For all the different types of interviews, it is essential that you know what you want to say and spend some time getting your messages clear in your mind. Because of the time restriction and pressure of giving media interviews, try to restrict yourself to three main messages, removing all extraneous and unwanted material so you are left with a headline sentence or 'sound-bite' for each message. A sound bite is a quotable quote: brief, self-contained, phrased in everyday language, and should be colourful or metaphorical, passionate or energetic. Being roughly five seconds long, it will need to be clear, concise and punchy. Copyright © 2003 Impact Factory. All rights reserved.

What is interesting here is thinking your way into the listener's way of hearing. For instance, one of the ways of getting a listener's attention is to say 'you!' which to them means 'me'. By using the word 'you' you make the audience feel personally involved, they feel that you are speaking directly to them. The use of the word 'you' can also encourage a listener to see the problem from your perspective, thereby deflecting or putting into perspective some of the negative feelings the interviewer may be directing towards you.

That individual is of average intelligence, but not necessarily knowledgeable or particularly interested in your subject. Try to engage that individual by talking about your subject in a way that they will understand and enjoy. Using graphic descriptions, and colourful examples, will bring a subject to life and make it more attractive. Copyright © 2003 Impact Factory. All rights reserved.

Media audiences are quite passive, have short attention spans and have much else going on around them, which is distracting. It is easy for them to instantly forget both you and anything you may have said. Having a strong and concise final message, delivered with passion and conviction, will help create the lasting impression you require. It is often worth placing or reiterating your most important message at the end, as this will be what the audience is most likely to remember after the interview has finished.
