Can You Understand My Deaf Voice?
Рет қаралды 863,720
4 жыл бұрынEver wonder what a Deaf person’s voice sounds like? Here’s a video showing a born deaf person talking… how much can you understand? My Dad interprets both in spoken English and sign American Sign Language (ASL).
Every Deaf person sounds different- just like how every hearing person sounds different, everyone has their own unique voice.
Imagine learning to talk even though you have never heard a sound before. That is how it is for me. This is how I sound. I was born profoundly deaf- to hearing parents (my parents shared how they found out I was deaf in an interview here: • Raising a Deaf Child -... ).
When I started speech therapy in seventh grade, I started practicing talking using my voice (while signing) at home- with my parents. Hearing my voice everyday, my Dad learned to recognize and understand my voice so that he can understand me most of the time, even without signing, which is usually when my Dad’s driving.
Originally, I planned to film a video of us talking & signing in the car to show you how much my Dad can understand me (because I think it’s so awesome, haha) but then I had an idea to do this video first- to see how much you guys can understand me and having my Dad interpret for me. :)
I hope you enjoy the video! It was weird watching myself- I have never seen myself talking (voicing) without signing, I usually sign when I talk (voice). I actually had to watch my Dad interpreting for some parts of the video because I don’t read lips, ha.
Thanks again for watching!! If you’d like to learn some basic sign language, here is the link to the video where I show 25 Basic ASL Signs for Beginners: • 25 Basic ASL Signs For...
I also teach basic sign language vocabulary on Instagram everyday- @signedwithheart :)

I didn't understand her either at first, but I tried backing it up after her dad had translated to see if I could understand it, already knowing what she was saying, and I was able to recognize her words and lip movements. I did this a few times, and started picking up on what she was saying before he translated. And I have to agree, watching him with her is a heartwarming sight :)

As deaf myself, I took speech therapy. The British speech therapist taught me how words are formed using tongue position and remind me to vocalise by touching my chest. It is like training your muscles and being more aware of it especially those silent sounds. Hearing people naturally learn to speak by hearing it and they form a sound. We deaf could not do it. The therapist said I often missed out silent sounds like t sh ch d f v b p... He told me how the mouth and tongue form. At first sh and Ch sounds the same to me. I put sh and ch same way. They told me that the position of tongue is different for sh and ch. ch position the tongue on roof of mouth behind teeth. Then flicker it down to create ch. ch is shorter than sh. So it comes a long training and memorising and getting used to it. As for my voice- I have to take singing lesson to learn to vocalise over and over again to learn to project my voice. As a deaf, we are very conscious of how we sound. So it has been a deliberate journey for us. If you want to speak more, it takes practice and get used to it. Don’t be afraid of how you sound like. And people you love or who loves you will help you to correct it. A therapist will help. However, you are very loved by your dad who learned sign language for you. No one does that for me. I learned to speak when I was really young. I went therapist to therapist and finally found the one who helped me to develop technique to correct myself.

I hope you ll find people in your life, who ll learn to sign for you, your future friend, a spouse. It is sooo much easier for a hearing person to learn signing then for a deaf person to learn speaking. And i am sure speaking is really draining for you. If i had a deaf friend or smth i d love to learn their version of a sign language. It s so cool to have your "private" language when you know mostly people around do not understand. Me and my husband met in thailand, none of us is thai, but we noth speak some thai. Sometimes when we re in the crowded place and we want to discuss smth personal we switch to thai. I really wish more people in your life who ll make an effort

@nastasiacr3676 4 жыл бұрын
This makes sense. If I pay close attention to her lips I can understand a lot of things she's saying, but otherwise, because I'm used to only listening, the sound is confusing me. In guessing with whispering the sounds will be more in line with her mouth, so it will sound more like us whispering.
@olliert4840 4 жыл бұрын
That's so true, I'm trying to think how you could even imagine the vowell sounds coming out our mouths if you couldn't hear them... whispering reduces speech to mostly consonant sounds which are much less to do with voicebox (which you can't see) and more to do with mouth (which you can see) so it's obvious why deaf people would get whispering more accurate

Yes, it makes me see how important ASL is. Because it would be pretty much impossible for someone without a LOT of practice listening to deaf people to understand anything. I didn't understand any words at all. I think if I met her we would understand each other best by getting a pen and paper. Although even hand gestures would be more useful than spoken language (since I understand exactly nothing of what she says) or ASL (which I know a handful of words but not very many). This motivates me to want to learn more ASL :).

I didn't understand your voice (I thought you said "have mercy" when you meant how much two mins into the video) but it was nice hearing it. I needed to watch this because who knows I might meet someone who signs and talks like you and I need to understand them. This will help I think :) I like your videos and I hope you post more 😆😆😆😆😆

@joshuaw8148 4 жыл бұрын
The best way I can describe what it's like as a hearing person to try to understand your speaking voice is by referencing color. A hearing persons voice could be made up of maybe 10 distinct colors that blend up and down in a gradient depending on their emotions and what they're trying to convey. People that are 100% deaf and have a voice similar to yours, sometimes sound as if they're speaking in only one or two colors that happen to look very similar such as blue and purple. So when listening to you speak for the first time, it can be hard to interpret because of how different it is from a hearing persons voice. But with a little time, it would be like your dad, and be much easier to understand.

Yes, or like writing a paragraph but they only use vowels and maybe one or two consonants. So imagine trying to understand ' es, o ie i-i a a-a-a u ey o-y use o-es' You would need a ton of practice and then you'd still be partly just guessing what made sense to say. For me I basically don't understand anything she says at all, although after I see the subtitles if I go back and listen again I can see how they kind of match. But I wouldn't be able to guess what she was saying without them.

A few were a little hard, but I too was sooo tickled with your daddy…He sure loves you and has tried very hard to learn your language which has also become his language right? I had to laugh at your face when he signed and voiced ‘distracted’ and you showed him how to sign it with ‘F’hands and he signed it with ‘D’s’…That was sooo cute.You were so patient with him. Just a fun video. Thank you
