Showing up with a microphone can make a lot of people nervous - even the best of talkers. Have you ever felt like you walked away from an interview and didn’t get to the heart of the story? That you didn’t get past what was rehearsed in a mirror, before you got there?

In this 2-hour workshop, you'll learn some practical tips for getting intimate and compelling tape. The kind of answers that make people pause and think. That give nuance to a topic you might have already heard a lot about. And help bring a story to life, beyond a talking head. We’ll explore techniques in a hands-on way and learn how to make interviewing less intimidating – both to you and the person you’re talking to.

We highly recommend this workshop for audio beginners.
