Consecutive interpreting
Clear and precise communication in meetings, events and negotiations
Do you need to organise a meeting, negotiation or event and require a professional consecutive interpreter in Italian, Spanish or English? My name is Giampaolo Sponza, and I am a professional conference interpreter with over 28 years of experience, specialising in consecutive interpreting for companies, institutions and professional events in Madrid and internationally.
What is consecutive interpreting?
Consecutive interpreting is a type of oral translation in which the interpreter listens to a segment of speech, takes notes, and then reproduces it faithfully in the target language. It is used in contexts where simultaneous translation is not required, and a precise, natural, and reliable communication between people who do not speak the same language is needed. It is ideal for business meetings, negotiations, press conferences, official hearings, audits, guided tours and formal events.
Specialised in Italian, Spanish and English
My work focuses exclusively on these three languages, which allows me to offer in-depth mastery of both the language and the cultural and professional context of each combination:
- Italian ⇄ Spanish
- Italian ⇄ English
This trilingual approach allows me to provide terminological accuracy, natural expression and complete fluency during interpreting, which is essential in environments where every word counts.
Why choose me as your consecutive interpreter?
- 28 years of experience in international events, corporate meetings and institutional events
- Specialised training as a conference interpreter
- In-depth knowledge of technical, legal, medical and business matters

When is consecutive interpreting used?
Consecutive interpreting is ideal when there are natural pauses between speeches or when a slower, more personalised translation is preferred. I usually use this type of interpreting in the following situations: private meetings, media interviews, press conferences, institutional statements, visits by foreign delegations, technical inspections, training courses and diplomatic meetings.
