Sasha, sorry for the blunt and shouty subject line, but much as I enjoy your performance there's one error you constantly make - you direct your performance to the monitor and not the camera!
I'm puzzled beyond belief as to why nobody on the studio floor, be they production staff or model, has ever mentioned this to you. Obviously they haven't, because you never ever look at the camera, you direct your eyeline a few inches above it, ie. at the monitor.
This gives you an unfocused and shifty appearance and detracts from the one on one aspect you're no doubt trying to achieve. The duty producers at Bang Babes must be all as thick as pigshit not to have noticed that you never look to camera. Either that or they're too scared to tell you!
I work in TV and have worked on these types of channels, and I know how tempting it is for inexperienced presenters to direct their performance to the monitor, which is after all only slightly above the camera lens and very bright, attracting you like a moth to the flame.
However, please could you make the effort to locate the camera lens and look into it when you want to interact with the caller or make live announcements? If you don't get what I mean, watch how the other presenters do it.
I'm now going to invoice Bang Babes for this production advice which sadly they seem to be incapable of giving.
PS Please don't take this to heart - even if you don't look at the camera you're still one of the best presenters around.
