A little preparation before your **Ivy audio call** can help the conversation go smoothly without interruptions. In this article, you will learn what to do before your call so you're ready when Ivy calls.

#### Step-by-Step Guide

1. **Choose a quiet location**\
   Find a calm space with minimal background noise so Ivy can clearly hear your responses, and you can clearly hear the questions.
2. **Ensure strong network coverage**\
   The call is a normal phone call and depends on your mobile network. Stay in an area with a strong signal. Avoid basements, lifts, and low-coverage zones.
3. **Set aside enough time**\
   The call typically lasts 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure you have this time free and won't be disturbed.
4. **Keep your details ready**\
   Have any relevant information handy, such as your availability for interviews or scheduling, so you can answer without delay.
5. **Answer clearly**\
   Speak in clear English at a normal pace. If you don't understand a question, you can ask Ivy to repeat it.
