It is my first time on the set of Great Day Houston. My first time in the studio of Houston's local channel 11 for that matter. I have been in the studio years ago for High School cheerleading when we won the national championship in Florida. But I'm hear for a different reason. I am not here to be congratulated or interviewed as a national champion, I am here to find a career. To learn the ins and outs of the industry. Discover it behind the scenes. The best way? To be in the live studio audience. So I contacted a few people and came across tickets for the show. I am stoked. I know what many of you are thinking - there's nothing much in Houston. I see it as the perfect opportunity. Somewhere to start. Something to look forward to. I am here and I am extremely excited.
So my friend and I take a seat. We are the only two not in a group of 15-20 members. We are not here to represent anything or any organization just here to enjoy the morning. A morning that has already started off so great for me. Everything fell into place. I received tickets and my best friend was available to go. Not common since everyone works during the week. So it all falls into place.
We get to take it all in as the producer tells us a little bit about the show, what we'll be seeing on the show this morning, when we are supposed to applaud and when we are to sit still and not make a peep. Easy enough. We receive prizes including tickets to the latest happenings in Houston - West Side Story, Monster Jam, etc. This is great!
Deborah Duncan walks around the corner and although we are supposed to be quiet at this moment everyone's holding on to the edge of their seats. You hear little screams and girls wave to her as she takes her spot for Great Day Houston to start for this morning of Jan 20. We've got a few doctors in here to discuss facial and spine treatments. A chef to throw together a tasty dip for upcoming superbowl parties, and someone to show us how to plant a tree for Arbor Day.
It is completely different than you see on TV. A lot goes on in here to get the job done. Will the subtitles show up correctly with the speaker's name? Will everything go according to planned? It did this morning and if there were any glitches we didn't notice. It ran smoothly and went great.
After the show we are asked to stay to take pictures for the GDH online gallery. I am excited to speak with Deborah to ask her a few questions. Of course, we are the last ones to leave. This was a great morning. Seeing that I am extremely influenced by Deborah Duncan and Mia Gradney to name a few..THIS is my dream job here and I hope to achieve that. But for now, enjoy my first post for Great Day Houston and enjoy the many pictures and videos below from today's great morning! Hopefully the first of many!
