Marc,

I would like to thank you for the time and effort you have put forth in relation to my son's video and audio demo. I am convinced this will put Adam in a position for an opportunity that is related to his future career. Its real simple for me. I size up people in 5 minutes, you say what you do and do what you say. As a matter of fact Marc, you go beyond your contract. While a demo reel is an important aspect in this process, what I appreciate is the fact that you provide timely consulting, coaching and mentoring along the way to an individual seeking a potential position in the broadcast industry. I know you don't have to provide this service for a living. It clearly shows in your attitude, that you truly enjoy working to support commited students in their quest to break into broadcasting industry.

Sincerely,

Michael Bagni
Massachusetts, USA

Michael Bagni has graciously agreed to provide contact information upon request.

Lebron James has a coach. So does Tiger Woods. So does the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.

But coaches aren’t just for athletes. Many corporate executives have coaches. So do sales persons. In fact, just about anybody can have a coach. There are personal coaches, life coaches, voice coaches, academic coaches, and training and development coaches. In fact, there are even “trade show” and “anxiety” coaches!

Whether they’re on top of their game or simply learning the game, just out of the mailroom or veterans of the boardroom, many are helped by the presence and poise of a coach.

A good coach is an independent, seasoned observer who knows how to convey the finer points of a particular craft. Someone who not only solves the most vexing problems, but often takes pre-emptive action before they occur. It’s a person who knows the most efficient road to success. It’s a person who can allay your fears while inspiring you to great heights.

Many have tried to go it alone, only to fail in their attempts to break into broadcasting as a performer on television or radio. They’ve invested heavily in a college education and have little or nothing to show for their efforts and money. YourAirtime® is solely designed to educate, enlighten, indeed to coach you in pursuit of a place in this extremely competitive field. YourAirtime® is on-call for you, attuned specifically to your wants and desires, your abilities and dreams.

Since 1977, Marc Zumoff estimates he has been live, on the air, about 5,000 times. His formative years were spent in news as an anchor, reporter and writer. Eventually, he crossed over into sports, announcing basketball, football, hockey and sports such as bicycle racing, horse jumping and crew. Marc also has extensive experience in producing and editing on both television and radio.

Though Marc is currently performing in his ultimate role as the television voice for his hometown Philadelphia 76ers, the road to that goal was circuitous and challenging. Shortly after leaving Temple University in 1977 (Marc did not officially graduate until 1992, but that’s another story), he was working in—of all places—a scrap iron and steelyard. Between stints driving a truck, heavy equipment and sorting grades of iron, steal and metal, Marc would send tapes to radio stations in and around the Philadelphia area. He landed his first job in broadcasting in July, 1977 at a small radio station in Trenton New Jersey. The station purported to be all-news, but in fact, was merely a “rip-and-read” outlet, where news anchors simply read wire copy, while the rest of the operation was run on a shoestring. It seemed the station was off the air more than it was on the air, but it was a start. At $110-a-week, Marc was proud to say he was getting paid to perform live, on the radio.

During this time, Marc was about a year into a two-day-a-week position as a bottom-rung production assistant at KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia. Those two days were Saturday and Sunday, leaving this 22-year old to work seven days a week. But, his hustle would produce dividends. Simultaneously being a big fish in a small pond at the Trenton station while at the same time being a small fish in a big pond at the larger Philadelphia station would prove to be a valuable formula for career success down the road.

Gradually, Marc moved up, working at better stations as a newscaster, while maintaining his low-level production assistant job at KYW Newsradio. His break into sportscasting came while working at a station in Princeton, New Jersey in 1979. The play-by-play announcer for Princeton University football and basketball was relieved of his duties. Already a member of the station’s news team and ‘on the inside,’ Marc Zumoff was able to learn of the opening before anyone else. He informed station management of his play-by-play abilities and, because they were strapped and needed a replacement right away, Marc quickly moved into the booth.

About a year later, KYW Newsradio promoted Marc to a freelance anchor/reporter position. Again, this was an opportunity he could take advantage of because he was already ‘on the inside,’ working at KYW as a production assistant. Simultaneously, he had been getting his practical, on-air experience at the smaller station that was within driving distance

Coincidentally, a contact Marc had developed at KYW provided a huge break into Philadelphia sportscasting. That contact left KYW to become the public relations director of the local, indoor soccer team. That team needed a television announcer and his friend informed him of the opening. Marc auditioned and got the position—his first job as a television sportscaster--proving the value of making a keeping in touch with key associates.

The indoor soccer team televised its games on two outlets, including a regional cable channel called PRISM. After the indoor soccer team folded in 1982, PRISM hired Marc Zumoff as a part-time staff announcer. Shortly thereafter, he was hired fulltime to anchor its pre-game, halftime and post-game coverage of Philadelphia 76ers basketball. This again, reinforced the value of ‘being on the inside,’ even if you’re not employed in your ideal position.

Marc held this post until August 17, 1994 at precisely 1:34pm when he got the telephone call he had long-imagined getting. It was the call that informed him he was to become the television voice of the Philadelphia 76ers, the job he had longed for ever since he was a youngster growing up in the Northeast section of the city.

Entering his 14th year as the Sixers TV voice, Marc Zumoff is grateful for what has happened, though it didn’t happen without a lot of hard work, a lot of learning and of course, a little luck. But that luck, as Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey once said, “is the residue of design.”

Foreword

This book is simply the best single resource on screenwriting available. I had the benefit of Sheila Gallien's insights on every script I wrote for six years: from Apollo 13 to Cast Away, with four or five others thrown in for good measure.

Her advice was always clear, direct, and to the point. It was always grounded in rock-solid principles of story-telling. She helped me see what I had done wrong, and how to make what I had done right even better. That is a rare gift.

Other books have been written on the how-to's of screenwriting. None give the writer such an insider's view on how to trouble-shoot your own script. It's like being given the best toolbox in the business.

Above all, it's specific. Dip into it any time you know you can make your screenplay better and you're not quite sure how.

Or better yet, browse through it when you're stuck and in the depths of writer's despair. It's so shrewd and pointed and wise in the ways not only of screenwriting, but life itself, that at the very least it will make you laugh. And I wager it will send you back to your script inspired, with renewed determination.

Having this book is the next best thing to having Sheila reading over your shoulder. And it doesn't get any better than that.
