I think we really need more interpreters like her, that know how to sign musically, not just put song lyrics into ASL.

I love that there's a culture being made for creative signing. Especially to music. It just makes sense that you don't want to just communicate the 1s and 0s of the words, but the emotions behind the art.

I'm deaf and while this is a "uplifting" video, interpreting music is kinda made up. normally, when a interpreter/deaf hear/read a word that not translatable we finger spell it but that would look funny and ineffective while interpreting music. therefore, the interpreter makes up a sign that no one know so unless there's some kind of standardized music sign language, every interpreter would be different. I seen dozens of "music" interpreting and I can only understand maybe 10% to 40% of it.

Music is more about enjoying the sounds rather than understanding the lyrics. So the deaf version of music would probably also be more about enjoying the flow of the moves like a dance rather than understanding the lyrics. And just as hearing people may not like the sound of some music, even if they find the lyrics good, deaf people can totally also not like the moves of a 'singer'.

@mars7612

For one, music for the hearing world is also similar in that aspect. Many things in songs are made up or very abstract. Also, a good interpreter shouldn't be using "made up signs", they should be using full ASL with unique and descriptive classifiers and expression.

It makes things like even having a group lunch with friends difficult because the conversation is so static I can't hear enough to participate and just shake my head the whole time to pretend. I have to have closed captioning to comprehend movies and shows... and even though I can appreciate music- I can rarely actually understand most lyrics even in the most coherent songs.

Amber has incredible talent to be able to match her signs with the music in the rhythm. I shudder when I imagine how much time and practice it takes to be able to sign one full song, not to mention many more songs in a concert. Kudos to these people, I'm comfortable knowing that there are people in the world willing to bring the emotions of music to the deaf.

I think what was especially interesting to me was the linguistic structure and syntax of ASL as its own fully-formed language, so fascinating

4:46 that was sick to be honest..that was lit for sure

I’ve been to deaf events for my asl class and the music their is louder then any concert I’ve been too. Since dead people can’t hear the sound they love to feel the sound so the bass is turned up 100000% And the whole floor vibrates

I enjoy hearing a song along with the special way she signs . She is amazing

Man, I'm a huge fan of her work! Loved that you guys did a piece on her! Just as a sidenote (and this is coming from someone with *no* hearing disability, so I may very well be wrong) - the video editing seems to be targeted to folks like me. There are many moments in the video that show two concomitant text outputs, which is not very welcoming if you have to take in the whole thing with your eyes only.

Omg, that's awesome!!! Faith in humanity a little bit restored :')

that’s amazing, and how passionate she is about giving music to the people who can’t hear it. that’s beautiful.

I am so inspired by these people. I’ve learned about 4 songs in ASL and it’s difficult. I know Believer, OCD song, Dollhouse, and Death of A Bachelor. I just started learning last year, but I’m trying to learn as quick as possible with still being accurate because I want a job that allows me to translate ASL.

YES VOX 👏

You should've seen her videos. SHE'S ICONIC.

I was at burning man and I witnessed a group of deaf friends show up to a super heavy bass set and they all laid down near the speakers together and could feel the music,they were all smiling laughing and signing about how amazing it was. It was beautiful.

I love how she incorporates her hands like she would do in sign language. I feel like I am communicating with her in an intimate way. Thank you for being amazing.

She is a literal hero as far as I am concerned, and I am not even deaf. This just gives deaf people and deaf culture one more way to be included without having to necessarily force the notion of "fixing" or "intervening" medically to restore hearing, because many hearing people who don't understand the culture do not understand why anyone would choose against intervention (for example a cochlear implant) and would cite missing out on music as a good example of what you sacrifice- but that is NOT true! What this woman is doing for deaf music has essentially the same function and pleasurable payoff as the mechanism of a beautifully crafted metaphor does to language.

I really love how she's signing as she's speaking; catching the bits of 'OK' and 'up-to-now' and 'must,' the listing on her hands as she moves from point to point; it really resonates with me as someone whose asl bleeds into my regular speech (or replaces it when i'm nonverbal).

Subtitles: *music* Deaf people: *starts dancing like crazy*

I love ASL. Its so beautiful I want learn

Hey Amber - you're the best! - in so many ways. Thank you from Australia. My daughter in Oz did a workshop with you while she was studying Auslan and she was so inspired by you and your attitude. All the best. You are a joy to watch and I'm not even a rap fan :)

I love how passionate she is and the way she signs is amazing!

*This woman is a rock star!*

Come here to see if she can do rap, not disappointed, quite impressed!

I love her. Everytime I had to sign a song for class I would look at her videos to help me with expressions and interpretations. Absolutely amazing😀

Oh WOW! THIS IS FABULOUS!!! My best friend( since I was 6, now 50!) had both deaf parents. We were inseparable, and I became very good at signing, with her family( her family had special signs that were only theirs, like my name was a letter G, and shake it. We'd lazily sign, and be scolded we built half a house haha , because the sign take 2 hands. My friend is an interpreter, but doesn't get much work. I will show her this, and she can jam with the best of em. She'd be perfect. We use to sign songs all the time! But I love the personality added. This is so beautiful. I only wish her parents could be alive to experience it. Her dad could hear high pitch screech, and we'd come home to find him listening to radio ,slightly off the channel, and static. He'd be listening, with his hand on the radio. We loved to expose him to our music. Chili Peppers have been my favorite band since I was 17, now I'm 50, and still my fav. They have great bass( Flea) for deaf to enjoy. Bravo to you!!! I'm so excited and want to see you in action.

Omg Amber! I know her she is my Mom's interpreter at lollapalooza!

I'm taking an ASL class at my high school, and it's so cool to see this stuff. I'm doing a project where I have to sign a whole song, and it's fun yet difficult.

This was so super interesting! As a musician, I am surprised of how I never questioned myself about this issue and I think this lady is doing an awesome job. What a beautiful way to spend your life

Lizzie Rings To be quite honest, I wasn't going to say anything but since you brought it up, black people have been doing this forever. When black folks. are called upon to sign to music, especially af-american music, they do all of this. They don't just interpret the words. It's not a new thing, they just do.

@@germyw Where did you hear that false information?

I’m an asl student wanting to be an interpreter and this kind of interpreter is hard to find their are so many that don’t take the time to do this

That was so much fun to watch, I feel it adds so much to the music. I don't enjoy rap that much but I had to watch again that rap interpretation. I imagine that for dead people, seeing this interpretation instead of just the literal translation of the lyrics must feel like the diference between just reading the lyrics vs actually hearing the song. Hope more interpreters start doing this because it was so much fun and deaf people deserve it.

Sooooo freakin awesome!!!! I've been drumming for over 15 yrs, and have deaf siblings. Well I had a deaf little sis who passed but my little bro is here and deaf as well. I've always wanted them to be able to enjoy music like I do. I know they feel the vibrations, and can hear some low tones, but for me that couldn't be enough. This definitely will help bridge the gap so the deaf can enjoy music somewhat similarly to us with the gift of hearing. Never take anything you have for granted. Love u all

You lost a perfect opportunity to rickroll the viewers who don't know sign language. smh

She does do that, that's literally her entire job 😂 Also, it's called ASL, it's a language. It's not "that ASL thing".

We watch some of her videos in my ASL class! Great to learn more about her!

I’m a sign language interpreter in the making... this lady inspires me to bring my skills up to a whole new level in order to provide the most accurate interpreting possible. What a role model she is for ASL students!

for anyone who speaks sign language: how was she? it's cool to look at, and it's an interesting concept, but it's literally a foreign language to me

I studied ASL interpreting and I enjoy her style. She’s clear, expressive, and the way she interprets metaphors and wordplay is impressive. I’m not a language expert, by any long stretch, but from a casual standpoint I really like her work.

She is very good. And she has to be, she's a professional ASL interpreter.

“now you may recognize this riff” me: bruh she’s just playing an air guitar

Wow, deep respect for this woman and all other sign language interpreters that do this. I am currently learning sign language and I love seeing this!

This really feeds my love for sign. I've been fascinated by this since I was a kid

[scary music] Deaf people: AAAAAAAAAAA

You have to go like this to show thiccness. Couldn't have said it better myself.

I love this! I've been thinking for a few years how cool it would be to have something like visual beatbox for the Deaf. Love this!

Wow. This is such a wonderful improvement! What a joy to watch!!
