Capturing a speaker’s style is key to effective interpreting--stress, intonation, and pauses convey meaning beyond words alone. In Javier Castillo, Jr.'s Advanced Skills & Training Day session, attendees will refine these skills through practice with speeches and testimonies spanning a range of emotions, from anger to hope. Attendees will learn practical techniques to enhance authenticity and vocal dynamics in their renditions, ensuring they resonate more fully. Attendees will engage in hands-on exercises, receive peer feedback, and gain tips to elevate their delivery to create true human connection. The workshop is ideal for interpreters seeking to strengthen their craft and better honor each speaker’s voice! Learn more at https://bit.ly/46bcJHM and register today!

Advanced Skills & Training Day takes place Wednesday, October 28 at in San Francisco, California. This "conference-before-the-conference" offers a selection of three-hour courses, specifically chosen to provide intensive, interactive instruction from highly-acclaimed speakers. Courses have limited capacity to ensure the individual attention needed for an optimal learning experience. Along with your conference registration, additional fees are required.
