Today's Outfit: (Not So) Camera Shy
Even though I never actually work in TV, I had quite a bit of an experience being in front of the camera. When I was still working as a radio DJ, where everybody thought the next step would have to be TV, so I did a few auditions for some TV shows, thinking that I, too, should move on to that direction (later on I realized, I never wanted it at all). I remember being really nervous the first time I had to do it, which was probably why I didn’t get the gig in any of the auditions I went to 😀
Then I worked for Hard Rock Cafe as a PR and also did a few TV interviews. Same thing happened when I was working for MAC Cosmetics. As a PR Manager, it was my job to speak to press on behalf of the brand and I lost count how many times I had camera pointed at me and bright light shone on my face, while I had to look calm, composed and said exactly the things I was supposed to say. Then there was one period where I even landed a gig as a host of a TV show for MNC Lifestyle, although, because it took too much time away from the business, it was short-lived.
