Key things I would do to display confidence/ calmness (I think sometimes calmness is all that's needed) include:- Firm handshake and eye contact as soon as you meet the interviewer, introduce yourself with a smile and ask how they're doing (obviously the handshake bit is only applicable to an in-person interview) - Speak slower than you normally would, keep your vocal tone consistent and (highly optional) throw your voice ever so slightly lower than normal- Don't rush into answering anything, instead take a few seconds to think through the question that's been asked, take a sip of water etc - this helps to calm you down so everything you say afterwards is the proper pace etc- Avoid adding a raised inflection to your sentences unless you're asking a question as it makes everything seem like a question/ uncertain- Avoid the use of language which indicates uncertainty (e.g. 'maybe'/ 'might'/ 'possibly'/ 'probably' etc) and sub this for more definitive languageJust worth briefly mentioning, remember that - while confidence is great and really highly important - you never want to cross the line to coming off arrogant etc. Just bear this in mind and you'll be golden <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
