How to Prepare for Workshop 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 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.
