Interview Techniques & How to sound clear in a radio station.

Planning for an interview:

Timing:  There must be enough time for the interview where the interviewer can take time to write notes between each question.

Questions: You must have questions that links to what you are interviewing them about. It should not trail into a different topic, as it will be unnecessary and waste of time.

Venue: The place where the interview is taking place must be of an appropriate size and it should encourage the interviewee’s concentration. It should be comfortable for both the interviewer and interviewee. A suitable place where there is less noise and distractions.

You should treat the interviewee with respect at all times.
You should ask the most important questions first and move on to the least important ones.
Try to ask a minimum of 3 to 4 questions to keep it short and simple.

How the Interview should be structured:

The opening- Include introduction and a few minutes of small talk to relax the interviewee. 

The body: This is the main part of the interview where the questions should be asked.

The close: The interviewee should be given time for any questions they may have.

Sounding clear in a radio interview:

Speak in a loud and clear voice so the interviewee can hear what you are saying and understand it so they can answer the question promptly.
The type of language you should use must be understood by your target audience for example if it was for teenagers you should be using words that they would understand not something they wouldn't understand.
