If we think about the translation of a conversation in sign language, we know that interpreters must have the necessary capacity to keep up with what is heard and be able to communicate it effectively. Imagine it would be more difficult, for example, in a song. Well, Holly Maniatty, Eminem’s translator, went one step higher, looking for the impossible. She is responsible for communicating in this language the melodies of the American rap singer. But how is that possible? We know that it is a musical genre that chains word after word at a rapid pace, which sometimes becomes difficult to understand. If sometimes it is difficult in a song of lower rhythm and speed, in a rap it would be more complicated. But Holly works hard to translate the 47-year-old artist.

She makes use of all the resources of her body to be able to reach the deaf audience, with very fast movements. The 40-year-old woman has an outstanding career. In addition to the author of Lose Yourself, he worked with other artists such as Mumford and Sons, Marilyn Manson, U2, Billy Joel, among others.
