he actually understands her BEST out of our family! I think it's a desperation thing though because how well he understands is directly correlated to how well he reads sign! HAHAHAH
my mum (and my deaf ex girlfriend) are the only person I can understand with hearing aids without looking at them, I guess when we grow up with someone you spend all your life with, it's hard not to know your voice.
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
while reading your comment, I realized that I'm reading it with a voice in my head. it's fascinating to me that being born deaf must be like living in a completely different world.
I'm curious. You must've learned British Sign Language, so is American Sign Language (the one used in the video) strange to you? Is there any crossover?
I will be completely honest, I would not have been able to understand you at all. But what made me smile was the fact that your dad knew every single thing you said! He knows you inside and out and its beautiful!❤️
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 :)
My Uncle’s partner is Deaf. Which is why I started learning Auslan. But when I did see her before that, she would read my lips and I would hear her speak. It was either that or we’d write to each other. I started learning ‘cause I didn’t think it was a fair conversation
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.
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
@a wretch in need of grace I'm bilingual. Swedish and English. And I find myself quite often formulating conversations and thoughts in English rather than in Swedish. I even have dreams in English.
@a wretch in need of grace I am bilingual (mom is Pacific islander and dad is American) and I think and dream in both languages, sometimes in the same sentence. On rare occasions I can't understand English at all because my brain disconnects from it. Took an Italian course in college and started dreaming in Italian the whole quarter lol

I have a new foster placement she is 2 and is Profoundly deaf, we as a family are frantically trying to learn to sign to help with her frustration in communication, it is very challenging and also fun, she is very bright and is understanding even my sloppy attempts at signing, seeing how you guy's communicate so beautifully is very inspiring, she has been with us for 3 months now and seeing her face light up when she is understood is a beautiful thing.
Don't give up! She has so much potential! My student is hearing but non-verbal. Forming words is difficult. I'm using some basic signs and the light bulb of understanding is priceless!

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 :).
Anne Marie sad... but I can talk like normally with my bilateral cochlear implants. Everyone in my school or work or public places or my home or others place are able to understand me what I say. Only 1% of people cannot understand deaf people’s voice. Same happened to me but I can understand her.
That's hilarious that you thought people speak by saying all the letters. When I was 5 years old, my kindergarten teacher taught us the signs for all the letters and *I thought people who signed went letter by letter*; I also could not understand how people could sign that fast when they had to spell out every word!
If English had a better spelling system, that belief would be close to the truth. /ɪf ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ hæd ə bɛtəɹ 'spɛlɪŋ sɪstəm | ðæt biˈliːf wʊd bi kloʊ̯s tə ðə truːθ/
I didn't understand 95% of what you said but I saw a bond between a father and daughter and how much he loves you that you just have to murmur and he understands everything 😭❤️
Just had to weigh in on the fact that though I can’t understand a word she said, but her laugh is 100% as natural as any hearing person, and THAT is amazing, because it’s the same in all languages, for deaf and speaking. Amazing
Looking at him smiling, paying close attention to every single detail and nailing down every single word/sentence just made my day a little brighter. I’m so glad you have someone like that in your life and I’m sure you both represent a great deal to one another. He’s just, happy, as anyone could ever be. Thank you for reminding us all how beautiful that is.
After a couple of minutes of hearing you speak I could understand you! I think it just takes a moment of listening and watching your mouth 😊 You speak so well, it must have been exhausting trying to learn!
I love your dad! He seems so sweet. A lot of parents don't even attempt to learn sign language, and here he is, sim-comming to the best of his ability! You both seem very smart and very kind. Also I love how clear he is. Even if his signing isnt 100% perfect (Nobody expects it to be) he doesn't mumble, and he knows what he's doing. I love this video!
I taught my sister how to say words by placing her hand on my neck and talking and have her feel the vibrations and having her place her hand on her neck to mimic the vibrations the best she can. Thats how my sister learned.
Linda Holmes same to me when speech therapist and my parents did it to me when I got my first cochlear implant when I was 5 I learned how to hear and talk. Now I have bilateral cochlear implants and can talk and sign.
It is interesting that you said "ummm" I always thought that sound was a learned/repeated vocal sound when a person is thinking what to say. It never occurred to me that a person that never heard that sound would make it. I learned something. RUclips's auto-translated captions defaulted to Dutch.
That’s an interesting phenomenon. My father would always get angry at me for adding in speech disfluencies. I rarely use them nowadays, so I think it’s a learned behavior, as this creator attests to. They are useful, of course, to indicate a thoughtful pause is imminent - everything in moderation.
@@vincelestrade3758 I took a public speaking course in college, as the students were speaking in front of the class the professor would throw a large bolt into a metal garbage can every time someone said "ummm". This created a loud, unpleasant, distracting noise. After the third of forth student I don't think any student said "ummm". Whenever I hear "ummm" I 'hear' the bolt being thrown into the garbage can. That sound sticks out to me and I was surprised that Ashley learned it.
I love hearing your voice, Ashley. The more I hear your voice, especially within this video, the more I could understand you. I remember when I first started watching your videos, your dad would always remind you to use your voice. The bathroom part made me almost spit my water out while laughing!! 😂 Excited to watch Part 2!!
I enjoyed hearing your story. Thank you. I have had several deaf friends so I've been exposed to their speech patterns. I also have a friend who had a stroke while in utero, prior to beimg born and as a result he has a severe speech impairment. I always want to hear him speak though there are times I have trouble understanding. I loved hearing your voice but equally was mesmerized by the sign language. I'm trying to learn ASL. Thank you for verbalizing your story for us.
@@russellfitzgerald2957 I understood over half of what she said and this is the first video of hers that I have ever seen. But it's important for her to use her voice because it's only going to get better and better the more she uses it. Nobody has used there voice perfectly without practice and repetition, it's a process of learning
@@russellfitzgerald2957 umm.. That's not what I had in mind. I mean it's great if she could use her voice as she sign along. So for people like me who's newly exposed to asl, can at least try to pick up what she's trying to communicate with her signing through "hints" from her voice.
Russell Fitzgerald You have to listen closely, more than youre used to. She gets some words right, but sometimes stops in the middle of the pronunciation and cuts the word short.
and this is why i want to learn ASL. if i ever met a deaf person, i would want them to feel more comfortable. because i assume its like speaking your non-native tongue.
Yes! To be perfectly honest, it takes some effort to understand you since I've rarely heard your voice, but I know if we spent time talking I would learn the nuances of you speech patterns and it would be a piece of cake. I catch many of your words, but not all. I try to listen to the whole sentence and the words then come together. Please be patient with us! There is a person in my building at work who is deaf and it took a good long while for me to become familiar with his speech pattern, but we now communicate pretty well. Your videos inspired me to at least learn some basic ASL. Please don't be nervous, you're doing great! I wish I could sign one tenth as well as you speak And dad isn't doing too bad himself! :o)
Yes, it takes effort to understand my voice. 😅 My Dad is the only one in the family that can really understand my voice. I don’t really use my voice with my sisters, only with my parents. But thank you for watching anyways!! 😄 And for taking the time to learn some basic sign language, you’re awesome!! 🤗
As someone who is not in the deaf community I can only imagine people immediately blowing up on you and calling other people over to help and calling you stupid for sounding this way and I just want so badly to help her somehow so those things won't happen. I'm sure they do quite often if she's trying to be independent and living in a world of people who can't sign.
I believe that most people have good intentions, but if they have never spent time with someone with a disability, their words & actions can be awkward and probably a bit offensive. I admire this young lady for helping to bring us non-disabled (is that a word??) into an interaction with people who are "different" than us, and helping us to understand how we can better interact with deaf/hard of hearing people who undoubtedly have so much to offer if we would just take the time to actually get to know them. :o)
@@h.collier3544 heya! Just a random factoid; non-disabled folks are just called "abled" I believe. Or "able-bodied" if they don't have a full on physical disability or chronic illness
Your dad is so enthusiastic about his signing, it's really sweet to see. I'm currently learning ASL so I can talk to my uncle without a paper and pen 😂 it's really nice to see how passionate he is about paying attention to every word and making it very precise. ❤
@@clairee4939 ok so i reread it a couple times and now im starting to see why... im sorry for offending you. i changed it so it wouldnt bother anyone bc now that i look at it i guess i misspoke in a way. again i apologize.
Great video. The interaction between the two of you is wonderful. As for understanding your "deaf voice". At first I couldn't, but after listening about 5 minutes I found I could understand almost half of what you said. What I found most interesting was the off-handed comments you made to your father were very clear and even had the cadence and expression one would find in a hearing person's delivery of those phrases. Sounds at the beginnings of words were clear whether starting with a consonant, vowel, or even TH. But endings of words became muddled. If a word had multiple syllables, sometimes the consonant starting a second syllable would get lost - even though you could pronounce that same consonant well if it was the first sound of the word.
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.
I am always excited when you use your voice! I know not everyone is able to enjoy hearing it, but it's distinctly your voice, and just like anyone else's face I can tell it's you from hearing it! To be honest, it can be a little hard to understand, but thank you for sharing!
Ashley! Wow! I work in the Deaf community full-time, and I gotta say, I am so impressed. Your voice is awesome, and the diction for someone who is profoundly Deaf is so, so good! I understood you very well. Got nothing on your dad though, that's just super special.
I understood a few small words here and there, but it was so helpful that your dad was there to interpret. I understood more after he interpreted. Your father seems like a very sweet and caring man, with the patience to work with you!
Thanks for sharing. :) And he is the most patient and nicest person I know!! 😌 I'm blessed and thankful to have him as my Dad- I can't imagine not being able to communicate with my parents as that's the reality for many deaf children / adults. :-/
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 😆😆😆😆😆
I do need to practice more! 😄 So glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching!! And yes, I plan to post more videos!! 😅 Starting with once a week!!
I heard "have mercy," too! Which made me happy because it made me picture John Stamos for a moment. And, really, aren't we all a little happier when we picture John Stamos? ;)
Ashley, you’re so blessed to have a father like yours! People who aren’t deaf always have problems understanding each other, which makes me think that it’s probably love that is so integral to any good communication. It’s great to see two individuals in perfect communication. This makes me want to try harder at my language studies!
I'm with Lindsey Hazel, I love your voice, and the confidence you have in yourself really shines through. Your both fun to watch and learn from so thank you for sharing. Videos like this make me understand how easy it is to talk to the deaf or hard of hearing person.
"Videos like this make me understand how easy it is to talk to the deaf or hard of hearing person." -- Love this!! Yes!! It doesn't have to be perfect!! :) And thank you for your kind words.
I didn’t understand anything you said but what surprise me and fill me with joy is how your Dad knew every single world. It’s amazing. He loves you so much ❤️
i love how your dad naturally knew what you meant. 💕 i personally would love for you to try to speak and sign when you film. i'm not deaf or hard of hearing, but i'm trying to learn, and i don't know why, but i learn better when the person is speaking while signing. i don't know 😅 I'm new to this and i am going to take classes soon! keep up what you're doing! 💕🥰🤟🏼
It was so sweet how excited your dad got, feeling like he did such a good job! He was so proud. I think it’s so special and valuable you have a family who care so much about being able to communicate with you! You are a lucky woman. ❤️
I think one of the most fascinating thigs in this is how she uses the word, "Umm" truly fascinating how even a deaf person who speaks, but doesn't truly speak, uses a word like "umm", a meaningless word really, but still used!
I think sign is one of the most beautiful languages.. I understood some but, I always get lost in wonder and awe when I see sign. How amazing to share! And I love the connection you and your dad share.
My GAWD!!! As an ASL student, understanding "Deaf Speak" is an honor. To show 'hearies' the beauty of Deaf speak is miraculous! I will always be here to champion
Hi Ashley, I’m an interpreter here in Ohio and I understood most of your voice. 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
so true! When I start speaking english, many people told me about my accent, I didn't notice, :) and sometimes i was shy cuz I didn't know if someone could understand me. also repeat the same word trying to make it sound as perfect as posible. so I see your video and what your dad said. so true. I'm trying to learn asl and I'm get lost sometimes cuz they sign really fast. the same as learn any new language.
What’s interesting to me is that I found it easier to read your lips than listen with audio. I can’t imagine how hard this would be. Maybe like drawing without being able to see. There’s so many mouth shapes that look exactly the same but are different cause the changing position of the tongue that’s hidden by lips/teeth. This is really impressive!
Ashley,I am so taken a back by you. I love your teaching. I do not use anyone else's video. Thank you for helping those of us who are losing their hearing and learning all. Love to you!
I love how the father understand every single words her daughter have said. That alone have touched my heart so deeply. Father and daughter are just pure love.
The rest of us should learn to sign. It isn’t right that Deaf people have to do all hard work to communicate and we hearing people expect them to and we don’t try to learn to communicate. Ashley I think your voice volume is perfect. Not too loud or too soft. I could understand many of your words.

Deference 👌🏿
I didn't understand 95% of what you said but I saw a bond between a father and daughter and how much he loves you that you just have to murmur and he understands everything 😭❤️
Anyone else hear him say “spingerfell” instead of fingerspell, haha. You guys are such a joy to watch. :)
What a good spoonerism
I just noticed that lol
I caught that too lol
Did not catch that. My brain interpreted it as finger spell. lol. Had to watch it back because I didn’t believe you. Lol.
I heard that too but I thought my brain just heard it wrong lol
Awww your father is very good at signing. I’m impressed with him. I applaud him.
Just had to weigh in on the fact that though I can’t understand a word she said, but her laugh is 100% as natural as any hearing person, and THAT is amazing, because it’s the same in all languages, for deaf and speaking. Amazing
Tiny Ford That’s a great observation :)
I loved her laugh. May I add I think souls can understand one another solely by facial expressions, it's just understood by everybody
Because we all smile in the same language :)
Fun fact: Laughter is a response from the basal ganglia in the brain, not part of the auditory system. Its an innate response, so everyone laughs! :)
@@hamishwatto3421 That's cool
I can't imagine how hard it is to learn how to speak when you can't hear. You did an incredible job!
Looking at him smiling, paying close attention to every single detail and nailing down every single word/sentence just made my day a little brighter. I’m so glad you have someone like that in your life and I’m sure you both represent a great deal to one another. He’s just, happy, as anyone could ever be. Thank you for reminding us all how beautiful that is.
Cavalcanti Neto well said!!!
Br?
this video made me realize that people can talk and be deaf. your dad obviously shows how much he loves you too
Damn, her dad is going lightning with those signs
He’s about to summon a shadow clown jitsu
@@guccimane6116 clown? (✦__✦)ﾉ 🃏 XD
Hahahahahaahhahahahaahahhahahahahahahhaha
Feel like he was part of a gang or something, lol.
After a couple of minutes of hearing you speak I could understand you! I think it just takes a moment of listening and watching your mouth 😊 You speak so well, it must have been exhausting trying to learn!
I agree it took me a minute to
I found the room they were in had too much echo, other wise I too was starting to catch on.
Frankly speaking, I don't understand what she's saying. I think, us hearing persons, should learn sign language instead.
YOUR DAD IS ADORABLE. ADORABLE, I SAY.
I love your dad! He seems so sweet. A lot of parents don't even attempt to learn sign language, and here he is, sim-comming to the best of his ability! You both seem very smart and very kind. Also I love how clear he is. Even if his signing isnt 100% perfect (Nobody expects it to be) he doesn't mumble, and he knows what he's doing. I love this video!
I taught my sister how to say words by placing her hand on my neck and talking and have her feel the vibrations and having her place her hand on her neck to mimic the vibrations the best she can. Thats how my sister learned.
Linda Holmes same to me when speech therapist and my parents did it to me when I got my first cochlear implant when I was 5 I learned how to hear and talk.
Now I have bilateral cochlear implants and can talk and sign.
I can Imagine having this guy as a professional Sign language teacher.
Yessssss
Your father is amazing and knows you very well. I could not understand a single thing, except the word "sorry".
He said “if not, I’ll spinger-fell” that is hilarious
It is interesting that you said "ummm" I always thought that sound was a learned/repeated vocal sound when a person is thinking what to say. It never occurred to me that a person that never heard that sound would make it. I learned something.
RUclips's auto-translated captions defaulted to Dutch.
Actually, I learned that ("um") from hearing people... from them writing "um" and also seeing "um" on TV (closed captions). :)
Signed With Heart Same here (i’m deaf as well)
Walt B. Yeah it sounded like it was natural but different languages say it differently so it would have to be learned.
That’s an interesting phenomenon. My father would always get angry at me for adding in speech disfluencies. I rarely use them nowadays, so I think it’s a learned behavior, as this creator attests to. They are useful, of course, to indicate a thoughtful pause is imminent - everything in moderation.
@@vincelestrade3758 I took a public speaking course in college, as the students were speaking in front of the class the professor would throw a large bolt into a metal garbage can every time someone said "ummm". This created a loud, unpleasant, distracting noise. After the third of forth student I don't think any student said "ummm".
Whenever I hear "ummm" I 'hear' the bolt being thrown into the garbage can. That sound sticks out to me and I was surprised that Ashley learned it.
You two are so sweet together. Your dad looks like the greatest dad in the world!
This Dad is blessed with such a beautiful daughter
Aw, you're so sweet! Thank you! :)
What a great dad and sweet daughter
I love hearing your voice, Ashley. The more I hear your voice, especially within this video, the more I could understand you. I remember when I first started watching your videos, your dad would always remind you to use your voice. The bathroom part made me almost spit my water out while laughing!! 😂 Excited to watch Part 2!!
You're so sweet, thank you 😌 And haha! Dad is funny!! 😄
I enjoyed hearing your story. Thank you. I have had several deaf friends so I've been exposed to their speech patterns. I also have a friend who had a stroke while in utero, prior to beimg born and as a result he has a severe speech impairment. I always want to hear him speak though there are times I have trouble understanding. I loved hearing your voice but equally was mesmerized by the sign language. I'm trying to learn ASL. Thank you for verbalizing your story for us.
The word "bathroom" was really easy to understand! As was "sorry". I guess those words truly are more important lol
Lindsey Hazel u are right her voice is nice, and people get use to it as much as she use it.......nice people otound... i wonder how they learned it..
Yesss yess!! So agree!!!
He's a good dad, I inspire to be just like him one day 👍
Aspire*
1:21 he says spingerfell 😂💓 this is cute
Hahah 😄 I showed my Dad your comment earlier tonight and we rewatched that video clip. 😆
She is so beautiful and sweet!
The more I listened to your voice the easier it became to understand you. We love your voice!!
I agree! After a couple of minutes of listening I could understand her along with watching her mouth to see what she is pronouncing!
She totally talked in her best , and I understood like 80%!! I feel really touched
Your dad signs JUST LIKE my dad. They have so much passion! Love you!❤️
Dads are the best signers!! 😄
Thumbs up for Michael Scott
Deaf person: Signs that they will kill me.
My dumbass: Ah yes, the weather is nice today.
I love the way your dad sign, when I see other people on RUclips sign it’s not as strong as his
Very understandable for new learners
@@HyukBurgersTV yesssss. And he did it slowly, so it made it easier to distinguish he sign word for word
Well done. All the speech therapy and exercise taught you well. You do very well. Keep it up! ✅️🥳👏👏👏🫶
This put a huge smile on my face.
There's no need to feel awkward about using your voice. You've got a lovely voice!
Aw! 💛 So glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks so much!! ☺️
Ehhhhh how are we supposed to understand it tho?? Theres nothing wrong with using ur voice but we cant understand lol no offence
@@russellfitzgerald2957 I understood over half of what she said and this is the first video of hers that I have ever seen. But it's important for her to use her voice because it's only going to get better and better the more she uses it. Nobody has used there voice perfectly without practice and repetition, it's a process of learning
@@russellfitzgerald2957 umm.. That's not what I had in mind. I mean it's great if she could use her voice as she sign along. So for people like me who's newly exposed to asl, can at least try to pick up what she's trying to communicate with her signing through "hints" from her voice.
Russell Fitzgerald You have to listen closely, more than youre used to. She gets some words right, but sometimes stops in the middle of the pronunciation and cuts the word short.
and this is why i want to learn ASL. if i ever met a deaf person, i would want them to feel more comfortable. because i assume its like speaking your non-native tongue.
Yes! To be perfectly honest, it takes some effort to understand you since I've rarely heard your voice, but I know if we spent time talking I would learn the nuances of you speech patterns and it would be a piece of cake. I catch many of your words, but not all. I try to listen to the whole sentence and the words then come together. Please be patient with us! There is a person in my building at work who is deaf and it took a good long while for me to become familiar with his speech pattern, but we now communicate pretty well. Your videos inspired me to at least learn some basic ASL. Please don't be nervous, you're doing great! I wish I could sign one tenth as well as you speak And dad isn't doing too bad himself! :o)
Yes, it takes effort to understand my voice. 😅 My Dad is the only one in the family that can really understand my voice. I don’t really use my voice with my sisters, only with my parents. But thank you for watching anyways!! 😄 And for taking the time to learn some basic sign language, you’re awesome!! 🤗
As someone who is not in the deaf community I can only imagine people immediately blowing up on you and calling other people over to help and calling you stupid for sounding this way and I just want so badly to help her somehow so those things won't happen. I'm sure they do quite often if she's trying to be independent and living in a world of people who can't sign.
I believe that most people have good intentions, but if they have never spent time with someone with a disability, their words & actions can be awkward and probably a bit offensive. I admire this young lady for helping to bring us non-disabled (is that a word??) into an interaction with people who are "different" than us, and helping us to understand how we can better interact with deaf/hard of hearing people who undoubtedly have so much to offer if we would just take the time to actually get to know them. :o)
@@h.collier3544 heya! Just a random factoid; non-disabled folks are just called "abled" I believe. Or "able-bodied" if they don't have a full on physical disability or chronic illness
Your dad is so enthusiastic about his signing, it's really sweet to see. I'm currently learning ASL so I can talk to my uncle without a paper and pen 😂 it's really nice to see how passionate he is about paying attention to every word and making it very precise. ❤
Wow that her Dad makes her laugh and funny
Very rarely to have that kind of Dad
You are very lucky to have him like glue with you
this made me cry... i really admire their relationship. they are so connected with each other. kind of reminds me of my dad in a way 🤗

I love that your dad looks like a quirky professor 😍😍
Haha, thanks!! 😄 And thanks again for watching!!
Great video. The interaction between the two of you is wonderful.
As for understanding your "deaf voice". At first I couldn't, but after listening about 5 minutes I found I could understand almost half of what you said. What I found most interesting was the off-handed comments you made to your father were very clear and even had the cadence and expression one would find in a hearing person's delivery of those phrases. Sounds at the beginnings of words were clear whether starting with a consonant, vowel, or even TH. But endings of words became muddled. If a word had multiple syllables, sometimes the consonant starting a second syllable would get lost - even though you could pronounce that same consonant well if it was the first sound of the word.
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.
I've never thought about that before! Sounds like a form of synesthesia
@@justadumb8864 I think it's just a metaphor. It doesn't mean they actually see colours, they're just describing why it's difficult 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.
you're the best for sharing this!!!!!! love you!
I am always excited when you use your voice! I know not everyone is able to enjoy hearing it, but it's distinctly your voice, and just like anyone else's face I can tell it's you from hearing it! To be honest, it can be a little hard to understand, but thank you for sharing!
Aw! You're so nice! ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Ashley...thank you so much for sharing.
Ashley! Wow! I work in the Deaf community full-time, and I gotta say, I am so impressed. Your voice is awesome, and the diction for someone who is profoundly Deaf is so, so good! I understood you very well. Got nothing on your dad though, that's just super special.
Iam bamboozled by your beauty and smitten by your smile and positivity, God bless you both.
9:33 “and he... that’s me!” he cracks me up😂 you guys are both awesome!
Hahah 😄 Thanks, so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!!
Her voice is so sweet and beautiful
I understood a few small words here and there, but it was so helpful that your dad was there to interpret. I understood more after he interpreted. Your father seems like a very sweet and caring man, with the patience to work with you!
Thanks for sharing. :) And he is the most patient and nicest person I know!! 😌 I'm blessed and thankful to have him as my Dad- I can't imagine not being able to communicate with my parents as that's the reality for many deaf children / adults. :-/
I love your voice 🎉such a beautiful story 😢 thank you for sharing it❤
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 😆😆😆😆😆
I do need to practice more! 😄 So glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching!! And yes, I plan to post more videos!! 😅 Starting with once a week!!
I heard "have mercy," too! Which made me happy because it made me picture John Stamos for a moment. And, really, aren't we all a little happier when we picture John Stamos? ;)
@@jennhoff03 omg thought that too! Glad wasn't the only 1!
Ashley, you’re so blessed to have a father like yours! People who aren’t deaf always have problems understanding each other, which makes me think that it’s probably love that is so integral to any good communication. It’s great to see two individuals in perfect communication. This makes me want to try harder at my language studies!
I'm with Lindsey Hazel, I love your voice, and the confidence you have in yourself really shines through. Your both fun to watch and learn from so thank you for sharing. Videos like this make me understand how easy it is to talk to the deaf or hard of hearing person.
Moon Rising ♥️♥️♥️♥️
"Videos like this make me understand how easy it is to talk to the deaf or hard of hearing person." -- Love this!! Yes!! It doesn't have to be perfect!! :) And thank you for your kind words.
To those with father's you are lucky. Enjoy every moment.
Blew my mind when u said u thought words were spelled out when others spoke....Wow. Cool video. Your voice is awesome 😀
Same here! It's obvious that a deaf person would think that initially, now that I know - but it never occurred to me
I didn’t understand anything you said but what surprise me and fill me with joy is how your Dad knew every single world. It’s amazing. He loves you so much ❤️
i love how your dad naturally knew what you meant. 💕 i personally would love for you to try to speak and sign when you film. i'm not deaf or hard of hearing, but i'm trying to learn, and i don't know why, but i learn better when the person is speaking while signing. i don't know 😅 I'm new to this and i am going to take classes soon! keep up what you're doing! 💕🥰🤟🏼
7:00
"Are you using your voice?" =_=
"...yes." o_o
"Just making sure." -_-
Such a genuine moment there.
It was so sweet how excited your dad got, feeling like he did such a good job! He was so proud. I think it’s so special and valuable you have a family who care so much about being able to communicate with you! You are a lucky woman. ❤️
I'm very thankful!! Thank you
I think one of the most fascinating thigs in this is how she uses the word, "Umm" truly fascinating how even a deaf person who speaks, but doesn't truly speak, uses a word like "umm", a meaningless word really, but still used!
Your dad is so sweet. He's working so hard and his love for you shines through. That's lovely.
If only I had a dad that actually cared enough to even be here😂 I’m happy for her
I would love to watch more videos like this. I think you have a beautiful voice and your dad is awesome! He was a great interpreter.
I think sign is one of the most beautiful languages.. I understood some but, I always get lost in wonder and awe when I see sign. How amazing to share! And I love the connection you and your dad share.
I love that the dad can talk but he still whispers most of the time
Power of her dad's love make it possible. Plus God is great!!!
I'm not sure how this ended up in my recommended, but I am so glad it did.
My GAWD!!! As an ASL student, understanding "Deaf Speak" is an honor. To show 'hearies' the beauty of Deaf speak is miraculous! I will always be here to champion
Hi Ashley, I’m an interpreter here in Ohio and I understood most of your voice. 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
Your dad is so attentive that's literally the sweetest thing
so true! When I start speaking english, many people told me about my accent, I didn't notice, :) and sometimes i was shy cuz I didn't know if someone could understand me. also repeat the same word trying to make it sound as perfect as posible. so I see your video and what your dad said. so true. I'm trying to learn asl and I'm get lost sometimes cuz they sign really fast. the same as learn any new language.
If I could be anywhere near as good of a dad as this guy i would seriously be achieving something. What a good guy.
What’s interesting to me is that I found it easier to read your lips than listen with audio. I can’t imagine how hard this would be. Maybe like drawing without being able to see. There’s so many mouth shapes that look exactly the same but are different cause the changing position of the tongue that’s hidden by lips/teeth. This is really impressive!
You have a wonderful dad, the love he have for you is so great. All the best to your future. God bless you and your family.
I loved the video and just adore your dad!!!
Yay!! 😄 Thanks!! So glad you enjoyed the video!!
You have a fantastic Dad!
It is super amazing that your dad can understand you.
Right?! I think that's so awesome that he can understand me!! Which is a part of the reason why I wanted to film this video- to show you guys! 😄
Ashley,I am so taken a back by you. I love your teaching. I do not use anyone else's video. Thank you for helping those of us who are losing their hearing and learning all. Love to you!
Both of my maternal grandparents are deaf, so I was able to understand you but I feel like I have a lot of practice so maybe I don’t count! Lol
Haha, you do count!! 😄 Thank you for telling me! It makes sense! :)
I can’t understand a single thing you say. You got to be super thankful to have such a wonderful and supportive father!!!
Watched this while someone was cutting onions around me
I love how the father understand every single words her daughter have said. That alone have touched my heart so deeply. Father and daughter are just pure love.
The rest of us should learn to sign. It isn’t right that Deaf people have to do all hard work to communicate and we hearing people expect them to and we don’t try to learn to communicate.
Ashley I think your voice volume is perfect. Not too loud or too soft. I could understand many of your words.
Beautiful lady and wonderful father. Warms my heart. Thank you for sharing!
It seams like using your voice is exhausting for you.
Would make sense if she is not used to using her voice. Those muscles barely get any work so they would be stiff
Eriml that’s true!
It's exhausting for everyone, even non-deaf people
I could watch your Dad sign all day 😍😍 the purpose and intent he puts into his signing is beautiful!!
Your dad looks like he came out of a Norman Rockwell painting
This made me cry! It's clear how much your father loves you. I love the relationship you both have.
