Quando um repórter faz perguntinhas de "aquecimento" antes de gravar uma entrevista, o objetivo é simples: entender o perfil da fonte. Se é extrovertida... Se fala pouco... Aí, o profissional ajusta sua abordagem, buscando se expressar na mesma língua do personagem. Deixá-lo mais confortável. Essa preocupa??o tem a ver com a escuta ativa. Se paramos de verdade para ouvir o outro lado da conversa, o resultado do nosso trabalho cresce. De quebra, nos comunicamos de forma mais efetiva. Afinal, diálogo é isso: uma troca entre duas partes. E n?o há como trocar se só uma parte fala - ou compartilha vis?es de mundo sem considerar quem pensa diferente.

When you ask questions, you show that you are engaged and interested in the conversation. It allows the speaker to dive deeper into their thoughts, providing more valuable insights and nuanced information that can be critical for media projects. Asking questions can elicit more detailed responses, making it easier to capture the full scope of the speaker's ideas and intentions. Asking questions during active listening helps build trust and rapport. It shows that you value the speaker's input and are willing to take the time to understand their perspective.

If you can be that little patient enough with high level of tolerance you could be able to get whatever you wishes for in the business of media production both at work and off work.

Patience is a virtue, Alongside patience, active listening plays a critical role in media production.

Active listening ensures that everyone's input is accurately captured and interpreted, leading to a more cohesive and effective production process. It minimizes misunderstandings and ensures that the project aligns with the original vision.
