Ignore all the downers; I think you did just fine, for someone who's still learning. And keep this in mind: a lot of people have enough trouble learning their OWN language, much less another one, especially one with different grammar and syntax. It's a process like anything else. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, this is good for ASL 1 !! Work on your facial expressions. I understand your sick, but a deaf person still needs to feel your emotions. But that was good! Keep practicing!
You didnt gloss anything, there for a deaf person wouldnt be able to understand this at all. you're just using signs, not using it in the write gramatical way.
you don't have to supply gloss, even though it's a nice thing to have so people can correct you, etc. :)
and don't be mean...many people have different ways of signing...ASL isn't universal you know!
and FYI...SEE (Sign Exact English) is common for people not actually taking ASL or who don't know of the syntax (at least its readable!). Take a chill pill dude!
While you seem to realize facial expression is important to meaning, you seem to convey what the signs usually mean. Example: you sign "strangers waiting." You convey that strangers are, well, strange, and waiting is boring, but you're not really putting them in context. When you sign, you have to think about what it means in the sentence and take on an appropriate facial expression for what you're saying.
I would like to say great job, since I wouldn't have been able to sign that in ASL 1.:)
This was really good, although I ditto all the 'you need to express more' comments - would love to see the performance, if you can get someone in the audience with a camera phone...
Heeeeeeeeeeey! And ok. I try but for some reason, holding it seems to escape me except for 'night'. And yeah, I'm usually really good with keeping eye contact..but for some reason, when in front of a camera..it feels awkward to just stare at it. Hahaha. But ok, thankies for all the tips!
And thanks! *touches self and sizzles* I try. lmao kidding
when singing in sign language: you usually hold the sign longer, like how singers hold vowels, you do that really well on "night" but normally you also move the sign smoothly outward so it's "niiiiiiiiight" not just "night" also, don't fiddle around with your shirt and face. it distracts from your beautiful singing.always keep eye contact with who ever you're signing to, in this case the camera, cuz that's just considered polite. bobbing your head is also distracting
Good job, just keep learning. I recently posted a vid on sign language on here...check it out if u would like some help.

first of all, this isnt asl.
You didnt gloss anything, there for a deaf person wouldnt be able to understand this at all. you're just using signs, not using it in the write gramatical way.
and a lot of your signs are wrong.
