PREPARING FOR THE INTERVIEW
While the podcast interview itself is an audio interview, we record both audio and video, which is done via Ecamm Interview. To record, you will need either a computer, smartphone, or tablet that can be used with headphones, a microphone, and a webcam. At the same time of your meeting, click on the link in your invitation to join via computer.
If you have questions about how to join, please visit this Get Ready Page from Torah Tech Guy.
INTERVIEW FLOW
- Audio/Video Check
Welcome!! Before we can officially begin to record, we'll need to take a few minutes to check on your audio and video. During this time, I'll be adjusting the incoming video and audio so that we can get the best output for YouTube and the podcast. This should only take 5-10 minutes. The podcast interview will be strictly audio. The video portion of our conversation will be used for social media and our YouTube channel.
NOTE: I'll record the Preview/Introduction and Episode Wrap-up separately after our interview.
- Chasing Dreams Shoutout
As a thank you to our listeners, I share a separate 5-10 minute intimate conversation with you that we'll record before we begin the podcast interview. These are a few shorter, more personal questions and a rapid fire game of “This or That.” This isn't meant to be a heavy conversation, but it shows you are a regular person like our listeners. It will also set the tone for our podcast interview. Relaxed. =)
- Chasing Dreams Shoutout
I will have you record a one-line intro for the episode used for your episode and in some potential future recordings. Here are some options of what you may say:
“This is [your name] <short descriptor of your choosing>, and you’re listening to the Chasing Dreams with Aimee J.”
Short Descriptor: This can be anything you like, “author of X book” or “host of the YZ podcast”, etc. Have fun with it.
- Story Time
Time to share the story behind your dream chase, where we will answer the following:
- What is your favorite quote?
- What obstacles were in your path?
- How did you overcome your obstacles?
- What lesson have you learned that you think a dream chaser should know?
- If you had more than one dream, I’d like to talk about that. Did you chase it simultaneously or sequentially, some other way, or not at all?
- Your Corner
- What is one action you would recommend a dream chaser take today?
- Any last things you want to share with the audience?
- How can our listeners connect with you?
Things to Keep in Mind:
- If you have any trouble logging into Ecamm Interview, please let me know at aimee@aimeej21.com or text me on my cell. The number is in the invite.
- The interview is a combination of audio + video.
- Please use a quality microphone so that we can capture the best sound we can. That being said, if you can only use Apple headphones with a mic, then that’s all you can use. No worries. =)
- Please be in a quiet environment when you take the call and do your best to minimize little movements (crinkling paper, typing, rustling sounds, tapping a desk, etc.) that can be picked up during the recording. Even something as small as the microphone on headphones hitting your clothes can be picked up.
- This is a family-friendly podcast; please refrain from cursing or using offensive language.
- If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Finally, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for being so willing to share your story and know-how with my listeners. =)
