Most people will be flattered that you\u2019re interested in their stories. These are your loved ones, after all, they are typically tickled that you want to spend time with them. Tell them why this project is important to you. Explain what you plan to do with their memories. Assure them you will not record anything they\u2019re not comfortable sharing. And let them know how long this interview session will last &#8212; two hours is probably the maximum. You can always schedule additional interviews.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][mk_page_section layout_structure=&#8221;half_left&#8221; bg_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.circalegacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/adobestock_134453665web.jpg&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;50&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573574067640{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff9469;\"><em>Where<\/em><\/span><b> to Interview Someone<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The best interviews are conducted in your loved one\u2019s home. That\u2019s where they\u2019ll be most comfortable and at ease, and able to concentrate on the questions you\u2019re asking. It\u2019s also helpful if they can bring out their collection of photos and memorabilia to help jog their memories, look for details and share what\u2019s important to them. Ask if you can conduct the interview in their home.<\/p>\n<p>If their home isn\u2019t an option, see if you could meet at a relative\u2019s home. Another option would be to reserve a private room at a local library or coffee shop.

There are so many ways you can go with your interview. Our best advice is to start with what\u2019s most important to record. Are there certain stories or memories you really love and want to hear? Is there a time of their life you\u2019re interested in? Are there unanswered questions you\u2019ve always wanted to ask? Let your priority stories guide your interview.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s best to write down at least a few questions to get your interview started. If you\u2019re a more casual interviewer, you may enjoy a less structured interview and more of a conversation. If there\u2019s a lot of information you want to ask about, you\u2019ll need to keep your interviewee on task with a list of questions.<\/p>\n<p>Read our <a href=\"\/resources\">200+ Interview Questions<\/a> guide to help you plan your interview.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;639&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving&#8221; parallax_image=&#8221;109&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572397256495{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-position: 0 0;background-repeat:-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573574149976{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff9469;\"><em>How <\/em><\/span><b>to Record an Interview<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re a fast typer, we recommend recording your interview so you can concentrate on the conversation, and not writing down responses.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways to record your interview.

This should be a fun experience for you and the person you\u2019re interviewing. Unlike interviewing a stranger, your interviewees already trust and like you.

Then start the recorder and set it aside so it isn\u2019t staring them in the face and making them nervous. The recorder is the thing that freaks people out. It suddenly makes what you\u2019re doing seem much more formal and serious. So don\u2019t keep looking at the recorder.

Some people will love hearing this, others will be embarrassed or humble about it, but it\u2019s a good way to show them that you really are interested.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572399808014{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1572397860880{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Now, bring out your interview questions and <span style=\"color: #ff9469;\"><em>get to work<\/em><\/span>.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Smile a lot.

If they\u2019re in the middle of a story and you hear something interesting and want to learn more, don\u2019t interrupt them to ask your question.
