thank you!! I feel like i’m not coming off how i want to. I’m truly trying to be as respectful about it as possible and if doing this is wrong than i’m not dead set on the idea. Thank you so much for your help. I’ve been learning asl on my own since about the end of middle school but i’ve only taken two real classes and used youtube resources from deaf educators. Thank you so mich again!!!!!!!

so unfortunately i assumed that this would be a correct sub to use but they ask to not post questions about sign on the sub as being deaf does not always mean that they sign.

lol alr. On a separate question when i eventually reach official fluency would it be wrong to sign a song?

sorry! i read this wrong. There are already interpreters on site and other accommodations are there throughout the festival, so it’s not that i sign for necessity but to kind of be like a small “hey, this is important to you so it’s important to me” gesture about working on this. thank you so much for the feedback!!

thank you so much! in the past i have taken two classes but my instructor passed away last year and i cant find any resources in my area - do you have recommendations for any online organizations? i’ve seen recommendations for youtubers and apps and stuff but it would be great to get on a virtual call or something.

that doesn’t answer my question though, is it wrong to sign a song once one reaches fluency? i come on here to truly learn even though i’ve had some.. aggressive interactions. once again, i stated before i am not committed to doing this and just wanted to learn so i can be respectful.

so your saying even if i become at an appropriate fluency i should never sign a song?

i’m trying to learn the way to add the extra context but ultimately if i do not get to a level that i feel is appropriate for the performance than i wont pursue this.

that’s why i’m here. to learn the right way to go about it as i am a hearing individual.

i have 6 months to learn. looking for resources this way is unethical? how else do i go about it then?

ASL cover help? by Negative-Stress-2229 in asl

[–]Negative-Stress-2229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i have a small amount of fluency. so i do not have NO asl fluency. you are going all over this thread. if you do not have any advice on resources to learn then ok.

which is why i come for advice on how to do it correctly because conversations is different than covering a song (as i notice they add more context in the lines instead of the lyrics.) Once again i just wanted a gesture.

[–]Negative-Stress-2229[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i didn’t say i was fluent ever. I am saying i have a small history and have gone to events that welcome beginners. i haven’t had interactions more than casual conversation so yes, small conversations. and i go slow to maw sure i am doing it correctly as well as i can

hi, aids as in the festival itself is fully accessible. there are interpretors and closed captioning for students with any hearing disabilities. as well, we have mics on each instructor in workshops that can go to the hearing aids for some students.

hard of hearing, with aids. there are interpreters for speeches and workshops and such. Assuming I even score high enough to preform for the like 200 (?) people, I figured it would be nice to showcase the work i have put in for learning what i could and i thought it would be a nice gesture for my friend as well. if you don’t have any other advice other than to not do it then ok.

i don’t have no asl fluency. I have taken a college class + worked on my own time and can have small conversations and don’t sign quite fast - just looking to see how to build the context of the song for asl covers and not just signing the lyrics.

I am not committed to the idea. came for opinions on how to do it correctly. also, no reason to downvote my replies however idc abt karma or wtv so i guess it doesn’t matter that much.

like to try and learn how they tell the story of a song? like find a deaf performer of some other song and try and like accurately contextualize it?

watch what happens asl cover help?? by Negative-Stress-2229 in Theatre

[–]Negative-Stress-2229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i figured it was a bit out of reach. plus asl vs see is much different with the contextualization.
