I’m often asked if interpreting on stage makes me nervous…
In reality, interpreters are often not even in the same room as the presenter, but given these unprecedented times, they can often be seen on your own PC screen!
This was the case at one of my most recent assignments. The event organiser invited me to interpret on Zoom. This is increasingly becoming the reality for interpreters who are so used to being the background, but this was a really exciting assignment for me, so I couldnāt say no! š¤š¼
Without giving too much away, I received a call from a client early in the morning ten minutes before interpreting for an Italian video maker and then received the confirmation for this high-level service for 4:30 pm in the afternoon.
As an AS Roma fan, it may have been the best phone call Iāve ever received! š ā¤ļø ROMA š§” AMOR š
