One of the key skills needed for my role is being organised as I am managing various documents, files, conversations and often liaising with production re filming days. What are the key skills needed for your role? Some of the things I am involved in include being a part of the pre-show audition process, brainstorming song ideas for performances suggesting ideas for song arrangement, clearing music (checking songs can be used under ITV’s blanket licensing agreement), liaising with acts, our Music Director and Vocal Coaches, attending band rehearsals, creating edit lyrics, supporting contestants and general admin. I am currently the Music Researcher on The Voice and a typical day can vary depending on where we are in the process of making the show. I have since worked as an Edit Researcher and Casting Researcher on the show too. I got regular updates about new jobs from the ITV Talent Team and applied for a VT Researcher role for The Voice. Through this I was paired with Cheryl Woodcock (Talent Executive at ITV Entertainment), who gave me lots of advice and guidance on applying for jobs and working towards my career goals.
I got a role on Britain’s Got Talent and signed up to the Creative Access Mentoring Scheme, which had just launched for alumni. I got a job at Big Talk Productions as a Development Assistant in 2012 from an opportunity they posted up, and so became a part of Creative Access alumni.Īfter working at Channel 5 for a couple of years as PA to their Commissioners, I decided to move into Production/Editorial in 2017, as I wanted to work in roles that allowed me to be a part of the creative process. How did you get your role of Researcher at ITV?Ībout a year after I left uni a friend of mine mentioned ‘Creative Access’ to me, which was a new organisation providing internship and job opportunities in the creative industries for young people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. I also did some work on a new comedy pilot.
By the time I had left university I already had quite a bit of experience under my belt which helped me to get a temp role at NBC, which I worked in for about 8 months alongside my 4music role (I was working 6 days a week!).

In my 2nd year I got a weekend job at 4Music/The Box Plus Network, as a Quality Control Operator, which involved checking charts and features for 7 music channels before they aired, giving me insight into broadcast/transmission.
I also took on Runner jobs on a live Dispatches programme for Channel 4, a Disney show and a couple of UK films.

I hounded lots of production companies and got work at various TV & Film companies, including Maveric Television, MTV, Revolution Films and Fiesta Productions. My degree was a sandwich course, meaning I was able to get about a year’s worth of work experience too. I did Media Production for A-level, decided I was interested in TV and went on to study Communication and Media Studies at university.
