Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry

Drama! Drama! Drama! Be calm and interpret.

We are a young profession...still. Society knows about us, but individuals tend to misunderstand what we do and who we are. This societal perspective can make us become defensive. We have a list of reasons, arguments and explanations ready to counter any barriers that we encounter in our work.

This attitude can affect our ethical, moral, and practical decisions. In this episode, I detail this look at how we can make our decisions and create less stress for us and for the clients.

The new year is coming soon. I plan to add more fun to our IW-podcast community. There will be more costs and time involved for me. I appreciate your support to move the passion forward. Please support it.

A special story to say "until next time" to Zane Hema in the last episode of our conversation. In this episode, Zane expresses his support that a sense of humor is important to survive as an interpreter. And his exciting story of interpreting for royalty is an example for us all... not to mention just incredibly COOL!

Zane has regaled us with many lovely stories teaching us to laugh, cry and shake our heads. His journey speaks to many of us in different ways. This episode teaches us the gift of humor, humility, and respect for all.

The adventure continues with Zane Hema!

We chat about Zane's early interpreting experience and how he took a step into the unknown. He's glad he did since it helped him develop as an interpreter in new ways. We discuss how our relationships with our clients and the interpreter community help us grow in ways we cannot do alone. And we have a couple of laughs along the way.

Be warned this episode contains silliness, crazy talk, inner thoughts, and perhaps some humor. Another look at the one-sided conversation between an interpreter and those who just don't get it...yet.

This is another episode focusing on the funny side of sign language interpreting. We all need time to vent, laugh at ourselves, and see the comical within the context of our work.

Interpretive Humming?? "Waltz" this about?

Hanna and I chat about teams, work - life balance, and more. Not all of us are privileged to have a team when interpreting. Some countries either don't use teams or don't have enough interpreters to make teams.

How do we "have a life" and still have enough work to pay for that life? Hanna gives us her insights from Austria in this last episode of our interview.

What do YOU really think?? This episode is a fun, sarcastic look at what we sometimes are thinking or what we would like to say. Laugh, if you can, but try not to cry.

We get the same old questions, the same old comments. We deal with the same problems every month.

• We don't have the PowerPoints yet, sorry.
• Sign language is universal, right?!
• Please don't stand there.
• Why two interpreters?

How do you deal with it? Do you have the answers memorized? Do you sigh, roll your eyes, or just smile?

Do you like this type of episode? Let me know! Give me SUGGESTION!
