How to Answer Pageant Interview Questions: Personal, Platform & Hot Topics [Part 1]

Think your pageant interview is random? It isn’t. Coach Megan reveals the first 3 of the only 7 question types judges reliably ask—what they’re really testing, the common ways contestants blow it, and simple frameworks to turn any prompt into a confident, memorable answer. Take notes and come ready to apply.

You’ll learn

• How to spot a question’s type in seconds so your brain relaxes and your answer flows.
• The #1 question category that often comes first—and how to set the tone for your entire interview.
• A story framework that beats rambling bios and resume-dumps
• A calm, authentic way to handle current events & hot topics without sounding canned
