Archibald Deactivated User Searching For A Gentleman From Arizona 57 Posts 8/06	Posted - Feb 18 2007 : 7:42PM Hey Skronker, Great interview with Steve Hirsch. Interviewing producers and company owners is a great change of pace (I'm still waiting for you to interview Drew and/or Steph). Anyway, I don't mean to complain or slam you, but why does every question you ask include "you know" and "um" after about every third or fourth word? Seriously, I don't mean to bust your nuts but after a while I don't hear the questions, just the repetition. Again, great piece and very informative. [Link]

astroknight Questionable Moderator Tastes so good... 4187 Posts 11/99	Posted - Feb 19 2007 : 8:47AM If you're doing it on the fly without notes or anything else for the questions, odds are you're going to be "um-ing" and "you know-ing". There's a couple of my interviews that went that way, and even after I got in the groove of doing them I could see one heck of a difference between notes and not when I listened back at them to transcribe them.

Ejac Deactivated User 851 Posts 9/04	Posted - Feb 19 2007 : 9:38AM Written and verbal communication are two different art forms. Both take pratice, but to really be accomplished in one, sometimes the other takes a back seat. In other cases, sometimes ums are indicative of deep thought. Or it can be nerves. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8010 Posts 9/99	Posted - Feb 19 2007 : 10:15AM IMO skronker is really good at these things. He makes them conversational and lets them go where the interview subject takes them. (Sometimes the person being interviewed doesn't have much to say.) BTW, we don't transcribe the interviews. That's far too much effort. [Link]

People loved it, as it was probably his only endearing trait. [Link]

Click to expand I used to do it a lot in answering questions, but I wasn't really aware of HOW much I did it until I listened to one of my taped interviews. Once I became aware, I practiced just pausing while thinking of what to say, rather than just filling the dead space with ummmmmmm....... Now I still say ummm sometimes, but it's a heck of a lot less than I used to. :) I do like Skronker's variety of questions, but I have to side with Archibald's comments about the ummms being a little distracting.

modano Member 316 Posts 12/05	Posted - Feb 19 2007 : 1:53PM "umm" "like" "you know what I'm sayin' " A lot of Americans seem to be able to make a lot of noise and sentences with those three lines. :P On the other hand I listened to 3 interviews today and I didn't notice what Archibald noticed about Skronker. Interviews were good and interesting, keep em coming! [Link]
