About the book “Improving the Interpreter’s Voice”
Mastering the control of your voice, the main instrument of the simultaneous and consecutive interpreter, is an indispensable skill for acquiring perfection in the art of interpretation. “Improving the Interpreter’s Voice” identifies common destructive habits observed in students and practicing interpreters and explains how these issues can be corrected.
This unique collaboration between trained professionals: a professional conference interpreter who teaches simultaneous and consecutive interpretation and a professional actor who teaches public speaking and accent reduction for interpreters summarizes decades of experience in teaching interpretation, improving the voice and mastering vocal techniques.
