🎙 Your Guide to Conducting a Great Interview
Preserving your story should be a comfortable and meaningful experience. Here are a few simple dos and don’ts to help you prepare for a smooth and enjoyable interview.
✅ DOs: How to make your interview a success
1. Find a quiet and comfortable space
Choose a quiet room with minimal background noise – the microphone is very sensitive and can the faintest sounds. I will help you choose the best space in your home.
Soft furnishings (rugs, curtains, bookshelves) help absorb sound and make your voice clearer.
2. Relax and be yourself
This is your story, your message —there is no right or wrong way to tell it.
Imagine you’re chatting with a friend over coffee. Jokes are also very welcome!
3. Speak naturally and take your time
Pause when needed. We can always edit later!
If you forget something, no problem—you can always go back and add details.
4. Focus on meaningful moments
Think about pivotal moments in your life—childhood, relationships, travels, challenges, achievements.
Small details make stories richer—describe places, people, and emotions. We want to grasp what makes you and your story unique!
5. Keep a few notes (but don’t overprepare)
Write down key topics, events or messages you’d like to cover.
No need for a script—spontaneity makes stories feel alive.
❌ DON’Ts: Common Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Don’t worry about perfection
It’s not a performance—mistakes, pauses, and laughter make your story authentic.
2. Don’t rush through your story
Give yourself time to reflect—silence is okay; it adds depth.
3. Don’t overthink It
You don’t need to cover everything in one go—we can always add more later.
4. Don’t forget to enjoy the process!
Sharing your story should be a joyful and rewarding experience. I will make the moment as enjoyable as possible for you, promise!
💡 Final tip: Treat this as a gift to future generations. Your voice, memories, and wisdom will be cherished for years to come.
