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 Is For
This practice interview is for applicants who want a realistic rehearsal before their art school interview — a clear, structured way to test their preparation and speak about their work under interview conditions.
It’s designed to be used once, or maybe twice, after your preparation is complete.
It helps you experience the flow of an interview without becoming repetitive or over-practised.
It 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.
If English is not your first language, our Find Your Threads course offers deeper support
but this audio is for anyone preparing to speak confidently about their practice.
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.
