How to Prepare for Press Interviews

The Problem

Mock interviews need unpredictability to be useful

Practicing with a list of questions you wrote yourself defeats the purpose. You already know what's coming.

Real interviews have unexpected angles, tough follow-ups, and moments where you have to think on your feet.

To actually improve, you need something that reacts to what you say—not a static script.

Why Current Solutions Fail

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.

Understanding the Solution

What makes interviews work: The feedback loop

Good interviews don't follow a script—they follow a structure created by real-time response.

Each answer leads to a new question. Each question sharpens the next response. This loop is what makes content feel alive.

When you record solo, this loop is missing. Olyetta restores it.

How Olyetta Works

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.

Whether you're preparing for a real interview or creating content solo, Olyetta provides the conversational structure you need.

Record without coordination

No more booking guests or waiting for co-hosts. Start recording the moment inspiration strikes.

Practice with realistic pressure

Use it for media training, founder interview prep, or testing your messaging before going live.

Consistent conversational quality

Every recording has the structure and rhythm of a real interview, not a solo monologue.
