It’s Not What You Say… combines the methodologies I have derived from 20+ years of coaching prominent actors, anchors, religious leaders, politicians, talk-show hosts, directors, producers and writers; with detailed and frank interviews from many well known celebrities such as Patrick Swayze (“Ghost,” “Dirty Dancing”), Bob Goen (“Entertainment Tonight”) and Dick Clark (“American Bandstand”). Experts confessing personal struggles and giving “insider” success tips, coupled with understandable and practical applications, promise to make this text “the standard” for professionals as well as laymen. |

While teaching television and film at SMU, I found that most students lacked skills in presenting themselves and their ideas... Along comes a book that teaches just that. Read it, practice it. It can change your life.

Bill Cakmis not only teaches you how to reach people, but how to hold them at your attention. Simply put...if you don't read it, you'll never be what you could have been.
Steve Burton, CBS Sportscaster , WBZ TV Boston
Why have some television personalities, newscasters and actors commanded our attention and respect for decades, while others never seem to connect with an audience? Cakmis' reflections are both wise and entertaining. They will be of value to seasoned as well as aspiring media professionals.
