4792]

This is bad :(

[@handrawan6363]

In my opinion it's good!

[@bubblemuffinxp]

[@Voello]

Is this some form of parody?

[@JohnSmith-cc3ud]

How to be acceptably phony countrywide

[@mehbabeisokanee]

Should this be called "how to talk like a total Douche bag"?

[@handrawan6363]

I mean, they just talk slowly and clearly, so No?

[@charliepearce8767]

Another reason why not to watch and listen to the lies the TV news regurgitates.... So boring...annoying...infuriating.

[@4231998]

this guy needs to get laid

[@handrawan6363]

I think you, deserve to get laid too nick

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Step 1: be willing to deceive the masses, spewing whatever nonsense that was scripted for you to read.

[@BriansMac]

I don't like these YOUNG female news and weather casters on the tv now. They sound like pre- puberty little girls with that high pitched squeal and they giggle too much. They need to LEARN to talk with a more serious DEEPER and CLEARER voice that we can all understand.

[@boogaturk8363]

I thought it was just me. We have one weather caster that reminds me of Dawn Lazarus from SNL.

[@handrawan6363]

Yes, that's why this video was made!

[@TheGhostWriterGirl]

OK boomer.
