Don't forget to prepare for a pre-interview! Producers use pre-interviews as the deciding factor whether or not to book you or your client.

This interview is usually done over the phone, between you or your client and the producer. It's important that you prep yourself or your client to land the booking. This is the producer's chance to make sure you are articulate and know your material. They don't want someone to bomb on their show, so this is a necessary step in the booking process. Make sure you're prepared!

Know the show, know your subject matter, be awake, pay attention, and be engaging. You can't afford to blow this one off!
