Teens Learn Broadcasting at YBA’s Summer Session.

I’ve waited so long for the first day of the first week of the Young Broadcasters of America  2010 summer session.  Today was everything I thought and hoped it would be and oh so much more. Good or bad? Keep reading.

Eleven kids ranging in age from 11-17 (Boys and girls) start the day meeting each other and the one and only, Jimmy Young. If you have never experienced Jimmy in all his glory, working with kids, it’s a must see.  Especially when juggling the ages and different media interests.  It’s magical he’s magical. I’m still trying to figure out how he does it. He’s smiling and laughing and more importantly, the kids are smiling and laughing.

So, what did they do from 10am-4pm? First things first and that’s to get on camera. OK, now everyone’s been on camera at least once and read from the tele-prompter.

To shake it up and loosen everyone up it’s time to do a commercial. Not just any commercial, but a “Billy Mays” type of commercial. Remember him, the outrageous commercial pitch man? Here, kids are encouraged to reach outside their comfort zone. Need I tell you how much fun this was?

Future broadcasters of America are budding in Natick, MA and I’m pretty sure that a good time was had by all.

Stay tuned for more inside scoop at YBA.
