WHISPERED INTERPRETING (CHUCHOTAGE) SERVICE
Whispered interpreting, or “chuchotage” (from the French word for “whispering”), is a form of simultaneous interpretation provided without the use of any technical equipment. The interpreter stands or sits close to one or two listeners and quietly whispers the translation in real time. It is a fast, discreet, and effective solution for events where privacy and immediacy are essential.
This service is particularly effective in:
– Business meetings and executive negotiations
– Court hearings and legal consultations
– Factory tours and field inspections
– Press briefings and small multilingual presentations
– Diplomatic and high-level official meetings
Whispered interpreting is ideal for short sessions (typically under 45 minutes), where the number of participants needing interpretation is limited. For larger groups, or when background noise is a concern, systems like Infoport or alternative interpreting methods may be more appropriate.
Unlike consecutive interpretation, whispered interpreting is done simultaneously—without interrupting the speaker. The interpreter must listen, comprehend, and translate instantly while maintaining discretion and voice control. It’s a demanding task that requires a high level of linguistic and emotional intelligence.
Success in whispered interpreting depends on:
– Fluency in both source and target languages
– Clear articulation in a low voice
– Deep cultural awareness and neutrality
– Strong improvisation and summarization skills
– Physical proximity management and vocal endurance
