Why join Spotlight Presenters?

Spotlight's unique directory is the most comprehensive and respected guide to professional broadcasters working in the UK. It is the UK's only directory of professional broadcasters and is a handy tool for casting directors, production companies, TV and radio stations, advertising agencies and publicists to browse and locate talent for all their future productions. Professionals can search the Spotlight database by specific criteria, so presenters will always be found for the right job! Spotlight members can also upload voice-clips and showreels as part of their online CVs, enabling them instantly to showcase their presenting talents.

Casting and production teams can use Spotlight's powerful search engine to locate presenters by search fields including specialist skills, location, accents, previous credits and age / appearance: offering a far more targeted search.

Spotlight's online job information service - The Spotlight Link - also enables production companies to email specific casting briefs directly to agents and presenters, who can respond instantly by submitting their Spotlight CV if their skills match the brief.

Recent examples of presenting work cast via Spotlight in this way include royal wedding coverage for TLC, corporate for youtube, interviewer for Johnson & Johnson and even pantomimes.

Membership of Spotlight ensures a presenter can be found and contacted quickly, easily and professionally and is open to all presenters who are 18+ years of age. Once an application is approved, a presenter's web CV will go live on our website within days, and the presenter and their agent will begin to receive job information via The Spotlight Link. The presenter will appear in the next edition of the Spotlight Presenters directory published annually in January.

The Presenters directory is split into two sections, Presenters and Emerging Talent Presenters.
Those featured in the Presenters section have professional broadcast experience. The Emerging Talent section showcases new, up-and-coming names on the presenting scene and can be found at the back of the Presenters book.
