Interpreting takes on several forms depending on the context and requirements of the situation. Consecutive interpretation enables the interpreter to perform real-time communication in different languages and involves a process where a person reiterates out loud what the speaker has said in a language requested by the client. It merely is a process where the speaker makes a speech whilst the interpreter records it in a written form and then reproduces it to the client.

The three main actions involved in this form of interpretation are Understand (listen actively) Make structured notes (analyse) and Communicate (reproduce).
Being able to listen actively, analyse what the speaker is saying, create valuable notes and then reproduce it in your active language are the key skills required to be a good consecutive interpreter.
During this process of interpreting the speaker pauses after a few minutes, usually at the end of every paragraph, and the interpreter then steps in to reiterate what was said into the language as requested by the client.
Requirements of Consecutive Interpretation Service
Consecutive interpretation service is extremely simple. It does not require any equipment like headphones, microphones, audio consoles or soundproof booths. All that the interpreter need are notepads, pencils. And most often it requires a single person, meaning the interpreter works alone.
The form of interpretation service is applicable for classes, seminars with a limited number of participants, business meetings, etc. The audience is smaller when compared to large conferences that use simultaneous interpretation services.
