History

Established in 2011.

Students at Break Into TV have been training to become great on-camera personalities and booking gigs in the entertainment industry for two years. From its launch in May of 2011, Jonathan Novack has approached his classes with one simple philosophy: If his students can learn to simply be themselves on-camera, they will connect with their viewers; and this ability will result in those students booking jobs and having success.

«The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.» — William Ward
This quote is the essence of Jonathan Novack. Only take this course if you’re prepared to change your outlook on life. Jonathan’s teaching is transformative and constructive. From the first hour, you’ll do exercises that will have you breaking out of your shell. But you won’t realize — and there’s no time for self-judgement — because you’re busy having a good time. After live shots to improv exercises, you’ll grow and get better. I felt like break dancing at the end of the second day! Yes, Jonathan, you’re just that good!

In 2012 I took the ‘Break Into TV’ classes for 5 months, I found them to be extremely helpful for my TV ambitions and also so much fun!
Jonathan is a knowledgeable TV veteran and a natural teacher. From the newbies that are shy in front of the camera to the polished students that are working in the industry, he offers pointed feedback to each person as to what they can improve, with lots of positive feedback as well.
These classes definitely helped me improve my on-camera performance, ad lib skills, and confidence.
The other students were friendly and fun, we cheered each other on and laughed continuously through each class. Just for the entertainment value alone it was worth the time and money!

Dont waste your money or time.
I dont normally write reviews but I wanted to warn people that this class is lame. Jonathan is not a teacher and doesn’t do a good job pretending that he is. you wont get to work much at all and will spend most of the time listening to him talk (he goes on and on without saying much, except the rare times you get to work, then feedback is non-exsistent,). He cannot control a classroom and many of my classmates were upset about the quality of the class, the fact that we rarely got to work, and that he lets people in the class who clearly just want attention ask questions and take a huge portion of the class. I could have learned more by reading on the internet, filming myself acting as a host, and watching it back.
If you are serious about your career, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

Am currently taking the tv hosting classes offered by Jonathan Novack and am so very happy with the training I’m receiving. The classes are limited in size so that each person gets ample time in front of the camera. Also, the exercises are varied and relevant to what you might experience on an audition, which is extremely helpful. Jonathan sends you your takes after each class so that you can see what you’re doing on camera and improve from week to week.
After studying under other coaches who were more interested in taking my money than actually helping me break into the tv hosting business, this class is a breath of fresh air. Classes are affordable, the class atmosphere is relaxed and fun, and you walk away each evening feeling glad that you came out. I will definitely be continuing my training under Jonathan and would recommend this class to anyone interested in tv hosting.

This is the best television and live hosting class I have ever found. Jonathan Novack, the instructor is amazing with ten years of solid on-air experience. The classes are weekly and limited to about 12 people per session. With a three hour class time that amounts to A LOT of on-camera and interactive practice time. You learn teleprompter, script writing, improv, interviewing, production pitch techniques, weather and green screen work, product sales, morning show hosting, and a lot more. He changes topics about every half hour to ensure that everyone is kept engaged and interested, regardless of their particular interest. All feedback is real time, most of your work is taped and immediately available in class for review so you can see yourself right then and there and fix whatever you are doing. Class attendees are normally upbeat and in to entertainment with a few corporate skill builders thrown in. He also brings in working professionals each month from popular and high-profile media outlets to talk to the class at least once a week — a total score for people wanting to know what’s out there. Highly recommended!
