What do you do if you're on a media show a TV program, and the host continues to interrupt you. Or if the host allows another panelist and other guests to continually talk over you, interrupt you, this is a tough situation. If it's the host, and they're used to having their own way, what I recommend is you stopped smile a little bit, don't act annoyed and miffed. Pause, then go back to the answer that you were already trying to give that related to the previous question. Let the host know without seeming petty or miffed that you're going to continue what you want to say you're not going to be interrupted. After a while they'll stop because they'll see you it's not getting them anywhere.

And if they press you, you can say I'm happy to answer this question, but I want to be respectful to your previous question, which I was trying to explain and then answer that way. Sometimes someone escalates their volume and they speak faster interrupting you counter it by speaking even a little slower, more forcefully, and it can bring them back down. Now, if you're doing anything involving politics, it's quite common and TV network shows all over the world to have the conflict, the fight producers like it, some audiences like it, you have to be the judge of how much of that you want. But if someone continues to cut you off, at some point, you are going to have to start speaking at the same time. Now this may seem rude, but if two people are speaking at the same time, it sort of cancels out and the host will be forced to say okay, you're gonna have to stop with this person go and then it'll be your turn.

So if someone continues to interrupt, I do recommend that you just start speaking so your first sentence, don't act angry. Don't Don't scream but speak as loudly as possible where you don't seem like you're yelling and hit your point. Don't worry that it's so noisy you can't even hear yourself think force the moderator, the host to do his or her job of deciding who gets to speak. Now in rare situations, there may be a host to allow someone to just attack you say all sorts of vilifying things, nasty things factually untrue things. My recommendation if you've tried these other tactics, when someone is saying something that you think is just factually untrue and unfair, do this. Shake your head now.

And what will happen is the director will see that that's good TV, and they'll now show a split screen you'll be on one side shaking your head. People will hear and see the other person attacking you. But they'll now get the message that now maybe this isn't quite right. They're seeing some Someone say this is wrong. So that's what I would do when you're being interrupted. Especially interrupted repeatedly on any kind of television or video program.
