You will be be working closely with the NCM team to create this live-edited program….hopefully in one take. Don’t worry, we will help you through that part.

There is a small fee to participate in this program. You can sign up for one or as many episodes as you like. Think of this as building your highlight reel in real-time. The more you do, the better you will get. Cost is $25 per episode.
