One thing I've found when speaking in that situation (I've done a bit of radio work, plus a small spot on TV, plus loads of public speaking - small conference style), is to have an outline, it helps you keep the "Umm"s down, I noticed a lot of them. Also saw you mild jitters just at the start, but other than that, great job!

1190414 2011-03-31 18:51:00 The other woman didn't seem to know anything :p

In her defence, while she didn't know what dual-core meant, she knew more than she let on. It's her job to act like she doesn't know anything so I can come across as the "expert" :P Like when she asked what you use a tablet for, that's because prior to the interview I told them I wanted to talk about what a tablet is actually good for. She isn't a tech journo though, she's a music TV presenter, so we can't expect her to understand processors!

I did actually have an outline, and a lot of what I said I had rehearsed earlier that day. Actually what I had rehearsed I mostly said toward the start and when we went to the break and they wanted to continue it into another segment I was a little anxious because I hadn't planned on saying much else, but we sorted out what we were going to talk about before going on air and funnily enough I think I came across better in the second half! I just think it's going to take time to be more comfortable in front of the camera.

OK, "reduntifying" is not a real word, I meant reduntantanising.

1190416 2011-04-01 02:02:00 Were you nervous doing the interview on TV? QW. (15883)
1190417 2011-04-01 02:48:00 Yes. Very. I wasn't as nervous when I was actually doing it as I was beforehand though, especially once I got into the swing of it. Siobhan Keogh (16063)
1190418 2011-04-01 03:30:00 You seemed more calm and at-ease than the other woman, so you did great! :) Chilling_Silence (9)
1190419 2011-04-01 23:42:00 Are you on a panic delay or whatever it's called (time for someone to hit the "what the **** she saying" button) before hitting the air waves? If so, how did you cope with it? I recall for a dare doing a live news reading on Hauraki when they were first land based. I couldn't get past the first 20 seconds because through an open door, I could hear myself delayed. Because I wasn't expecting it, it was decidedly unnerving. Did you have the same thing or was it in real time? WalOne (4202)
1190420 2011-04-03 20:37:00 I don't think so, but the volume was down on every TV so I couldn't hear myself back. I don't know whether the TVs were playing a feed of what we were doing in real time though or what was going on air. Siobhan Keogh (16063)

Trus me, hearing your self on the mic makes it hard to talk.
