Testimonials

I first joined Presenters Platform to improve on my presentation skills for facilitating nutrition courses, however I soon found myself enjoying the camera and it turned into improving my TV presentation skills too! Paulus not only gives you confidence in front of the camera, but in yourself. This helped motivate me to enter MasterChef – if you think you’ve got it, go out and get it! Because of Paulus’ course I am now a much better public speaker and actually enjoy the media side of...

I was 18 when I met Paulus and did Presenters Platform Level 1. And right from the start Paulus not only gave me the right platform to develop but he gave me the encouragement and most of all, the time. The best thing about the Presenters Platform is that you’re surrounded by like minded people which proves as a great support when you’re looking from the outside, in to this industry. You start to feel more a part of it, and in turn, you become a part of it. Paulus is now a great...

As a professional athlete with interests in pursing a career in the media, I found presenters platform to be the ideal form of education to achieve my goals. I found Paulus professional, experienced and understanding of what I wanted to achieve from the course. I would not only recommend him to other professional athletes looking to improve their media skills but to anyone who would like to become more comfortable in front of the camera.

My entire life I have always had a lot to say, but perhaps never had the right skills to express myself exactly how I wanted to. As a professional athlete I am representing myself and my image throughout everyday life, interviews and meetings. I have been learning along the way, but I was looking for some help to take my interviews, hosting and confidence to the next level. I found Presenters Platform and completed a workshop with Paulus Romijn. His workshop covered so much of what I wanted...

Paulus Romijn and Sally Spencer-Harris were beyond wonderful. At a moments notice they organised everything for a successful presenting audition for the Jim Henson Creature Shop Challenge Presenter role based in the USA while i was in New Zealand. Paulus worked tirelessly filming, directing and editing my audition to achieve the exact outcome that I asked them for. I highly recommend and by the way I got the job.

2013 was the year I chose to step up a level with my TV experience. For six or so years I had featured in several TV commercials, but I wanted to do more than that and had aspirations to work in commercials whereby I would have a speaking role. I signed up for Stage One of The Presenters Platform with that objective in mind. I had no idea the impact The Presenters Platform would have on my life. I completed all three stages of The Presenters Platform during 2013 and continue to attend the...

Presenters platform has added so much colour and volume to my life, both as an actor and as a person! My expectations of the course were exceeded beyond measure in the most magical, organic and hilarious of ways every week. One class into Level 1 and I had realized that Paulus’ abundant supply of encouragement, challenge and industry knowledge had led me to discover a lifelong love of presenting. In addition, being a part of the Presenter’s Platform professional network had been an...

The Presenters Platform offers a unique and professional environment in order to give you an edge in developing your presenting skills to camera.

I was recommended to train with Paulus as I wanted to improve my direct to camera presenting having worked in live and pre-recorded television and public speaking. I attended the advanced presenters course at Presenter’s Platform. I found the feedback and excellent advice given by Paulus to be second to none. The instant feedback is paramount to successful learning. I found the practice in preparing a variety of scripts each week and being able to deliver these to camera, watch it back...

I started off the Presenter’s Platform as a 16 year old boy with a dream, burning ambition and potential. Under Paulus’ tutelage, I gained a renewed confidence and the tools I needed to become what I had strived to become – a TV Presenter. The Presenter’s Platform equips you with the fundamentals of what it means to be a presenter. It helped me gain a sense of confidence, drive and identity of what I wanted to become. Running through actual scripts, conducting street interviews and...

As a wife and mother,life coach and social entrepreneur I thought I was taking the Presenters Platform to increase my skill set….and ended up taking it to another level! The awareness I gained through Paulus’s intensely rewarding process enabled me to audition for numerous TVC’s and land my first central TV Presenting role just 2 weeks after completing the course. Without Paulus and his guidance I wouldn’t currently be incorporating what I love to do in life-on camera, awesome… just...

The presenters platform, is a real life environment that tests, develops and nurtures your independent growth as a presenter. Paulus tests the boundaries in a professional sense, which not only helps you but also provides a real context into what presenting can be like.

I have completed levels one and two of the Presenters Platform course, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else in the performing arts scene. As a performing artist myself, I gained a lot of confidence in front of the camera, not just as an actress, but as myself. Paulus taught me the skills to be more open, to listen more, and be more aware of others when interviewing. I have now enough knowledge to go and become a professional presenter in my field of work, and I would do the course...
Jessica Fong aka JJ Fong
Actor / Spark Presenter
At first, I thought being in front of the camera and presenting was going to be ‘easy peasy’, but let me tell you now, it’s not as easy as it looks. It takes a lot of practice, but the more time you spend in front of the camera, the more comfortable you’ll get. Presenters Platform really helped me understand all of the little things that helped my performance on camera. After doing just a few courses, Paulus worked with me before I had a Presenting audition and it helped me to get a...

I have been lucky enough to have received Paulus’ tutoring and mentorship. His workshops and encouragement led me to put myself forward for presenting opportunities and get them! The courses equipped me with a wide range of skills and experience needed for me to exchange my previous career with this one. It was not just on a professional level that Paulus was helpful, but some encouragement in personal growth was included in the package. Paulus has a unique personal connection with people,...

Paulus’s Presenter Platform Courses are awesome! I have done two courses and I walked away having developed confidence with and without the camera. The skills you learn from his courses are invaluable and I would recommend to anyone trying to get into the industry. A few months after completing his course I picked up a 4 month presenter role for the Yellow Treehouse Campaign with Yellow Pages. His courses are not only informative and challenging they are fun and you meet some really...

My time spent training with Paulus gave me the base I needed to perform my job as co-host on “Dancing with the Stars”. The training experience was new, scary and emotional but also enlightening. I shall be back to learn more because knowledge of your craft is a valuable tool.

Before starting the Presenters Platform courses I already thought that I was a good presenter having done a lot of public speaking over the previous 4 years. However the course blew me away. Not only did I expand my toolbox of skills, but I finished the courses being more confident – not just with presenting but with life in general. The courses gave me an X factor, and I’m so pleased I made the decision to enrol. Paulus is not only an excellent tutor, but he also has years of presenting...

I have found the course inspirational every week, creatively and challenging yourself in a safe and confident environment. It has been emotionally fulfilling to have something new that pushes you out of your comfort zone, which has a positive affect in work and general everyday life. I have and would recommend this course to friends and colleagues.

Paulus has become one of our regular guest lecturers, as the main coach for directors, helping them build rapport with actors, elaborate on stories and give “juice” to the projects at hand. He is very popular among students as he helps them expand their vision, narrative imagination, communication skills and in a nutshell; become better at directing actors. The New Zealand Film Academy is richer and more professional with Paulus on board.

When I first met Paulus I was 16, a high school student with the dream of becoming a reporter and TV presenter. I completed the Presenters Platform course stage one while I was in high school and stage two during university. Both courses provided me with valuable and practical experience alongside professional guidance and advice. Thanks to the skills Paulus helped me develop and the confidence that came from completing his courses, I managed to land my first full-time reporting job at...

“I highly recommend the Presenters Platform for all those who are serious about expanding their level of expertise and comfort zone working in front of the camera. What an amazing transformation to experience from the first morning with us all feeling nervous ‘looking down the barrel’ of the camera to the end of the workshop feeling confident and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

“Whether you want to get that plum part at your next audition, or fine tune your skills so you wipe the floor with your rivals at that new business pitch or you want to give the best business presentation of your life at the next company conference, I can’t recommend Paulus and the Presenters’ Platform course highly enough. I’ve been in PR and communications for over 30 years and been providing media training almost as long, but still learned a barrel-load of invaluable advice and new...

“I attended the presenting stage 1 course with the intention of learning how to present on video. We wanted to use video blogs and training on our business website. I was way outside my comfort zone. My first thought every session was I can’t do this, but with encouragement from Paulus and the rest of the group you learn that you can get over the fear of the camera and seeing yourself onscreen to really looking forward to and enjoying the challenge and experience. But the course is so...

“Paulus Romijn’s presenters’ course has proved to be invaluable to me in my role as Communications Manager at the Problem Gambling Foundation of New Zealand. As a regular media spokesperson for the organisation, the skills I learned in both stage one and stage two provided me with much more than basic media training. Each eight week block allowed me to build confidence working to camera and for me that was a highlight of the course. I was able to carry that confidence and new skills...

“As a communications manager it is my job to know how to deliver a message to an audience in the right way. So I signed on to do Presenters Platform Level 1 as a way to improve my skills and to understand more about that side of the camera. Presenters Platform has enabled me to take that even further and to understand exactly what it takes to present well, connect with an audience and to deliver with confidence. I was hooked from week 1 and now, at level 2 and 16 weeks later, I’m still...

"As someone who speaks to audiences as part of my job, I was relatively confident in public speaking before I met Paulus, but Presenter’s Platform had given me a new lease on life by showing me how I could be making even more of an impact on my listeners by tweaking some old habits. Throughout all the sessions I’ve done with Paulus, a couple things remain constant: how quickly time flies when you are in a session and the disappointment of finishing a course. Paulus has perfected the...

"Working with Paulus from Presenters Platform for my media training was such a great experience for me. It allowed me to get more comfortable speaking on camera and not feel intimidated. As I am entering the public arena more and more it is imperative that my communication is clear and concise to get my message across and Paulus’s training has been invaluable in helping me do this.

I started the course with the intention of learning the skills necessary for making online videos and courses for my healing programme.

However in the following weeks it came as a complete surprise to me that I was uncomfortable in front of the camera. The...

"As radio diversifies from a strictly audio medium – to one that increasingly incorporates visual media, we’ve been calling on the talents of Paulus to mentor our students in how to present to camera. There are no students staring vacantly down a camera here! Instead, Paulus coaches them in physical expression and effective storytelling, to craft engaging performances to camera. Student feedback for Paulus’s workshops is always overwhelmingly positive and he is a huge contributor to...
