  1. big thumbs up and props to you mate!, absolutely phenomenal video. its like ur signing and dancing at the same time.. i like the rhythem, the tempo, nice energy.
    keep up the good work.

  2. This was on of the best videos I’ve ever seen of someone signing songs in ASL…so really good job, amazing! I don’t know what else to say haha

  3. I really like the way you sign. However, I’m confused. It looks like you are using “sad” and “depressed” for the line “are you down”. That would be out of context. “Are you down?’ is an idiom meaning “would you like to..?” As I’m new to ASL please let me know if I’m wrong about the sign.

  4. @heresyoursign95 I think the sign you mean is, literally – “hit” and you use it like you would use “happen” but for something more sudden or shocking… it is a discourse marker (google it) – the key to making your ASL understandable as a new signer is often mastering discourse markers – they take your signing from a bunch of words that people understand separately but have no idea what your point is….to meaningful phrases. Good luck!

  5. @zephyreros I think Banerika is referring to that sign that means like… hmm I gloss it in my head as “touch touch touch” but I use for like “travel to many places” or “go and see everything”… you are using it when the english is “let’s fly away…” It does look a lot like the sign for tornado – different finger – lol Am I right Banerika?

  6. this was awesome. im trying to pick a song for my asl class but im not sure which one to do.. i love this song tho but im pretty sure its way to fast for me. hahah

  7. i did watch sign and voice song seem little different but still awesome …I always know song voice match sign not like more ASL fast you know..i do understand full word every sign something

  8. YOU’RE REALLY GOOD.this is one of my favorite song. i loved the video. loved your asl. loved how you did “down” compared to other videos. . you’re awesome.

    I would say if you enjoy to mouth while you are performing your songs in ASL, do it! : ) I donยดt think that it distracts. Itยดs common for me that my deaf friends, ASL and DGS (German Sign Language) teacher mouth while using sign language to communicate.

  10. This is fantastic! Your facial is outstanding! We are assigned song performances quarterly in my ASL class; I’m sure my teacher would love it if you came and performed!

  11. Wow, it’s really cool that you sign so well to the music despite being Deaf (well, pretty much Deaf). I think that’s really awesome and you should keep doing this! ๐Ÿ™‚

  12. I love this! Wow, wish I had facial expressions and awesome interpretations like you.

  13. You’re really good with your facial expressions and everything. I love watching your videos because you are a fantastic signer! Love your videos & can’t wait to see more uploaded! ๐Ÿ™‚

    xoxo Robyn

  14. Don’t be rude. He’s just using good facial expressions, if you know anything about ASL . . . @___@
