How do deaf people enjoy music?

How does someone's job make deaf people enjoy music through sign language translation? Amber's job is to do simultaneous interpretation at the concert of hip-hop singers and translate lyrics in sign language, so that those deaf people who like hip-hop music but lose their hearing can appreciate and integrate. Amber's job is very difficult. Because she must not only translate the lyrics into sign language, but also convey the level and rhythm of music. Compared with ordinary simultaneous interpretation, amber "interprets" in concert from facial expressions to body language to the whole body. It is no exaggeration to say that this is already a performance in another sense. As a professional who has a degree in American Sign Language (ASL) and specializes in "Music Performance", Amber has performed more than 300 hip-hop, rock and r& D songs. Act as a sign language interpreter in music performances. She has worked with singers including Spacecraft Smith and Destiny's Child. What moved me most was not the star's aura and stage, but the ordinary person, not the rich second generation, not the unofficial second generation, who didn't look so good and didn't go to a prestigious school. In fact, his early life was bumpy, and he found his dream step by step and realized his dream in a down-to-earth way. When Amber was 18, her mother had a boyfriend, and his son was deaf and dumb. From him, Amber learned the first sign language "camping".

A few years later, her nanny gave birth to two children, both deaf and dumb. Amber learned a lot of American sign language when she helped take care of the baby. Later, Amber went to high school, and a deaf boy from the school sports team became good friends with him. Later, when she was a sophomore, Amber had a serious car accident. When she was in the hospital, her roommate was deaf and dumb, because she didn't hear the car horn and was hit into the hospital (which later led to lameness). Amber soon chatted with the lonely patient through sign language and became good friends.

Amber loves hip-hop music since childhood and is determined to become a well-known white female rapper in China. Adding up this long-cherished wish and God's opinion, Amber immediately found a way to "be together" with the deaf-mutes-to bring rap music to the deaf-mutes in sign language! After graduating from sign language, Amber began to take part in some stage performances. The Americans with Disabilities Act passed by the US Congress 1990 stipulates that all music performances must provide interpreters for the deaf. Deaf people need to contact the organizer at least a few weeks in advance, and once the organizer receives the request, he must go to the corresponding sign language interpreter. The introduction of this bill provides a place for Amber's professional skills to play. Before Amber appeared, the sign language translation of concerts was mostly boring. Sign language translation simply translates lyrics without trying to explain the deep meaning behind them. They are often expressionless or even motionless. However, Amber's translation is full of passion.

Her hands are moving in the air, her mouth and tongue are possessed, and her body is shaking with the rhythm and music. Her passion and style soon conquered the United States and won her big-name hip-hop stars including Snoopy Doug and Lynyrd Skynyrd. After years of hard work, in 20 14 years, Amber finally set up her own company. They gradually gained recognition, expanded their popularity and became special sign language interpreters for concerts in many big cities. Amber attaches great importance to her expression and body language. If you watch her performance video, you will find that she is moving from eyebrows to eyes to shoulders to corners of her mouth. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg. How to accurately "type" the words and meanings in complex rap music in the shortest time is the biggest difficulty. To make deaf people feel the rhythm of music, someone needs to make great efforts, and it is someone's constant efforts.
