Thanks Catherine. I really appriciate it. I will post, how did it go.

: I've been on tv, film and video many, many times.
:
: Write up an outline of what YOU want to cover, along with suggested
: questions.
: Email that outline to the interviewer.
: Tell them to decide FROM THAT LIST what they think their audience
: wants to hear based on what you've sent them.
: This will save both of you endless bother and fumbling about!
:
: Arrange for them to provide you a volunteer to henna on camera (or
: bring someone)
:
: Send them some stills, or see if they can pull stills (that YOU
: choose) off the internet.
:
: Answer those questions, talking to yourself while driving around in
: the car. The more often you do this pretend conversation, the more
: smoothly the interview will go! You have to respond fast,
smoothly,
: and leave little or no dead air.
:
: Wherever it is they tell you to stare (a blue dot or some damn
thing),
: pretend it's your best friend, and talk to it as if you're both
very
: happy. BUBBLE! SPARKLE!
:
: Bring visual aids, such as a box of henna, cones, pattern books.
: Whenever possible .. SHOW rather than tell! Henna yourself or
someone
: else wonderfully. "Paste on" looks better on camera! I'd actually
: recommend going in "paste on" and scraping off the henna on camera
so
: people can see what henna does! Red, especially henna red,
actually
: looks pretty unfortunate on camera.
:
: Wear black, blue, green ... DO NOT wear red. Watch tv and see what
: looks good. Watch the show you'll be on and check the background
: color of the studio so you won't clash.
:
: Don't wear glasses if you can avoid it! Put on your own makeup,
and
: wear plenty of it. (I keep forgetting this and I look FOUL on
: camera!) Most people look better if they starve 48 hours before
going
: on camera, but to hell with that!
:
: Arrive early, and settle your nerves by hennaeing that volunteer.
: Have them videotape that. They'll stick bits of that tape here and
: there to cover glitches.
:
: Sit on your shirt and stretch your neck very long, holding your
head
: as high as possible. (Pretend you're a giraffe). This makes you
look
: vastly better!
:
: Good luck!
:
: Bear down on PPD black henna!
