I was trying to think of how a guy would say in English everything that Mark said in ASL. That took up most of my channel. I was not only trying to work on what was said, but how a male would say it.

Because the material was warm, and because I had already analyzed my work with this source, I feel that I was very aware of what I was doing. I noticed when I made a mistake, or when I was going off on a wrong tangent, and even when I started sounding more feminine in my interpretation. The one thing I had troubles with, however, was figuring out how to correct what I was noticing without falling behind.

I think I did a much better job the second time around (with this source). I feel like I maintained his affect while still communicating most of the important information. I feel there has been much improvement between the first interpretation and this interpretation.
