As part of the city’s children’s arts competition-festival, «Success — 2025,» I served as one of the lead hosts for the Gala Concert’s theatrical program. The one-hour event was held at MAOU «Secondary School No. 78» and gathered winners from various genre contests, creative groups, and individual performers. My role extended beyond mechanically reading a pre-written script—it demanded a complex set of interconnected skills, including public speaking to an unfamiliar audience, on-camera performance, memorizing lines without teleprompter assistance, synchronizing entrances with other hosts, and embodying a specific theatrical character—each skill carrying independent value for the media project.
In addition, the preparatory work deserves significant attention. Before the concert, we conducted several rehearsals where we worked on not only the script but also the entrance timings, blocking, interaction, and engagement with the audience. This helped me understand that a high-quality media product is always the result of iterative preparation, not just the final performance.
So, my media project isn’t just about having participated in an event; it’s a demonstration of an applied set of competencies: public communication, media literacy, team coordination, stage discipline, and acting flexibility. Each of these skills is directly applicable to media production.
