Magna Voce
Magna Voce, LLC was founded in 2010 by two interpreters who, not unlike most interpreters in the U.S., went through the growing pains of acquiring their knowledge of the profession through a multitude of workshops of limited duration and scope. As colleagues, they shared their experiences as interpreters and educators and agreed there was a need for a more comprehensive and scholarly approach to the development of a competent professional interpreter.
Our classes are a balanced combination of theoretical principles and guided and reflective practice. Our teaching focuses on linguistic competence, well-developed interpreting skills and the humanistic and ethical considerations present in everyday work.

“Generally, grumbling is heard in our interpreting seminars when it comes to practice and performance in front of peers. It is what we need the most, however, in my humble opinion. This seminar was MUCH better than most in this regard. I think that the practice is the greatest help of all (whether we “like it or not”). THANK YOU BOTH FOR AN EXCELLENT SEMINAR!!!"
