Hi, I'm Tom Guild, co-host and engineer for USModernist Radio. We're often asked how to prepare for coming on the shFirst and foremost, check out a few shows to get the vibe. Scroll down the list and you'll likely see people you know.
Tips for a great interview:
Our audience is the general
public, so try to avoid as much architectgure jargon as possible. We may ask
you to explain something if it's a common term.
Find a quiet spot to
speak with us. You’ll sound best if you’re in a smaller room with curtains
and carpet or other soft surfaces. Unfortunately, many incredible Modernist
interiors, with high ceilings and lots of glass make for terrible acoustics
– it sounds like you’re in a bathroom, and nobody wants to hear that.
If possible, either use your phone the old-fashioned way – held up to your
face and speaking into the built-in microphone, or wear headphones or
earbuds. Using a speakerphone can make you sound like you’re not really
“present," or worse, like you’re in the bathroom (see above).
In any
case, please don’t use a speaker to participate unless you absolutely must.
We’re trying to minimize having anything but your voice be picked up by your
microphone. It just sounds better.
Earbuds (like Apple AirPods,
etc.) are okay, but what sounds best is the wired earphone/microphone combo
that came with most smartphones up until recently. If the microphone is part
of the wires, that’s better.
Make sure your phone or other device is
charged! And if you’re on wi-fi, please stay close enough to your hub so
that you have a great signal. We’d hate to lose you in mid-interview.
Unless you hear otherwise from George, we won’t have video turned on. If
you’re joining us using Zoom or Skype, etc., turn your video off before we
start recording. It makes for a better audio connection, since there’s much
less data being sent. Besides, our crack research team already knows what
you look like, and sometimes even know what you had for breakfast this
morning…!
Finally, relax. You’re not live; it’s all being recorded.
So, if you get a little tongue-tied, you can start over again. We’ll edit it
and make you sound smart and gorgeous. Besides, George and I get
tongue-tied all the time.
