Judging IE Interps

Step 2: What kinds of comments can I make to help the speakers?

·        Give ideas for their introductions:

“You need to shorten your teaser (beginning section of literature) so you get to your introduction sooner.”

“You need a more interesting beginning to your speech.”

·        Give ideas for interpreting more effectively.

“You should speak more clearly; it was hard to understand you.”

“You should speak less loudly.”

“You need more vocal variety. You tend to go into a set pattern with your voice; instead, work to convey the meaning of what you are saying with how you say it.”

“You need to portray the main character better; give her a stronger sense of pride, more of a feeling of assertive power. Right now, she comes across too timidly.”

“When you switch back and forth between the characters, you have unneeded movements. Practice so it is smooth and quick.”
