Does anyone have tips on how to prepare for interviews? I do fine on panels and personal interviews. But Every time I have an on camera interview about a project where I have practiced key points to hit- I tend to blank and get over whelmed.

1) If you have any nerves or issues, always bring it up on your intro.

"I'm not used to this forum... Or Im still trying to figure out this how to zoom..."

2) have a good witty comeback when you go off the rails.

3) you might have to reorder your talking points cause your brain wants to structure it I'm a certain order that goes against how you originally planned.

if it’s a question that you’ve practiced- write out your key points. no one will fault you for looking at notes in an interview [debatable if they even see the notes on zoom but it shows you are prepared]

Aah- I guess I should have clarified. I meant a tv interview.

Why not just write a script and read it?

It guess to me it doesn’t look very natural or heartfelt when someone is reading it from a piece of paper on a news channel.

How about you do a rehearsal in full make up?

I did rehearse. But the interviewer changed and that threw me off. And I realized that it’s hard to control all external pieces. So was hoping maybe there is something I can control on my end and get more comfortable.
