But Why Should You Listen To Me?

Read The Story Of How I Secured My First Job In Broadcast Television In Only 6 Months With Virtually No Prior Experience!

Hi. My name is Nick Piper. You may, or may not know me. But I am a famous TV personality BY ACCIDENT – read on!

TV Show 'Off The Planet'	Coke Commerical	Ad for 'Dreams Come True'

 Before I was a television star, my life could not have been further removed from the entertainment industry. I was a part-time sports coach, drifting through the United Kingdom with a plan to backpack around the world before returning home to study physical education and – maybe - an impending career as a physiotherapist.

But in 1995, I was asked by a researcher to appear on a breakfast TV show in London to introduce a segment. I had previously written to the show to ask for any part-time employment as I was a struggling traveller.  I had no real interest in broadcasting, but it would make for an interesting day out.

When I arrived on set, Pamela Anderson walked through the dressing room, just as popstar Kylie Minogue started her interview. I was in a daze. Television was starting to look pretty good.

I said my script to camera and then was told by the floor manager that I could hang out for the rest of the morning. I watched on as 20-30 crew members rushed around with one objective on their mind….make the show come together!

This single day was a turning point in my life. Completely inspired by the experience of being on location with dedicated professionals, I discovered the adrenaline of entertaining people was unsurpassable, like nothing I had felt before.

I walked away thinking that I had stumbled across my future, like I was destined to find a career right there in Old Ford Lock, in London’s Docklands almost by accident.

But I am not easily impressed. I didn’t get excited by the celebrities, or the free catering, or even the chance to meet the production team.

I was captivated by the process – the collective team of directors, camera technicians, make-up artists, wardrobe stylists – all with their own small part to play in a large production, fronted by the hosts. I felt I belonged there - in that creative mess!

But how was I going to become a TV professional?

	I had NO training.
	I had NO qualifications.
	I was a NOBODY. I had NO right to impede in a business full of egos, experience and excellence.

But yet my spark was lit, and when I returned to New Zealand in early 1996, I decided I would pursue this 'dream' despite not quite knowing what to do. So you can see, before I learnt what you're about to learn today, I was just like any other struggling TV wannabe – frustrated at the lack of work, getting ignored by agents, television networks refusing to take my calls and – worse still – being told by everyone around me that ‘I would NEVER make it as a TV Star!’

Every day I would wake up and question whether or not I was making the right choice. My friends were all working regular jobs, they had money, spare-time and active social lives -
whereas I was working several part-time jobs just to make ends meet!

 

Remember: producing great television is a team effort!  The wonderful thing about television is everyone is passionate about what they do, so it really is an awesome environment to work in.  Here’s just a small collection of what I got up to in my 7 years with TV3 (Part of the Canwest Network) Travel Show . .
