The interview should be in person. Minimally, the interview should take place via video chat. You will need to demonstrate your and observe non-verbal communication.
Do not email the person the questions to answer. This does not provide you the ability to practice your skills.

Use at least 2 different skills but label all the communication skills throughout the interview.
In BLUE font, following each question/answer set, provide a self-critique by noting things you believe you did well, and you could improve – include both verbal and non-verbal communication.

What led you to choose this person for your interview?
What thought process went into formulating your questions.
How you feel the interview went.
