I almost liked the 'smiling' advice... But on the second thought, it's very much personality specific. In my opinion, some people appear less convincing when they smile a lot. Also, you need to realize that interview is a meeting of strangers, so the other side is somewhat nervous too, thus allowing yourself to be nervous is ok, no shame.
As always, the best advice is know yourself and be yourself. Managing a pretense requires extra effort, better direct that energy towards the challenges.
Interview requires some luck (there're always factors beyond your control). No matter what the outcome, I'd consider it a success, if I managed to stay true to self and learned something new about people on the other side...or myself.
Btw, 60 interviews in 30 days... Any offers extended/accepted?
