| Are you ready to dramatically boost your pageant interview scores, but don't know how to get started? |
Are you entering your first pageant and want to ace your pageant interview? Have you entered a pageant before, but felt that your pageant interview fell a little bit short? Do you want to regularly place as a Semi-Finalist or Finalist, but don't know what to do to get there? Do you need to take your pageant interview skills to the next level, but just don't happen to have a pageant interview coach living in yourbackyard?
The ability to easily and confidently handle pageant interview questions is the key to becoming a top contestant.
Now when I'm talking about your pageant interview, I'm not just talking about answering questions about your favorite color or movie. You need to be able to handle questions about: |
Your Contestant Bio
Your Pageant Platform
Current Events
Controversial Topics
Your ability to be an effective titleholder
|
You just can't ace your pageant interview if you don't have the confidence and skills to handle the judge's questions. We've all been to pageants where the contestant who is absolutely stunning on-stage doesn't win or even make the Top Five. Her pageant interview was probably the problem. The pageant interview is your first chance to really impress the judges and establish yourself as a serious contender for the title. If you want to be a top pageant contestant you need a pageant interview that rocks!
I'm Valerie Hayes, one of the most sought after pageant interview coaches in pageantry. (You may have seen me on MTV in the #1 rated episode of MADE coaching a contestant for her pageant interview. It's even been aired in Russia and, I must say, I sound even more interesting dubbed in Russian!) How did I get to be an expert on interviewing? Well, I have over 20 years of experience coaching Fortune 500 executives on interviewing and communication skills.
So how does that relate to coaching pageant interviews? Well, several years ago I started coaching pageant contestants, teaching them the same interview techniques and communication strategies I perfected while in corporate America. (See the About Us page for the full story!) Now I coach pageant contestants full-time and I've never had more fun! Pageant contestants are some of the brightest, motivated women I know. I love helping them to develop their public speaking skills and unique pageant interview style!
The ability to answer pageant questions during your personal and on-stage interview is a skill that will not only boost your pageant score, but it's a skill that will last a lifetime. My students have used their new public speaking and interview skills to improve their performance at school, in their careers, and in their volunteer activities. I have students who have aced acting auditions, landed broadcastings jobs, and effectively dealt with business associates or clients using the techniques and tips learned for their pageant interview.
Whether you are a pageant beginner or an experienced contestant, the skills and techniques I teach combined with my helpful tips and suggestions will pack a one-two punch that can massively improve your pageant interview scores.

What Others Say About The Pageant Interview Coach |

Thanks to Valerie's training I was able to feel confident for the first time about my ability to handle the personal interview and on-stage question in a pageant! For Mrs. International, Valerie re-worked my platform, taught me the skills necessary to effectively answer all types of questions, and showed me how to let my personality shine during the interview, and I even did most of my training on the phone! Not only did I win the personal interview, I went on to win the title! This was the first time I really felt prepared to compete at that level. As far as I'm concerned, Valerie's the best! |

I just love working with Valerie on my pageant interview! I've been working with her for over four years and I learn something new every time I go in for a lesson. Not only do I learn new skills and things about current events, but she makes it fun and motivates me to do my very best. The skills she taught me have helped me when giving presentations at school, getting my first job, and in my volunteer work at the hospital. And I don't think I would have won the title without her help on my pageant interview!! I definitely recommend Valerie and plan to continue working with her as long as I'm competing in pageants! |

Valerie's coaching and assistance preparing for pageants has been fabulous! The minute I met her I could tell that she really understood the areas where I needed to improve and that she was genuinely committed to helping me reach my pageant goals. Valerie has not only helped me to prepare for pageants, but her tips and techniques have helped me in the business world every day. My public speaking skills are increasing, and I can do it with confidence. Thanks for helping me to continue to bridge my life to a new level! |

Thanks to Valerie I was ready for my interview at Miss Teen America! Valerie really helped me to develop my own interview style and to be prepared for all types of questions from the judging panel. Without Valerie's help I would not have felt nearly as well prepared or have done so well. I really appreciate all of her coaching and don't plan to compete without her in my corner! |
