Paradigm Shift
A sample interview from a program about natural health and alternative
medicine. I've been a television host, producer, and writer for years
and would delight in bringing my interviewing skills to public radio,
where I've announced before. I always love a good conversation.
I enjoyed you're voice, pace works for me, and thanks for incorporating an interview into your "talk" show segment, it demonstrates your interview skills -- good work and good luck to you.
Subject 5 star. Voice and pace 3 star.
Hi great TV / TV morning voice. You have a great power every-voice, but radio calls for a distinguishing voice because it's the only way I'm going to know you. Not enough "quirk". But good luck, after all, who am I?
Confusious Says rate a clip with some stars every day and you will always have a guiding star at night.
The piece worked well enough for me to want to hear the next segment with the MD from GWU.
We can never have too many shows regarding alternative medicine. I enjoyed the clip.
I like your warm, compassionate, intelligent voice.
I, too, was troubled by the pacing. It sounds like you edited out all the breathing. (No one stops to inhale.)Perhaps that was so you could fit the entry in the two-minute shoe.
Yes, the piece was edited to fit into the two-minute limit, and that makes the pace feel much more rushed than it should be. I'm in agreement and wish I could rerecord it, but hindsight is 20/20, as they say.
...is that the folks who make it happen are a bright bunch. I'll bet the judges have the wisdom to hear past this. Best of luck to you!
Portland,
This gave me your interview sound and your announcing sound, but not a hint of you the person behind the voice, and that's a shame.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” I believe the same thing should be said about thinking.
You have great hosting skills and ask great questions. The problem was the pace of your segemnt. I'm not sure it was intentional, but the story seemed rushed. Settle your pace so the audience would know what's going on.
I completely agree with you. I had a certain questions I wanted to ask in order to allow this woman's story to be told (in part), and her answers combined with my questions didn't really fit into the two-minute time limit. So the piece was edited and that makes it feel rushed, I agree. Were I to do it again, maybe I'd just ask two or three questions and not worry if only a small part of her story came out -- allow the piece to breathe more, which is the way I conduct interviews anyway. My interviews are never that fast-paced in reality and shouldn't be, especially for public radio. Agreed -- I was trying to fit too much into 2 minutes.
