How to Sound
Confident

About the workshop

The listener can't tell how good your interpretation is. They can only hear how good it sounds.

Join us on Wednesday, August 19th at 7 PM CET for an interactive workshop on confidence for interpreters.

What we will cover

• Voice and intonation — Practice exercises to sound clear, authoritative, and confident in the booth.
• Dealing with hesitations — Practical strategies to manage and eliminate "ehms..." and "uhms...".
• Psychological strategies — Explore techniques to manage stress and feel genuinely confident.
• The virtuous cycle — Discover why confidence leads to calm, increased satisfaction, and ultimately, higher quality interpretation.

Who is this for?

Simultaneous and consecutive interpreters who want to project authority, eliminate hesitation, and feel more collected during high-stakes sessions.
