Analysis of the role of the interpreter

The performance of the interpreter in the video can be said to have been very satisfactory, since the main objective of what interpreting is was accomplished.

I consider that the fluency and spontaneity that the interpreter showed also displayed the attitude and the message that the speaker wanted to convey, not only with his speech but also with his body movement and language.

I would say that the interpreter was trying not to eclipse the speaker's intervention, so she used a very soft tone of voice. I think that, for the sake of understanding and an easier task of listening, she could have used a louder tone without being exaggerated.

The interpreter displayed experience, mastery of the task, she looked prepared, secure and I think the speaker felt comfortable with the interpretation of his speech by her.
