What a great workshop! I hope that none of you guys are too overwhelmed! I just wanted to post a few points so that they are not forgotten!
1. Be mindful on how you enter the room! Most contestants think that no one can see them until they arrive at the podium. Not true... we can see you. Hold your head up and be proud. Remember to SMILE!
2. You will be standing during your interview so wear comfortable shoes, be mindful of wiggling. The podium is clear so the judges can see everything. One year I had a contestant that played with her one shoe during interview and that was all the judges noticed and remembered about that contestant.
3. It's ok to talk with your hands....within reason... keep your hands on the podium
4. Dont wear loud distracting jewelry. Sparkle should be reserved for the stage and not interview.
5. Be mindful of hem lines and neck lines. We want the judges to see us as professional, appropriate young women. They dont need to see too much of us.
6. It's ok if you dont know the answer. Come prepared with statements that help you out of a bind when you dont know. For an example; "That's a really good question, I'm afraid I'm not sure of the answer but now I'm really curious what it is"
7. Prepare a 30 second closing statment. This statement is anything that you feel you want the judges to know about you, your strengths and what makes you unique. Keep it short and appropriate. Its ok that the judges dont know that you dont have a pinky toe, they dont need to know that.
Keep these in mind and just be your perfect self and you will do wonderfully! If you have any concerns or feel like you need more practice contact me and we'll set something up!
