Eurovision Sign Language Interpreter Is A Web Hit

VIDEO: Deaf News: Sweden's Eurovision finalist was chosen at the weekend but for many it was the bespectacled 48-year-old who signed the songs for Deaf people who stole the show.



STOCKHOLM -- Sweden's Tommy Krangh's silky dance moves quickly became a huge hit on social media with millions watching his video on Facebook and YouTube.



It takes a lot to steal the show from the notoriously flamboyant Eurovision entries, but this Swedish sign language interpreter's energetic moves and expressive gestures have managed to do just that.



Tommy Krångh has become an overnight sensation in Sweden after putting on the performance of his life, interpreting pop singer Magnus Carlsson's attempt to enter Eurovision.





But while Carlsson's upbeat tune may have failed to impress audiences in the Scandinavian country, being voted ninth out of 12 entries vying to represent at the annual competition, many are now calling for 48-year-old Krångh to take the stage for Sweden in Vienna this May.



The video of Krångh's exuberant interpretation has been shared thousands of times in Sweden, and across the world.



The delighted interpreter has told Swedish newspapers he was 'thrilled' with the reaction and has been 'love-bombed' on Twitter by people who enjoyed his energetic performance, even getting the odd marriage proposal.



'It´s been absolutely amazing,' he told MailOnline. 'I´ve been love-bombed from a thousands of people. People are even proposing to marry me. This is something I could never imagine.



'It's a once in lifetime experience after being a signer for so many years. I love that sign language gets so much attention at the moment.' ... Read More at Dailymail.

VIDEO: TMZ - Exclusive Interview with John Maucere of Super Bowl XLVII National Anthem. Super Bowl 2013 Sign Language Guy - I Got Hand Insurance.



LOS ANGELES - John Maucere tells TMZ, his hands are just like Dolly Parton's boobs ... Jennifer Lopez's butt ... or Tom Jones' chest hair, so valuable they need their own freakin' insurance policy but there's a lot more to sign language than just hands.



John Maucere - who signed "America the Beautiful" and the national anthem at the big game was out in L.A. yesterday with his interpreter when we asked how important it is to take care of your hands as a professional sign language-er.



John raised his hands, joking, "I have insurance." He added, "Hands are important, but you should know American Sign Language isn't specific just for hands.







There's a lot happening on my face, with my mouth, with my body, the emotions, everything. That makes the entire language."... Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/02/06/super-bowl-sign-language-john-maucere-hand-insurance/

Sign Language Music Video: Mashed Potatoes

VIDEO [SIGNED] - Mashed Potatoes interpretation in Chilean Sign Language by Nerven & Zellen with subtitles.



This video clip of our project NZcanal is a connector between the Deaf, the hearing community, music and art. Created with the aim of becoming a platform of visual entertainment for the entire family, through the dissemination of musical culture and video clip, in order to bring this language to the Deaf community.



Song Mashed Potatoes, played by Cecilia Incomparable. The original song by David Appell and Kal Mann.



Lengua de Señas Chilena, Puré de Papas / Nerven&Zellen.

Tercer video clip, de nuestro proyecto NZcanal. Canción Puré de Papas, interpretada por Cecilia la Incomparable. canción original de David Appell & Kal Mann.





The project consists of the translation (if necessary) of the artists lyrics national, international, current and legends, then adapt under the syntax of sign language, to finally perform the song in that language with the development of a new video clip, under the concepts of our collective aesthetic Nerven & Zellen: http://www.nervenzellen.cl



As Deaf people may have a closeness with lyrics and musical styles of each artist can also add new words to their vocabulary through the subtitle system. Moreover, hearing people may associate words and signs to become familiar with this language.



In a near future we hope to have a wide range of musical styles that can give life to this channel



Nzcanal is a nonprofit project. Visit http://www.nzcanal.com for more details.

ASL Music Video - Jabberwocky 2012

VIDEO [ASL/CC] - StormFx presents: Jabberwocky 2012 American Sign Language music video by Bjorn Storm.



An interpretation of Lewis Carroll's poem (1871) as a short film with subtitled for the modern viewer.



A quick note about my interpretation... please remember that 'interpretation' applies to more than simply taking words from one language to the next. In the essence of "gibberish translates to gibberish" the intent, mood, and even events can change depending on context.



Disclaimer: The video that follow is not appropriate for children. This interpretation includes signs considered profane or vulgar.





Once the Tulgey Wood is understood to be a modern day tavern instead of a dark and scarey forest, the doors opened to a far more liberal take on the original story. Please, please view the original, signed interpretation of this piece by Joe Velez and Eric Malzkuhn back in 1968 here: http://videocatalog.gallaudet.edu/?id=6518



For all you ASL students out there watching: please avoid furiously trying to gloss the signs I've used for "borogove" and "frumious", etc. HAHA! :P This is to be taken as a work of art, not the work of a professional interpreter. Stop analyzing and enjoy! ;) Love you guys!



I have so many people to thank for helping make my Tulgey Wood come to life! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, everyone who was involved. From all the colorful characters who showed up in their best for filming and stayed into the wee hours of night on a work day, to everybody behind the scenes, and perhaps more importantly - everybody who has had to listen to me blab about this endlessly for the last year - it wouldn't have been possible without you.

Extra special thanks to: Crush Bar (this place is friggin' awesome and let us film in their facilities): www.crushbar.com

Lydia Callis - Bloomberg's Interpreter Goes Viral

VIDEO: Lydia Callis: Bloomberg's interpreter goes viral. Meet Lydia Callis, the mayor's sign language interpretor who became the city's newest hearthrob.



NEW YORK CITY -- A Rochester Institute of Technology graduate skyrocketed into fame while providing American Sign Language interpretation during New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s nationally watched news conferences.



Meet Lydia Callis, the mayor's sign language interpretor who became the city's newest hearthrob. Stealing the show with her passionate facial expressions and signs.



Clearly there is nothing funny about mass casualties and a region under water. But Lydia Callis has at least given people something to smile about in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.





The sign language interpreter for Mayor Michael Bloomberg has gone viral. Mayor Bloomberg addresses the public while his signer feels the beat of the hurricane mane! as seen on YouTube.



The stories of devastation and destruction on the local news lately have not provided much in the way of relief unless, that is, you happened to catch sight of a sign language interpreter named Lydia Callis.





And she was pretty hard to miss. Ms. Callis has been a fixture at Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s news briefings, gesticulating, bobbing and nodding her way through the words of city officials as she communicates for the hearing impaired... Read More at NY Times.



She has inspired a tribute Tumblr page: Lydia Callis’s Facial Expressions, which has compiled images of her expressions as she signs. In one photo, Mr. Bloomberg looks on from behind, seemingly fixated on her hands.
