Amelia Dimoldenberg And Lauren Laverne On The Art Of The Interview
Amelia Dimoldenberg And Lauren Laverne On The Art Of The Interview |
Following two enlightening conversations – about how to break into the beauty industry with YouTube Creator NikkieTutorials and make-up artist Val Garland, and making it in music with music legend Nile Rodgers and singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama – Dimoldenberg and Laverne met to discuss their jobs as two of today's most successful interviewers. Here they swap anecdotes, career advice and reflect on how they've carved out distinctive voices and styles. |
Beginning her career in the public eye, Laverne moved into television, becoming a guest on panel shows, before finding her home in radio. "It had this brilliant intimacy," she says of its appeal. Since 2018, she has been the presenter of the legendary programme Desert Island Discs, where her recent guests have included Adele and Kate Moss. |
Dimoldenberg, meanwhile, first had the idea for her wildly popular YouTube series Chicken Shop Date – in which she takes on a deadpan persona to pose questions to musicians, actors and other well-known personalities in a chicken shop – at school. In one of Dimoldenberg's favourite and most-watched videos (which regularly amass upwards of one million views) she interviewed Louis Theroux. "He was such a hero of mine," she says, smiling. "A lot of my awkward interview style comes directly from him." | |
