Don't Stop Believin' by Glee in ASL

PLEASE READ:

Sup people! Ok, so on DN, DecembersRose wanted me to post a video of me signing this song. Im only in ASL 1 so I might have a couple things wrong. In fact, if you notice I did something wrong, could ya let me know? Itd help. Anyways, Im not perfect but I tried my best. Hehe.

AND!!!! Please excuse my grandpa in the next room. Also, the camera was in front of the AC vent in my room so sorry for the extra noise that sounds blech. Other than that, please enjoy. :D

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.:)

Thanks!!!

And yeah, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I'll work on putting my facial expressions into context better. :D Thanks for your tips!

nice job

[MagicAngel101]

Thanks :D

get into what you're signing and singing, its more enjoyable to watch! otherwise pretty good job

[MagicAngel101]

Hahaha yeah. I was sick that day. So, when I perform it for my class, I'll be in better spirits. But thanks!

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...

h.

Good job, just keep learning. I recently posted a vid on sign language on here...check it out if u would like some help.

[Blackwidina]

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!

@ iammikayla

(i accidentally gave u thumbs up instead of down...lol)

[barbaro267]

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!

[iammikayla]

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.
