Sergio,

no worries about being on tv at all. it's an easy gig. You just have to be moving and be into the music. The camera probably won't be on you too much unless you're the artist. What's the show? they sometimes do makeup depending on the show. miming is easy enough, just make like you're playing and having a good time. It's way less nerve racking to play to a pre recorded track, than to play live on tv and actually be playing. But either way you shouldn't worry about it at all. it's one of the more easy gigs. The only things that suck about it are the call times. If it's a morning or daytime tv show, you have to get up at the ass crack of dawn to go and set up in the studio and do sound check and stuff. Good Morning america and those kinds of shows are a pain in the ass. They air before 9am, and it's normally a 6am call time.


DOH!

Easy,

Janek
