Early life, education and the beginning of her media career

[edit]

Alice Tumler was born on 11 November 1978 in Innsbruck, Austria, and is the daughter of a French mother and an Austrian father.

After her high school graduation in Austria she moves to London to study Mass Communications and Cultural Studies at the University of North London. She continues her higher education in Paris at the renowned drama school Cours Florent.

In 2003, she joins the local French West Indian radio and TV network RFO Martinique and hosts a radio program for young people for several months.

Career

[edit]

In 2004 Alice Tumler joins TRACE TV in Paris to record voice-overs in French, English and German and hosts her first minor shows as a TV host.

The same year, she hosts her first weekly show “Le monde en direct” on French TV channel VOYAGE.

In December 2004 she co-hosts the KORA All African Music Awards, the biggest pan-African music prize, in Johannesburg, South Africa.  

After a two-year break, during which she travels through South America and Asia, she is spotted by the French production company KM Production and joins the French-German cultural channel ARTE to co-host the music program ONE SHOT NOT together with French drummer Manu Katché in French, English and German.

Between 2007 and 2014 Alice Tumler presents all sorts of different music shows and cultural events on ARTE, such as ARTE Lounge, the Montreux Jazz Festival, Les Vielles Charrues, the Hell Fest, the Jazz Open Stuttfart, “La Bohème en banlieu” or “Musik entdecken mit Thomas Hengelbrock: Romeo und Julia”.

In 2010 she travels along the Argentinian and Brazilian coast to shoot travel documentaries for THALASSA on France 3.

After giving birth to her first daughter she integrates the Austrian public service ORF in 2013 and host the prime-time entertainment show “Die grosse Chance”.

In Austria, her notoriety grows quickly and her international and multilingual personality enable her to present numerous international TV shows, such as the “Life Ball”, the world’s biggest charity event in the fight against AIDS.

After Conchita Wurst’s victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014, Alice Tumler is selected to be one of the hosts of the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria, in 2015 together with Arabella Kiesbauer and Mirjam Weichselbraun.

After Eurovision, Alice Tumler decides to withdraw for the small screen. She gives birth to her second daughter in 2016 and returns to the stage only for a selection of committed international events, such as the Austrian World Summit In Vienna in 2017, organized by Arnold Schwarzenegger, or the « INDEX : Design to Improve Life Award » in Copenhagen the same year, during which she shares the stage with Princess Mary of Denmark.

In December 2017 she is invited to interview French president Emmanuel Macron in Accra, Ghana for the program “TRACE Meets Macron” – an exchange between the president and the African youth.

Public speaking coaching, personal growth and conferences

[edit]

Alice Tumler puts her TV career aside in order to commit herself to her personal projects. She develops her own coaching method “Authentic Expression by Alice Tumler”, mixing public speaking and personal growth.

She is also back on stage as a professional speaker with her favorite subject: authenticity.

Her first show, a conference with a stand-up comedy twist, is entitled “Quand je serai grande, je serai comme moi-même” (“When I grow up, I’ll be like myself.”)

Private life

Alice Tumler lives in Lyon together with her partner Francis Nyock and their two daughters Tia, born in 2011, and Lilo, born in 2016.
