Useful Interview Tips


Don’t rush your radio interview
  • You will trip up over your words
  • You will um and err
  • You will ramble on and on………….
Tips for sounding clear in your radio interview
  • Speak in short sentences – one thought per sentence.
  • Take time over the first three words of the sentence – so that you don’t rush into the sentence.
  • Don’t rush any syllables – make sure each syllable in the word is pronounced.
Listen to the radio interviewer – don’t panic!
  • Use the time to focus on what the presenter is saying before he/she gets to your interview. 
  • You may pick up on some useful information or background context to the interview topic.
  • this will help you responsed to the answers given to you.
Contolling nerves in your radio interview
  • Don’t butt in to the question – wait for the presenter to finish asking the question before you respond
  • Focus on understanding the question, rather than rehearsing your response in your head
Keep your radio interviews interesting to your audience!
  • Telling a story – if you imagine each of your responses are a short story – this will automatically inject more energy and expression into your voice
  • Emphasise important words – these are the key words that make up the essence of your sentences and will help you to sound more convincing
  • Smile – when you smile your voice smiles and it comes across more appealing and personable to the listeners.
