Journalist Interview Practice Questions
Media training requires iteration, not one-off prep sessions
Getting comfortable with interviews means practicing repeatedly until your responses feel natural.
But booking mock interviews with real people is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to schedule.
You need a way to practice on-demand, get real conversational feedback, and iterate until your delivery is sharp.
Why the usual approaches fail
Static prompts don't adapt
A list of questions can't respond to what you actually say. They don't dig deeper or change direction based on your answers.
Talking to yourself has no feedback loop
Your brain needs conversational cues—questions, acknowledgments, follow-ups—to maintain natural delivery.
Video editing can't fix structural problems
You can cut out rambling, but you can't edit in the conversational rhythm that should have been there from the start.
Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking
The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'
Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.
Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.
Olyetta gives you a co-host, on-demand
Instead of waiting for someone else's schedule, you have a conversation partner available whenever you're ready to record.
It doesn't replace human interviewers—it removes the dependency on their availability.
