So, I'm writing a small article for a start-up magazine and for it, I'm hoping to interview someone.
This chap and I got chatting on Twitter and to clarify some details he said me for to ring him. I thought, maybe I could delay it till tomorrow but I thought "Fk this", just do it!
So I did. He talked alot, over me at times (didn't mean to but it was the subject topic that got him so passionate) but I didn't contribute much to the discussion or show any vociforus support or appreciation.
I tried to make notes and listen whilst saying "Yes" or Yeah just to let him know I was listening but I wished I could have been more relaxed and more engaged.
It was probably because I was worried incase someone in the house heard me on the phone and their ears might have pricked up to enquire to whom I was chatting to etc.
How do you feel relaxed and natural whilst talking to someone you don't know?
