Anderson Cooper 360°

Back in the day, my first impression of Anderson was he had no idea how to structure an interview or how to ask questions.

He always seemed reluctant to ask follow up questions and push the conversation.

His speech also trails off as he approaches the end of a sentence or question.

Questions should NOT be speeches. You will lose your audience and cause the interviewee to become more defensive and cautious Speaking, whether in front of a live audience or a live microphone is ALL about maintaining tone, sound modulation and breathing. Anderson has yet to learn that. He mumbles ALOT. Voiceis a problem with most of the talking heads on TV. They ALL need voice coaches, and off screen practice.
