How do you make a good impression in an interview with body language and tone of voice?

Architecture interviews are not only about what you say. They are also about how clearly you listen, explain your work, handle pressure and stay present in the conversation.

Stephen Drew, Tara Cull and Emma Wainer discuss how architecture candidates can make a stronger interview impression through body language, tone of voice, listening, presence, communication and preparation.

The conversation covers:

• Why body language matters in architecture interviews
• How tone of voice affects trust and clarity
• How to stay present while presenting a portfolio
• How to manage nerves and online interview behaviour
• Which communication mistakes can weaken a strong application
