How to Avoid Losing focus When Recording Interviews
Solo recording amplifies self-consciousness
When you're talking to a person, you're focused on the conversation. When you're talking to a camera, you're focused on yourself.
That shift in attention makes you hyper-aware of every pause, every stumble, every imperfect phrase.
The result is delivery that feels stiff and unnatural—not because you can't speak well, but because the context is wrong.
Why common advice doesn't address the root problem
Confidence tips miss the structural issue
This isn't about confidence. Even confident speakers struggle when there's no conversational partner to create natural rhythm.
Better equipment doesn't fix delivery
A nicer camera and microphone make your monologue look and sound better, but it's still a monologue.
Content templates don't create conversation
Following a format gives you structure but doesn't provide the dynamic questioning that makes interviews engaging.
The missing mechanism: Conversation creates clarity
Conversation isn't just about exchanging words—it's a cognitive feedback loop. When someone asks a follow-up question, your brain refines the idea in real-time.
This is why interviews feel more natural than monologues. The other person's questions give your thoughts shape and direction.
Without this mechanism, you're left guessing what's interesting, what needs more detail, and when to move on.

Olyetta isn't a chatbot or a script generator. It's an AI interviewer that creates the conversational conditions you need to speak naturally.
It listens, responds, and adapts—just like a real interviewer. But it's available whenever you are.
This is the conversational structure you've been missing, without the coordination overhead.
Adaptive questioning
Questions evolve based on your responses, creating a genuine interview experience rather than a Q&A format.
Zero scheduling friction
Record when inspiration strikes, not when calendars align. No coordination, no no-shows, no delays.
Conversational feedback loop
Get the cognitive cues you need—acknowledgment, curiosity, challenge—to maintain natural delivery.
Common scenarios
Making solo videos more engaging
Instead of talking at the camera, have a conversation that viewers can follow naturally.
Fixing awkward talking-to-camera moments
The AI gives you someone to talk with, removing the cognitive discomfort of speaking to a lens.
Practicing explanations before recording
Test how you explain complex ideas and refine your delivery before publishing.
Recording when inspiration strikes
Capture ideas immediately with conversational structure, not notes or rambling voice memos.
