Awkward interview!

Post Reply New Topic

1 year ago i was given the job of editing some interview material which was carried out and recorded by this guy who is 20 with seveare AS who was very loud and extremely ecentric becasue he does a lot of work in theatre.

for his assigment he was given the task of interviewing the Titfiled Thunderbolt play/group (they are a team who do a lot of performances around England where I live). When editing and listening to the interview some of the members of the theatre group seemed embarrased and kinda laughing at AS guys voice (because he talks like a 1950's radio presenter). I noticed one member of the play who was a guy seemed annoyed and very grumpy with him when being interviewed.

Why do you think the group member was grumpy and quite impatient with the guy with AS?

For one thing, when someone gets on a stage in front of people there's always at least one person who laughs. Something about wanting to be the center of attention elicits laughter from certain characters.
It's hard to say why the guy was irritated at the man with AS without a full write up on his personality. Maybe, the guy is always grumpy? Maybe he had an itch in a place he dare not scratch in public? He could have been hungry. Or tired. Maybe he didn't get to wear the outfit he wanted that day?
Or, it could be something he heard about the man with AS that he didn't like.
He could have just had a fight with his girlfriend or dad, too.

Yeah but when i say this guy with AS is ecentric I mean VERY ecentric. I personally think its more than likely the guy was really angry with the AS man because he was acting very oddly in the interview.

He also sounded like quite angry and agressive towards the AS by his tone of voice in the radio interview.

Not very nice or proffesioanl but maybe the mannerisims of the AS man kind of caught him by suprise and made him feel on edge and uncoumftable.

Do you know what the AS man was doing that was so eccentric during the interview? Anything besides his tone of voice that was odd?
It does sound like the guy conducting the interview might have been uncomfortable, but we don't the reason for that discomfort.

Well the guy with AS talks like a squeaky duck. it could be mostly down to the tone of his voice although that said he does have very weird mannerisms like sometimes dancing in public, talking to himself in public and many more and just says inappropriate things a lot of the time which on top of him talking weirdly just amplifies his problems. My memory is kinda blurry in regards to the interview but i think as well as talking oddly i think he might have said a few inappropriate things.

I have mentioned this before but nearly 2 years ago in college he remarked to this white women who had a mixed race baby "Why has your baby got a dirty face". See what i mean

Maybe the interviewer was worried what the man with AS was going to say.

Yeah i could imagine as well it must be a real pain taking time out of your schedule to do an interview only to find out the interviewee is crazy. He could have thought him and his group were being set up in a joke interview or whatever?
