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.

IM DEAF FOR ALMOST ALL MY LIFE. I'VE BEEN IN HEARING WORLD. I RAISE READING LIPS, SIGNING IN SEE. I HATE ASL SO FREAKIN MUCH! THEY ARE SO CONFUSING! I HAVE SOME FRIENDS THAT IS USING ASL BUT I WILL NOT NEVER TEACH MY FAMILY ASL! THEY ALL ARE HEARING BUT THEY KNOW I HATE ASL LOL. SO THEY STICK TO SEE OR HOME SIGNING LANGUAGE
A person who embraces ASL as their primary language will be considered a member of the Deaf community. I find many deaf friends on a Deaf dating site ----Deafornot dot c om---- Good luck to them!!!
fantastic! I run the BSL show choir at my school (Elmfield School for Deaf Children) in England. We just did our first full show! I'm going to put this song in th next show!!!
I'm taking ASL I, I feel so good that I can understand the signs without sound. I'm hard of hearing and I have to use hearing aids. Thank you guys for this! <33
It was reported on a Deaf dating site named Deafornot dot c om that 500,000 Deaf individuals in the United States claim American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language.
One more comment, the two performers are - I am sure - Deaf, themselves. I think it was a great effort at inclusivity, with two communities... new to each other, right? .... the Deaf world and the hearing one.
This was a great job. The "lip syncing" was obviously for the benefit of the hearing audience (who this would mostly be for), so they could follow the signs with the words they hear. BUT some Deaf DO rely on simcom (signing and lipreading) delivery and many do not - there is certainly not just one kind of Deaf person. It was Disney's attempt to be inclusive. Check out BIG RIVER (DeafWest Theater), for a different kind of inclusive theater experience.
first of all, in training for asl, we are trained to lip sync.. i understand not all deaf read lips but some do so to do it anyway, especially if you do not know your audience... I work with many deaf and I know who does lip read and who does not... but I lip sync anyway... since I am not an interpreter and do not turn on and off lip sync easy.. also theater interpreting must be more visual... for deaf in the back to see the signs..not all deaf sit in the front row..and many people at shows
There's something I've always been curious about: So there's American Sign Language (ASL) but the signs we use here in America, is it the same in other countries as well?
What I mean is, would, say, people in France use the same sign language as America or do they have their own sign language based on their own language?
Did that even make sense? I;m sorry if it didn't :-/
No. As the name says it's American Sign language, it's specific for American speech.
I'm portuguese, so I'll explain using the example of LGP (Língua Gestual Portuguesa/Portuguese Sign Language). If I went to the USA I could use LGP, but most of the signs are differently made (some are still a bit similar, but other are totally different). =)
to Alixinthemiddle: Lip Syncing doesnt matter to deaf people, as long as the deaf understand the song, being signed to them. i would know since im deaf!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no, i mean her lips. the boy is really good at lipsynching. you can hardly tell he's not singing. the girl, you can tell isn't actually singing (unless, of course, you're deaf and can't hear how different her mouth is from the song).
@surfinsarah22 That wasn't my point, though. I was merely pointing out to the comments about people lip syncing and how "important" it is to the Deaf community. I don't rely on lip syncing when I see a sign language performance. What I rely on are the signs & the expressions. Maybe some Deaf people do rely on lip syncing, but for the most part we rely on expressions & emotions as well as the signs and how they flow together.
@bwaycraz3d84 I'm not trying to be mean in any way but how do you listen to music if you are deaf is it the vibrations and the waves are just the heart telling you
This is AMAZING.
I can't tell you how much I love this video.
Showed my ASL teacher, he fell in love!
Keep it up!
