Look interested and benevolent and listen carefully. The better you master the situation and the matter, the better you will be able to listen. Try to look fresh. Wipe off sweat. Ask not to be portrayed too close. A shoulder shot is the most elegant. Stand up and stand still. If you don't know what to do with your hands, pin them down somewhere. Usually they do not appear, but if you move them too much, your whole body moves with it. It often helps if you have someone there who is watching you. The cameraman pays attention to the image, the journalist to the content, the sound engineer to the sound. Usually nobody is concerned with how you appear. If the camera, sound or journalist thinks it's okay, that says nothing about your performance or what you looked like. Having someone there who is there for you can make a world of difference.
