[QUOTE="jta227, post: 195837, member: 38032"] In a VI they are (purportedly) focused more on the content of your response itself so if your answers are really good I feel like you'd be ok. Obviously heavily depends on the recruiter though so I'd try to not sound like that regardless. Also your default face during recording should be leaning towards a smile (is what I've been advised). I'd try and not give them any reason to reject you, sometimes it just is what it is. In general though, as someone who has this issue (not from nerves, it's just my default voice), based on 20 years experience I can tell you that it affects most people's perceptions even if they say/think it doesn't. When you meet them at an AC or a VS I think being monotone would definitely be a negative point, you just have to consciously work against that. Practice makes perfect, sometimes I slip back into it without even realising. I basically got told as much by one of my mentors as well, who said in one cycle her feedback was constantly saying she seemed reserved and/or unenthusiastic and she got like 4 offers the next cycle changing nothing but her body language.
