Interview Coaching for Miss America & Miss America's Teen Contestants
You already know how to be yourself.Let’s make sure the judges meet her.
As a former contestant, director, and judge, I’ve seen how the connection you make in interview can last long after the final question.
The Problem We Solve
Too many contestants walk into interview trying to become the person they think the judges want to meet.
The answers are polished. The smile is practiced.
The more you focus on giving the perfect answer, the harder it can be to have a real conversation.
Who This Is For
You have something real to say.
Designed for local and state-level Miss America and Miss America's Teen contestants who are ready to strengthen their communication skills.
First-time pageant contestants stepping into interview prep with intention
Returning contestants looking for a fresh perspective on interview
Contestants who know their answers but struggle to deliver them in the room
Contestants who know they have more to offer than their interview reflects
Your Coach
Gray Stabley
As someone who spent 16 years communicating live on television and has experienced the pageant interview from all sides as a contestant, judge, and local and state executive director, I’ve learned one thing:
The contestant who leaves a lasting impression isn’t the one with the most polished answers. She’s the one who lets the judges see who she really is.
I help you trust your voice, think clearly under pressure, and let more of who you are come through in the interview room.
Stop performing. Start connecting.

Payment is due in full at time of booking.
All sessions and packages are non-refundable and non-transferable.
All sessions with minor contestants require a parent or guardian to be present for the duration of the session.
Rescheduling is welcome at no charge with at least 24 hours notice. Rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before a scheduled session will be treated as a cancellation and no refund will be issued.
Each booking is valid for one competition. In the event a competition is cancelled or postponed, sessions remain valid and may be applied to the rescheduled competition or a future one. Returning clients are welcome to book individual sessions or packages based on their needs.
All bookings include a short welcome form so your first session is tailored to you from the start.
The Pageant Interview Reset
Prepare for a conversation, not a performance.
You know what you want to say and have thought about answers to anticipated questions. But when interview starts, you still sound more rehearsed than conversational.
The Pageant Interview Reset is a 60-minute, self-guided workbook with six focused exercises to help you move beyond rehearsed answers, respond more naturally, and let more of you come through.
