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 share some great tried-and-tested strategies to improve your interpreting skills, mindset, and marketing.

In this episode, I talk about 'echoic memory' (your memory of the sounds you hear): how it works, whether you can improve it, and how some interpreters use it to give a more complete rendition in simultaneous.

By the way, in this podcast, I mention the legend of Echo, a nymph from Greek mythology cursed (by the goddess Hera, who doesn't come across as a particularly warm and cuddly character) to only be able to repeat the last words uttered by others.

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