How to Prepare for Director 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.
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.
