Translated in real time. Still in your voice.

§ 02 · the signal

What voice preservation means.

Tone

The rise at a question. The weight behind a pause. The small shifts that land before the words do.

Prosody

What a sentence sounds like before you know the words. Rhythm. Breath. The shape carrying the meaning.

Signature

The same person, in any language. You can tell.

§ 03 · listen

Native French source. Recorded in studio.

A voice carrieswhat words can't.

The truth about translation is that you never really have a word in one language which precisely equates another. You never do.
Irving Finkel
Language is a communication system for the meaning. It's not the meaning.
Edward Gibson
We all register people's levels of confidence or anxiety when they speak and that determines what we remember and what we forget.
