How to Prepare for Youtube Interviews
Media training requires iteration, not one-off prep sessions
Getting comfortable with interviews means practicing repeatedly until your responses feel natural.
But booking mock interviews with real people is expensive, time-consuming, and hard to schedule.
You need a way to practice on-demand, get real conversational feedback, and iterate until your delivery is sharp.
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.
Why follow-up questions unlock deeper thinking
The best insights don't come from prepared statements—they emerge when someone asks 'why?' or 'tell me more about that.'
Follow-up questions force you to articulate the reasoning behind your initial response. This is where clarity happens.
Solo recording can't replicate this. You need an active participant who responds to what you actually say.
