How do you prepare for an interpreting gig?

If it's a presentation of some sort, do you HAVE to have the "materials"? How do you study the materials? What if you don't understand the presentation?

If it is a situation that has no "materials", how do you prepare to create a professional, quality interpretation?

I share some of the ways I practically and mentally prepare for most interpreting assignments. Do you do something different? Let me know! Give me SUGGESTION!

Part 4, the last in our interview series with Sharon Neumann Solow, an American pioneer interpreter from the U.S.A. Sharon is a teacher, consultant, researcher, actor and genuine gift to all.

This episode touches the heart a bit deeper and a sensitive court case topic is mentioned. Be warned that tears may drop. Also, Virginia Hughes passed away only a few days after this entire interview was made.

Sharon leaves us with coping strategies she uses to stay healthy, mentally and physically when tasked with difficult interpreting situations. Her final thoughts are to pass to us the words of wisdom and observations of the early mentors in her life.

So, the final words in this interview are:

• healthy coping strategies,
• legacy advice and comfort,
• and more.

Have a great rest of the summer! See you next week!!

Acting is not everyone's cup of tea. I would say interpreters must at least sip a little from that cup or lose some of our fluency in interpreting.

Bruce and Siegrid gave me some thoughts about how to put into words my view of interpreting. Using some acting skills helps us create a better interpretation and allows us to be a part of the context in a more comfortable way.
