    I'm not the only one who thinks they're all attractive, am I? And participating in something like this (as both a deaf or a hearing person) makes them even more attractive...

      Karen Fajardo On Broadway or well-funded regional theatres, there will be special performances where a translator is provided to translate the dialogue/lyrics, and for blind audiences they can listen to a descriptive audio accompaniment during the show to know things like location/costume/etc.

      Look up Beethoven's Nightmare, all Deaf Rock Band. Also look up CJ Jones (Actor/Comedian, TL Formsberg, and Sean Forbes. You can also see a movie called "See What I'm Saying" Deaf/HOH (Hard of Hearing) can enjoy anything a hearing person can.. :)

    Argh people in the comments - get your facts straight!! Sign language is NOT universal, it is different in every country and some countries even have more than one sign language. Also sign language isn't based on the spoken language of a certain country. So for an example the sign order is usually different from the word order of a certain language. Deaf people CAN speak if they are willing to practice, but many of them don't want to learn it, which is understandable since sign language is their natural language. Sign language isn't just some kind of language aid that some one has come up with to help deaf people. Sign languages are completely natural languages that have developed by themselves in the deaf communities around the world.

    • @sarahg1663
      @sarahg1663 6 лет назад +16

      Muikkinen Also keep in mind that not every deaf person knows sign language. Many carry on through their day just fine by reading lips, and using other methods. Sign language has to be learned, just like any other language.

    Having seen the broadway, first national, second national and regional productions of Spring Awakening, I have to say that the Deaf West's version by far the best version I've seen of the show. I've been a die hard "Guilty One" (SA Fan), of the show and casts. This adaptation however brings a whole different element to not just the story-telling process, but the actual story of miscommunication, angst, and just wanting to be heard. Bravo to this production and so glad to see it highlighted on such a notable pop-culture based medium such as Buzzed.

    I myself am hearing impaired. I was born deaf and my mom didn't find out until I was two years old. Right now I'm thirteen and throughout the years, my mom has fought to keep me happy. When I was about six or seven, a school I was going to kept trying to get me to learn sign language and my mom didn't want that. Thinking about that back then, I wanted to be able to use my voice rather than my hands to speak. Of course I hated being deaf and I still do, as it makes me wish I wasn't, but either way that's who I am so I can't change that about myself.
    Since I'm hearing impaired, I can hear a little.
    Some of my friends are jealous of me because I can just take my hearing aids out whenever it's storming or there's something I don't want to hear. I can kind of hear the storms even with my hearing aids off, but that depends on how loud it is.
    This video made me happy.

I wish a lot more people were involved with the deaf community and knew sign language, it's a pretty cool language to learn.

    I like how when the voice actor is explaining something the deaf actor is just nodding.

    My dad is deaf, and when I showed this to him it made his day because people a actually willing to incorporate the Deaf and hearing to make music. I think that this is wonderful! We can't see it though because we are to far away :( , but keep doing what you guys are doing, and you will please many people

    • @BaileyH

      He's probably not translating it. I think someone translated it and wrote it down but he could know asl but I doubt it because it was a voice over

      They had interpreters during the interview. Keith probably took what the interpreter said and just repeated it for the purposes of this video.

    I love this so much. My sister's fiance is deaf and I love to do musicals and perform. He's never been able to see me or any musical because he can't follow along. This makes me so happy to see and I hope in the future we all will see more productions like this for him to enjoy like we all do :)

      Yes: my sister was born deaf (just like all of my family) and no: no one in my family or her has ever gone to a special school but she began speech lessons when she was like 2 (finished when she was about 6)... I think it's a little bit of an over-generalization to say that they must go to a special school to learn how to speak... I'm sure some do but probably not as many as you think.
