How Often to Use It
The first time you listen, you’ll experience the true element of surprise — you won’t know which question is coming next, just like in a real interview. That’s intentional.
If you want to use the audio again, leave several days between sessions.
Spacing your practice gives your subconscious time to find clearer, more confident ways to express your ideas.
For ideal preparation, you might use this rehearsal once a week in the lead-up to your interview.
Who This Interview Practice Is For
Whether you’re applying to an art or design school in the UK, the USA, or to any European programme using English-medium teaching, the English required for a successful art school interview is remarkably consistent.
Admissions teams want to hear clear, confident English that can express ideas, explain influences, describe materials and methods, and show the conceptual maturity expected in the first year of an art and design degree.
Our practice interview strengthens exactly this kind of English for Art and Design — the reflective, studio-focused language that proves you are ready to think, communicate, and participate fully in an English-taught creative programme.
Our Free audio supports anyone preparing for an art school interview, whether English is your first language or not.
Everyone needs to rehearse their true voice for interviews — not just second-language users.
Speaking clearly about your work is a universal skill.
What This Practice Interview Can Change for You
From thinking quietly → to speaking with clarity
This rehearsal moves you from silent preparation into real spoken practice, where confidence and flow actually develop.
From fear of the unknown → to familiarity with interview rhythm
Because you don’t know which question is coming next, you experience the true pace and unpredictability of a real interview — and it becomes far less intimidating.
From scattered ideas → to a steady narrative about your work
Speaking your answers aloud helps you discover what feels strong and where you want to refine, creating a more coherent, grounded story about your practice.
From pressure and self-doubt → to grounded presence
The affirmations between questions help you return to yourself, steady your breath, and speak in your real, thoughtful voice.
From over-rehearsed → to confident spontaneity
Interviews require responding in the moment.
This warm-up helps you practise spontaneous expression, without scripts or memorising.
