This makes me smile so much. I wanna be this good at ASL one day.
@KrisKillam Lots of hearing people know ASL. I'm not deaf, but I've been practicing it for about 2 years now. People who aren't from Spain still learn Spanish, don't they? its basically just another foreign language. All you need is practice.
As an ASL student I really appreciate the fact that he displays multiple signs for certain words, like dumb, hard, sides, and 'turn it up', to name a few.
has he ever explained the reason that he knows sign language? cause he's not deaf, right? I mean he's wearing headphones for the music, so obviously not... So how is he so fluent?
@KrisKillam Im not sure how he knows sign so well but just because hes wearing headphones doesnt "obviously" make him hearing. Deaf people listen to music in headphones also. Im honestly not trying to be mean here.. just wanted you to know. :)
This was my first video of yours... Before Last Friday Night Parody. You are inspirational: because you relate to the deaf and hard of hearing, you accept people the way they are, are you support community causes (yep, saw that one too). Thanks Michael!
@Ashsavvy "Tonight we're going 'hard'" looks like (on my phone's screen anyway, lol) like a thumb hand being drawn into the chest. That is the sign for 'butch' as in... the same as a butch lesbian, around here. I'm from the North East USA.
@FoxiieRoxiie1420 I think people just enjoy his way of entertainment. I don't think he ever said he was trying to help the deaf. I love what this guy is doing, my son loves what he is doing, and that is what matters to me!
All your videos are great! I know...total long shot - wishful thinking, but you should try to contact some of these artists and offer your interpreting services at their concerts. It's art and some of them would appreciate it. Deaf/HOH people go to concerts, more than people realize. You really capture the artists song! Really enjoyed watching them, Thanks
I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, ----Deafornot dot c om----, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.
@pinkpowerranger1000 No I bet this makes deaf people happy, why would they think that? That's horrible. this is a really great inspiring video, this guy if amazing.
His enthusiasm is great and the video is great.. but let me make it clear as an ASL major...people dont sign songs to "help the deaf". the Deaf can enjoy music on their own...and usually don't even watch signed music. BUT..having said this..i enjoy this video
@FoxiieRoxiie1420 I agree with you that people don't make these videos to help the deaf because they don't really need help like you said. However, I know many deaf people that love videos like this and think they're great.
@FoxiieRoxiie1420: I agree! Great facial expressions too. But just to add to Foxlie's comment when signing ASL properly, speaking english is incorrect, and some members of the Deaf community even get offended. Just a suggestion to make your videos even better. But this is great!
@FoxiieRoxiie1420 As a Deaf Studies / ASL major I know what you mean when you say people do not sign songs for "helping the deaf"; the Deaf can enjoy music. However, I do know deaf people who like signed music.
@Ashsavvy Yeah :) Deaf and hearing alike can enjoy signed music for sure :) Just making sure others know whats up. lol where are you a deaf studies major at? i am too!
@FoxiieRoxiie1420 WUT? I'm a CODA and Deaf people do certainly enjoy signed lyrics in conjunction with music... At least my parents and their friends all did when I was young? Has Deaf culture changed that much? Luckily my parents just liked my Techno and there WERE no words, so... there's that... But really? Deaf people don't watch signed music, now? Like EVER? Even in concerts for the Deaf?
@FoxiieRoxiie1420 Yeah... Well, while there is, or WAS a strong sense of community within Deaf culture for a long time, they are all still individuals with their own preferances. Its really hard to make blanket statements, especially nowadays as CIs blur the lines between the Deaf, the HH and the hearing worlds. I remember being little and dragged to concerts for the Deaf, and they had groups like 'singing hands' interpret. I just wondered it that's been lost recently; a lot has been.
I really like how you pop your body to certain words..like when she is repeating "are-are-are-ar-are-are" i feel that the deaf can really understand the song's beat that way. keep up the good work :)
Totally not my song - but O_O I love the ASL - well... know a little of a simplified version - but the way you do it is simply amazing O_O The faces are hilarious and absolutely brilliant:D
