Workshop
01What it is about
Speaking on camera is a discipline of its own — master it and you come across as more assured and more credible. For yourself and for the company. You know how it goes: talkative in everyday life, easy to be around, with a presence of your own. Then the red light comes on — and suddenly you are someone else.
In this workshop you learn to hold yourself and speak on camera with confidence.
02Why
Video is the most direct way for a company to show itself — on social, on the web, in internal communication. Appearing on camera to convey information goes down well. Usually. Provided you come across as likeable, genuine and capable. Body language and bearing carry a large share of whether a person is believed — and the content quickly becomes secondary.
03How the day runs
We look at it together: What do you want to achieve? Where are you now, where should this go? The workshop is built on that.
Practice is the whole thing — small exercises train you to steer your body language, your voice, your presence and your nerves.
Rolling, and action — we shoot short takes of you together.
We watch the takes together and you get direct notes from our coach that you can put to work in the next exercise straight away.
04Skills
You train with us on how you come across on camera — from getting ready to the finished take.
How to let go of tension before the shoot and use breath and voice deliberately.
What your hands, your posture and your face do in front of a lens.
How to stay present on camera instead of freezing up.
How to make a script that was written for you sound like you.
How to match your eye line, your pace and your pauses to the lens.
What to settle beforehand — from the running order to what you wear.
05Info
The workshop is for anyone who wants to perform better on camera — beginners as much as people already at ease who want to take the next step. PR, marketing, product, sales, HR, team leads, CEO, small firm or corporation — we fit the content to you.

06The coaches
Which of the two leads the workshop depends on the date and the group.
Anna Möbus is an actor for theatre, film and advertising, and works as a coach and acting teacher. She has run workshops with companies and public institutions for many years. Among other things she sits on the Handelsblatt jury that assesses the rhetoric of DAX chief executives each year. Her considered, warm manner tends to go down very well with workshop groups.
Jörn Groneck is an actor and director. With more than ten years behind him in coaching, staging, storytelling, editing and directing actors, he works for international clients across cinema, television, advertising and sport.
07What people said
I have already had first reactions from several participants who came out of the two days feeling very good about it — taken with Anna as a trainer, and with the content as well. Anna was simply outstanding as a coach: very approachable, warm, motivating, empathetic and thoroughly organised at the same time.
The coaching was great and intense. There was a lot of input, and I liked that we worked with the camera so much.
Demanding, activating and hugely useful. It went beyond what we expected. High impact for our institution. And working with Jörn improved how our people work with each other — a valuable side effect we had not counted on.
The workshop with Jörn was terrific. He was thoroughly prepared, knew our videos and had precise, useful notes for every single participant. He was hugely likeable with it and the whole thing was simply fun. The step up in our product was visible immediately and everyone was fully up for it. 11 out of 10.
