| 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 your backyard?
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 Coach™ |

"When I first started competing in pageants, I was a shy young girl unable to communicate. On the advice of a family friend, my Mom scheduled an appointment with Valerie Hayes and she took that shy young girl and turned her into a Miss Texas USA! Not only did she teach me how to answer questions, but she helped me to develop my own personal interview and public speaking style that reflects my personality. Valerie’s coaching is different because she adjusts her teaching approach to the natural learning style of each student. And not only is Valerie the best at what she does, but she’s also a great friend! I would not have achieved this level of pageant success without the help of Valerie Hayes!" |

“Valerie's interview preparation made all the difference in my quest to become Mrs. International 2008. Her guidance was invaluable, her methods amazing, and her technique by far the best in the business. Her phone training gave me the confidence I needed to not only be myself in the interview room, but to be my very best self. I was so honored to win the overall interview award amongst such an incredible group of elite pageant contestants, and I know that Valerie's preparation made that possible. She is truly THE interview coach!” |

“Valerie Hayes, the Pageant Coach™, provides an extraordinary amount of wealth in preparation for the interview portion of pageantry. Her 501 Perfect Practice Pageant Questions e-book was a staple for me in my preparations, allowing me to explore my opinions with a variety of topics; to be an informed and communicative individual. I really enjoyed listening to her teleseminars because the topics were engaging and encouraging for me as a pageant contestant, winner, and woman. Thank you Valerie for your interview assistance!” |

“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!” |
Suzy Bootz, Mrs. International 2006 |
