Step 1
Find a quiet spot and sit with your paper and pen ready.
Step 2
Write five quick facts about yourself on the paper like your name school hobby and a strength.
Step 3
Write a short personal script of two to four sentences using those facts.
Step 4
Write a clear strong opening line at the top of your script such as "Hi I'm..." or "Hello my name is..."
Step 5
Say your full script aloud slowly one time.
Step 6
Practice your opening line three times in front of a mirror while looking at yourself.
Step 7
Do a quick voice warm-up by humming for five seconds and then saying your opening line once more.

Ask your friend for one thing you did well and one thing to improve and listen carefully.

Change one thing in your script or how you say it based on the feedback and write that change down.

Help!?
What can we use instead of paper and pen if we don't have them?
Use a tablet or smartphone notes app or a small whiteboard to write your five quick facts and two-to-four-sentence script if you don't have paper and pen.
What should I do if I forget my script during the mock interview with a friend?
If you forget your script during the mock interview, keep an index card with your five quick facts and your clear opening line in hand, pause to glance at it, and use the five-second humming warm-up to calm your voice before continuing.
How can this activity be adapted for different ages?
For younger kids, cut 'five quick facts' to two, make the script one sentence and use a parent or stuffed animal as the friend interviewer, while older kids can add achievements, practice in front of the mirror, record themselves, and post the revised version to DIY.org.
How can we extend or personalize the practice beyond the basic steps?
To enhance the activity, time your final revised script with a stopwatch, bring in a prop that matches a hobby from your facts, record both the mirror practice and the friend interview to compare feedback-based changes, then share the best take on DIY.org.
