There is a “Now Showing” poster of a singer in the glitter. A critic walks by.
Critic: As It has always been with signing music, it goes over my head. Just like always. I just fake interest.
“How to ASLize music hard?”
In the music scene:
Singer: (sing) The starry sky
In the view room as the critic watches, he rolls his eyes up and yawns. An assistant sneaks behind the critic.
Assistant: Eee. The background must always move, not still!
In the music scene, the singer reacts “oh” and nods his head to command to have the background move.
Singer: (sing) The starry sky
In the view room, the critic looks kind of bored. The assistant stands behind the critic.
Assistant: Eee. I would suggest to add 3D handshapes to pop out the visuals.
In the music scene, the singer reacts “oh” awkwardly.
Singer: (sing) The starry sky
In the view room, the critic looks bored again as the assistant stands behind the critic.
Assistant: Eee. I would suggest to add mouth morphemes like this.
In the music scene, the singer embraces it embarrassingly.
Singer: (sing) The starry sky
In the view room, the critic keeps finding it boring.
Assistant: It gets better. I would suggest to add beats to the signs. Do it.
In the music scene, the singer sighs embarrassingly.
Singer: (sing) Through the starry sky, we all ride on a spaceship and the engine blasts us off into space.
In the view room, the critic finds it entertaining.
Assistant: Perfect
In the music scene, the singer got inspired.
Singer: (sing) This thriving journey is so important all.
The singer turns his head by almost every singing word.
In the view room:
Critic: That doesn’t make sense.
Assistant: Eee. Your erratic head and eye movement impedes comprehension. I would suggest to sign and gaze naturally. Also, punching each word makes it hard to comprehend. I would suggest to make sentences flow instead. Do it.
In the music scene, the singer signs embarrassingly again.
Singer: (sing) This thriving journey is so important all.
In the view room:
Critic: Uh, what does “important all” mean?
Assistant: Eee. Don’t be afraid to include signs that look like English. Do it.
In the music scene, the singer takes it awkwardly.
Singer: (sing) This thriving journey is so important to all.
In the view room:
Critic: Oh it is “important to all”. Oh I got it. Including the word “to” makes difference.
Assistant: Perfect, much better and clearer.
In the music scene, the singer looks relieved.
Singer: (sing) Among the stars, we dream.
In the view room, the critic finds it lacking.
Assistant: I would suggest to include the sign “look” as a reaction to make it more engaging.
In the music scene, the singer sighs in humiliation.
Singer: (sing) Among the stars, we dream.
In the view room, the critic smiles and waves his hands.
Assistant: Good job. Perfect.
In the music scene, the singer looks relieved.
Singer: (sing) This boom feeling arises because of you.
In the view room, the critic grooves up.
Assistant: Perfect! It is a wrap.
In the room of the “Now Showing” poster with the image of the singer singing, the critic walks by.
Critic: Wow! At first, I thought it would be the same but I was thrown for a loop! When those key tips were added to music signing, it blew me away!
Critic: As It has always been with signing music, it goes over my head. Just like always. I just fake interest.
