@Catwalksymphony, I don't think it's a mean or hurtful thing to be curious about what a deaf person's voice sounds like. I am curious, hence me being here, but it is certainly not meant to be a slight to the deaf. Quite the opposite! I'm in awe. I can't imagine how hard learning to speak without hearing would be, or even how it would be done! Also, by hearing a deaf voice and comparing, you can see what cues humans, learn from sound. It gives insight to how our AMAZING brains, work and perceive.

I never understood the obsession that some hearing people have when they hear a deaf person's voice. I always thought of it like an accent, just like anyone who's first language isn't English, if that makes any sense... it was never weird or strange to me to hear my friends use their voices to get my attention or when I was learnign sign language, to help me understand what was being said.

It's sad how critical people can be of things that shouldn't make any difference to them.

i think we are all curious becuase its so amzing how anyone who is deaf can learn to pronounce words and letters if they can't here. its awesome! can you tell me how you learned or how people who are deaf learn how to say words if they can't hear the pronunciation?

@Catwalksymphony I think its more of a curiousity then anything - it isn't common thing for a lot of people - I don't think I know any people that are deaf but I wouldn't be disrepectful to them if I did

Hey.. i browsed old tube... Actually i never into this stuff until I realized there deaf to use. Anyway. Yeah deaf people need to control thier voice , but at the same time, you or any deaf people CANNOT help! Me , can hear on right ear but not on left... not not 100% . But i used hanging out with girl who use her odd voice and it embarrassed. maybe you can touch your throat to see if there vibrate. go watch movie, "The Company of Men". it is about deaf worker and along with men.

I also wanted to say that I think your voice is wonderful, and as a hearing person who's first language is NOT asl... it helps me to appreciate what you're saying even more. I think it's only natural as humans to use our voices, whether a spoken language is our first language or not. So keep doing what you feel is most comfortable. And know that there are those of us out here that appreciate it for what it is. =)
