Alan Carr

In this show Alan Carr has to interview different celebrities to try get all he can out of them and try and make them open up more and share what everyone wants to know. He is good at his job because he seems friendly like he is just having a chat with them which really does make them open up.

Verbal Techniques
Alan Carr is known to be very camp and his voice and the way he speaks shows how camp he is. I think this helps him in the interview because he it makes it seem like your having a chat with your friend because of how informal and friendly he is. He uses simple words because the audience he is presenting to are not high class and this show is not high brow or anything so he keeps it simple and funny. He is known for his accent and voice for being very cheeky and asking things that everyone wants to know but he does it in a nice and friendly way. His South East accent is good for the target audience because everyone can understand him but it makes if funny too because he is quite 'common' like many people will be who is watching his show. He has being selected to present because he can get on with anyone and his bubbly personality makes him the prefect presenter for a chat show because he can talk to anyone and when he does he can get them to feel very comfortable so they open up and tell him what he wants to know.

Visual Techniques
He wears quite casual but smart clothes to create a laid back feel and so it is like that is what he would wear on any normal day when he is out with his friends. His body language is very laid back and comfortable so that his guest feel the same way. He sits back in his chair with his legs crossed and his arms moving around as he talks. This makes him look like he is just having a conversation with a friend and it will not only make the guest feel relaxed but it will always make the audience at home relaxed and comfortable as well. His facial expressions help the interview because it helps along the guest by making him seem more interested. His body language is appropriate to the audience because he talks to the audience and faces them to ask them questions and include them in the show.

Context
We see him in a studio where he is sat on his chair looking very comfortable, laid back and informal. He is perfect for this show because his presenting has a lot of comedy in it so he appeals to both women and men. Being quite 'common' and using very simple language means he will appeal to C2-E on the socio scale.

He could use the laid back approach to get celebrities to talk to him so he can appear very fake like he is putting it on but I think he is like that anyway and his bubbly personality is why the producers picked him.
