Thanks very much for the tip – I didn't realise that was something that should be avoided but makes a lot of sense to not draw attention to the interpreting process. Very interesting.

I'm a JTI (studying post-grad BSL/English Interpreting) and I've enjoyed reading & watching your blog. Just a tip - my tutor told me that it's really important not to make any sound when you sign - especially when you are interpreting. We try not to draw attention to the interpreting process, so be aware of lip smacking etc. I know that at levels 1 - 3 we are naturally copying what Deaf people do, but as we advance we need to recognise that Deaf people make noises when they sign because they can't hear themselves - we can, so we have a duty to monitor our vocal output! It really made me stop and think - though when I'm out with my deaf friends socially I don't worry about it! Good luck with it all - you're obviously doing a fantastic job! Hi Gareth,
