Start my free interview warmupWhen the interview starts, you need
Energy
The adrenaline doesn't go anywhere. It stops feeling like fear and starts feeling like drive, and you walk in switched on.
Clarity
The loop of what-ifs goes quiet. You hear the question, take a beat, and answer in full sentences.
Focus
Not every possible question. One thing: how you'll open. Your first answer. The rest follows.
Composure
Steady voice. Still hands. Eye contact that holds. You look like you belong in the room, and you feel it.
Rilo works for your other big moments too.
Exam
The noise settles. You read the question and start.
Presentation or speech
Take the floor steady and hold it.
Sales call
Get out of your head and into the conversation.
A day that matters

A few minutes that turn the nerves into drive.
Walk in.
Energy up, hands steady, ready to nail this interview.
The research says: don't calm down. Get ready.
Reframing your nerves as excitement helps you perform better.
Trying to calm down doesn't help much. Saying “I'm excited” does: people who reframed their nerves as excitement sang, spoke and solved maths problems better than people who tried to relax. Rilo helps you make that switch before you walk in.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2014A set routine helps you perform when the pressure's on.
Top athletes use one before every big moment, and it works: across 15 sports, a routine improved performance, including under pressure. Rilo gives you your own routine for interviews, exams and presentations.

International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology, 2021Slow breathing settles a racing body.
A few minutes of slow, paced breathing switches on your body's calming response, so the shakiness eases and you feel steadier. A review of 223 studies found the effect holds up again and again.

FAQ
How do I calm my nerves before an interview?
Don't try to switch them off. Use them. In the last few minutes, breathe in for 4 and out for 6 for two minutes, then say “I'm excited” out loud. Research shows this works better than trying to calm down. Finish by saying your first answer once. Rilo walks you through all of it.
What should I do 10 minutes before an interview?
Stop reviewing your notes. More cramming at this point just adds noise. Use the time to get ready instead: two minutes of slow breathing, then one run-through of how you'll answer “Tell me about yourself.” For a video interview, do this at your desk and join the call straight after.
How do I stop my voice shaking in an interview?
Slow your exhale before you go in. Breathing out longer than you breathe in, for a couple of minutes, settles your heart rate and steadies your voice. In the room, take a breath before each answer and start a little slower than feels natural. The first sentence is the hardest. After that, your voice follows.
When should I do the warmup?
In the last few minutes before you go in: in the car, in the lobby, or at your desk before a video call. You can schedule a reminder so it's ready when you need it.
Does it work for video interviews?
Yes. Do it at your desk, then join the call straight from the warmup.
Is this meditation?
No. Meditation is a daily habit. Rilo is for the minutes before your interview.
Do I need sound on?
No. Everything is on screen. Sound adds narration, music and breathing cues.
Is it free?
Your first warmup is free. No card required. After that, plans start at $3 a month.
Is this a treatment for anxiety?
No. This is a pre-performance tool, not mental-health treatment or a substitute for professional care.
