[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 39806, member: 1"] Hey! When I used to conduct mock interviews, I found this to be an very common issue with candidates and often a blind-spot. It's also something I initially found challenging when I was going through the process (partly because I have quite the monotone voice). I think delivery plays a huge role in the success of your interview. You might be 100% passionate about applying to a particular firm and your content could be fantastic, but if your answers are quite stilted or you are expressionless, that can give the interviewer a lot of doubt. For my interviews, I had to force myself to show more energy, particularly where I was talking about why I wanted to be a commercial lawyer or why I was applying to a particular firm. You don't need to do it for every question, but I think it adds a big difference where you are talking about something you are passionate about. My advice here would be to record yourself and watch your performance back. You might even want to try sounding out your answers with different amounts of enthusiasm/energy until you find the right balance. You can check out our mock interview service here: [URL]https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/mock-interview/[/URL], although this falls outside of TCLA Premium. [/QUOTE]
