The Basics of Acting for Interpreters
Remote interpreters must convey content, subcontext, human behaviour and emotions. Claudia Brauer proposes Stanivslasky’s Method Acting to develop your acting skills, empathy, and identification with “the other” to understand their influencing emotions. Acting “as” the other – “in the place” of him/her – is the foundation to successfully navigating the challenges of communicating across languages and cultures.
