Poker + Blogging Skills = TV Show

My Going to the Audition Look

When I heard that a local poker tv show is on the works and they’re looking for a host, I didn’t hesitate. I WANTED TO BE PART OF IT!

Yes, I wanted to host the show, but I wanted to be part of the production more. Having played poker for more than two years, and being a blogger / writer / PR consultant, I thought I had the credentials to be part of the show.

Two nights ago, I went to the production company’s office to audition, telling the director I would also be interested in being a writer for the show or as part of the production team.

Yesterday morning, I received a message that I have been chosen to be part of the team. WOOHOO! And that there would be a meeting and technical rehearsal at around 3 pm. Ooops! I had a workshop/dinner with my friends.

I wen to the workshop/dinner but left for about an hour for the meeting at the poker club. Met the two hosts, Carol Smith who has been a poker player and a former DJ. I told the director that she would be the perfect host. And I’m happy they agreed. The other host is Soy, I haven’t really talked to her yet.

Also got to meet some of the members of the production team. And I was informed I would be the writer and segment producer of the show. Ooohkay! Theoretically, I know what those mean. And I have attended a couple of video blogging shows by THE Kring Elenzano So I kinda know what to do. KINDA!

And I did these sort of videos ON MY OWN before…

After the workshop/dinner, I went back to the poker club for the technical rehearsal. The crew was having a mock tournament so they’d understand the game better. Then, we had a rehearsal with sit N go players at the TV table. I had to practice taking down notes. I was used to doing it before and I think I will get back to my rhythm soon. Hopefully, by tomorrow.

Here I am… 1 am and I am at home instead of watching a movie and having a good time with my friends. Because we start taping tomorrow. And I have to write the script. LOL!

I hope my poker experience and blogging/video blogging/podcasting skills will serve me well.

Thank you very much to Kenth Bajo and the Southspot Crew for giving me the chance and to Sir Bong Gallego and EP Choco!
