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 target language, and marketing.

This episode is devoted to a discussion of exercises that can be useful in the 'early simultaneous stage' - particularly for improving split attention.

A bit shoutout to Andy Gillies and his book Conference Interpreting: a Student's Practice Book, as well as the fantastically useful interpretertrainingresources.eu

You can find Robin Setton's article here, and Karla Déjean Le Féal's article here. I also mentioned Cyril Joyce's early sim exercise in this episode, and Roderick Jones's methodical approach to using consecutive as a basis for early simultaneous.

And of course I suggested the ORCIT website, which contains useful material not only about simultaneous, but consecutive without notes, note-taking, and public speaking as well.

Let me know what you'd like me to talk about next!
