you gotta let the conversation flow more and be less structured. transitions between topics are rlly awkward. also dont set yourself up to get answers you dont know how to respond to bc the filler responses like "cool" and "alright" are unsatisfying. you shouldnt just aim for answers to your questions; you want to nudge your guests into sharing as much info as possible and keep a fluid convo going
Something I learned from my video journalism class is to not pose them as questions. Say stuff like," so tell me about this" or something, and it makes it so it's not a straight on answer.
And yeah, just letting the Convo flow a bit. You can try to steer the conversation towards another question you have.
I think you did awesome for your first time tho, just comes with practice
I really appreciate the feedback. looking back on the recording youre right it was a bit too robotic. Ive never really done the interviewer thing so Ill def keep this in mind in the future
