Remove clutter - get rid of the 'hello's and how are you's', remove repeated content, shorten questions and drop dull answers.

Think listener and not interviewee - always create an interview that provides a reason for your listener to keep listening - take them on a journey.

Edit right away and use your interview cue sheet to help you along the way.
