Press Interview Practice Questions

The Problem

Scripted answers fall apart under follow-up questions

You can memorize perfect responses to expected questions. But the moment someone asks 'why?' or 'can you elaborate?', the script breaks down.

Real interviews don't follow your outline. They follow the natural flow of conversation—which means unpredictability.

Practicing with static questions doesn't prepare you for the moment when you have to think and respond in real-time.

Why Current Solutions Fail

Why the usual approaches fail

Static prompts don't adapt

A list of questions can't respond to what you actually say. They don't dig deeper or change direction based on your answers.

Talking to yourself has no feedback loop

Your brain needs conversational cues—questions, acknowledgments, follow-ups—to maintain natural delivery.

Video editing can't fix structural problems

You can cut out rambling, but you can't edit in the conversational rhythm that should have been there from the start.

Understanding the Solution

The cognitive science behind conversational delivery

Your brain is wired for dialogue, not monologue. When you speak, you subconsciously look for signals—nods, questions, facial expressions—to calibrate your delivery.

Without these signals, your pacing falters. You lose the natural emphasis and pauses that make speech engaging.

This isn't a skill issue. It's a neurological reality. You need conversational feedback to maintain natural delivery.

How Olyetta Works

Olyetta turns monologues into conversations

The difference between engaging content and forgettable content is simple: conversation vs. monologue.

Olyetta creates the conversational environment where your ideas can unfold naturally, with follow-ups, clarifications, and depth.

This is how you record content that people actually want to watch—by having someone to talk with, not at.

Intelligent follow-up system

When you mention something interesting, Olyetta asks about it. When you're unclear, it pushes for clarity.

Pacing and rhythm control

The AI manages conversational tempo—knowing when to dig deeper and when to transition—so you stay focused.

Practice without pressure (or with it)

Use friendly mode for content creation or drill mode to stress-test your messaging under tough questioning.
