    AnnotationInterpreting training focuses on the acquisition and improvement of interpreting skills in order to achieve performance that meets professional standards. Until March 2020, interpreting training at the research site (Matej Bel University in Slovakia) took place in the real environment of the interpreting booth; after this date it was transferred to a virtual environment. The present study examines consecutive interpreting performances that were delivered in a virtual environment in the winter 2020/2021 semester, taking into account the gender of the assessed subjects. The research sample consisted of eight first-year master's students – four women and four men – who were enrolled in the course Consecutive Interpreting in Practice. The students completed three interpreting recordings – one at the beginning, one in the middle, and one at the end of the semester – for the purposes of monitoring their potential progress. The research focuses on the formal component of interpreting (hesitations, vowel and consonant lengthening, repairs, repetitions, extraneous sounds, false starts, unfinished sentences) as well as on the semantic component of interpreting (added information, omitted information, negative shifts). The research also pays attention to criteria such as satisfaction with one's own interpreting and voice confidence. The research suggests that differences by gender in the formal and semantic components of students' interpreting performances are not clear-cut. Most formal deficiencies were better eliminated by the male students (false starts, redundant sounds, vowel and consonant lengthening, repairs, hesitations), but some by female students (repetitions). In terms of content, the female students were more faithful to the original. Overall, the male students were more satisfied with their interpreting performances.
