Episode 53 | Interviewing Q&A | Should I Be Formal or Conversational In My Interviews?
The Art Of The InterviewShow Notes
In the same way that you speak to different people in different styles, different interviewing styles help to create safety, comfort, and intimacy on an interviewing set. In this episode, I explore how to choose the style of conversation based on three elements:
Your Interviewee
Your Audience
Your Medium
Thinking about your style in the context of these three things will help you identify whether you should use a more formal or a more casual style when doing your interviews.
