This seminar will focus on the art of the interview: How to prepare for and conduct interviews and enjoy the process. It is designed to assist anyone with a creative project, documentary, product or service to promote. Interviews are really just engaging conversations. What makes them great and surprising? Insightful? Provocative? Conversely, what propels them to be boring, predictable and flat? We will screen and evaluate clips of classic celebrity interviewers and online webisodes. Participants will conduct an interview and be interviewed, and both will be recorded and critiqued. In addition, mock panels will be created to provide a group discussion environment. Body language, vocal technique and how to shape a message and engage an audience will all be explored.
