How to Prepare for TV Interviews
Practice doesn't work without real conversational pressure
Rehearsing answers in your head or reading from a script doesn't prepare you for the dynamic nature of real interviews.
You need someone to ask follow-ups, challenge your phrasing, and force you to articulate ideas clearly under pressure.
Without this, you're practicing performance—not conversation. And interviews are conversations.
The problem with current workarounds
Pre-written scripts sound rehearsed
Even well-written scripts feel like presentations, not conversations. The natural rhythm is missing.
Recording alone forces monologues
Without someone to respond to your points, you lose the dynamic pacing that keeps viewers engaged.
Booking guests or co-hosts kills momentum
By the time you coordinate schedules, the moment of inspiration is gone. You end up not recording at all.
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.
