This workshop will explore the prosodic properties of spoken language and how they impact the accuracy of voice interpretations. Participants will experience the manipulation of these properties in order to understand the changes in meaning that can occur with even minor fluctuations. Prosodic features that will be explored include: pauses, lengthening of vowels, tempo, volume, pitch, and more. The goal of this training is to provide specific strategies interpreters can immediately incorporate into their work to create interpretations that sound natural to the listener.
