How to Prepare for Online Interviews
You can't test your messaging without an actual conversation
Saying your talking points out loud to yourself doesn't reveal where they're unclear, too technical, or unconvincing.
You need someone to react—to look confused, to ask for examples, to push back on weak points.
Without this feedback, you go into real interviews not knowing which parts of your message actually work.
Why traditional methods don't work for solo creators
Mirror practice doesn't replicate conversation
Rehearsing in front of a mirror helps with body language but doesn't create the cognitive feedback loop you need for natural flow.
Recording multiple takes wastes time
Doing 10 takes doesn't fix the fundamental issue: you're still talking to nobody. Each attempt has the same structural flaw.
Imaginary audiences don't ask questions
Pretending someone is listening doesn't give you the real-time responses that shape how you articulate ideas.
The difference between performing and conversing
When you perform, you deliver information. When you converse, you exchange ideas. The difference is profound.
Conversation creates momentum. Each response builds on the last. Performing is static—you're reciting, not discovering.
Content that feels conversational isn't acted. It's created through real-time dialogue. That requires two participants.
How Olyetta works: A structured conversation, not a script
Unlike teleprompters or note cards, Olyetta actively listens to your responses and adapts.
It asks clarifying questions, challenges assumptions, and guides the conversation toward depth—not just coverage.
The result is content that feels like a real interview, because it is one.
Dynamic questioning
Each question is based on what you just said, not a pre-written list. This creates genuine conversational flow.
Natural delivery cues
The AI gives you the feedback signals your brain needs—acknowledgment, follow-up, pacing—to maintain natural delivery.
Exportable transcripts
After recording, get a clean transcript, outline, and key hooks you can use for editing or repurposing.
