One (sim) interpreter, several speakers: letting the audience know a new speaker is beginning

Hi! Welcome to the Complete Interpreter podcast by the Interpreting Coach.
Why 'Complete Interpreter'? Because you're not just a translation machine, you're also a person and a business owner, and I hope to help you take a 360 view of yourself and share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, use of language, and marketing.
In this episode, I talk about how you can let the audience know a new speaker has begun talking (in simultaneous). Here are some ideas:
- say 'Question' and 'Answer' if it's an interview in that format
- Use the speakers' name or 'function' (e.g. 'the German delegation:')
- use appropriate intonation
- use question tags
- use 'turn-initial discourse markers' such as 'well', 'now', 'right'
- mark the transition between two speakers more explicitly, with phrases like 'in answer to your question', or 'let me address that point'.
- change the pitch of your voice, i.e. have a lower voice for one speaker and a higher pitch for the second.
Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
