Marlee Matlin Visits The Couch

[@woihjsd]

What a charming lady. I've used closed captions since I was a child even though I can hear. My parents didn't speak English growing up but they could read it no problem so I was used to having them on all the time. It wasn't until I started watching TV at my friend's homes that I realized I was depending on them because I couldn't always understand what people would say (bad diction, sound, or accents.) To this day, I have a hard time understanding a lot of song lyrics without looking them up. When I started watching anime, my friends would tell me they had to get used to reading the subtitles when it was easy/natural for me. That's when I realized that most people don't use CC. I love them. They're wonderful!

[@tayllor2900]

I absolutely LOVE Marlee!! She is amazing and I would be honored to meet her.

[@sweetlife031]

Marlee is wonderful! I don't really pay that much attention to the novels, but she's definitely a hero in my eyes and I adore her as a human being

[@xbisoubisoux]

Favorite part when Marlee slaps his arm because he keeps looking back at Jack

[@ginniekinz5401]

He prob didn’t know

[@lauradonaldson3269]

xbisoubisoux He looked away. She subtly put her hand on his arm.

[@alexh4001]

The ultimate irony is the poor captioning on this clip.

[@kaylinmae8011]

funniest thing is that this video is not captioned

[@Holdington]

It's a video on youtube. If you had watched this on TV it would've been.

[@TiamatStorm21]

i notice multiple times that Marlee has to get the attention of the interviewer back on her because hes looking at the interpreter instead of at her... how rude is he?! the interpreter is JUST a voiceover for Marlee, he isnt the one saying the words...

[@tamraarmstrong4146]

well the interpreter probably confused him when he said he could look at him. he didn't look at him too much.

[@whitneypickle]

+Tiamat Storm I don't think he is trying to be rude. I think he is just unfamiliar with being around a deaf person. When you aren't used to something like this, you tend to default to what you are used to. Hearing people are taught to look in the eyes of who is speaking. Marlee is a professional and I'm sure where she finds it frustrating, she probably doesn't feel disrespected.

[@ginniekinz5401]

Whitney Faye exactly what I always think with those kind of interviews. Most people don’t want a rude reputation to follow them, so I doubt it was purposely. He’s human, and we all forget and make mistakes. and other than that little oops, he doesn’t seem rude to her at all. People are so quick to judge nowadays, it’s actually scary at times.

[@victoriacobb2370]

Most hearing people don't know this.

[@saraskilondon]

and the interpreter's skills are sublime

[@WesleyCantSign]

" theres no sound " 😂😂😂😂

[@kyleandrews123]

hey wesley i didnt know you watched switched at birth u should do a video about it

[@WesleyCantSign]

GAY GAMER BOY I love switched at birthhhhh

[@kyleandrews123]

SAME!!!! they need to hurry up with the new season

[@ginniekinz5401]

That’s so classic lol. Was that someone in the audience or one of the crew?

[@lisaweiner7696]

Marlee Marlin will always be my favorite actress.

[@msjennable]

How rude for him to turn to her interpreter while he was talking...some hearing people just don't get it.. but, I love how he tapped him..like hey, I'm over here in such a classy way.. love her! I love ASL. Such a beautiful language, and deaf and hard of hearing and coda communities are so wonderful.

[@harshmnr]

Yeah he's just not used to it but it's nice that she gently reminds him. ~:~

[@eireencullen]

I wish the program tag was either on the side or translucent because it's blocking both Marlee's hands and the clip captions.

[@lkrachal5120]

So the website that she was talking about for the closed captioning services, why didn't they post it in the description a link to that website nor they posted it on the show itself.

[@laineyluxury]

Sign language is so beautiful

[@cosmocats20489]

she is great in THE WEST WING!!!!

[@izzygoulet4954]

I love how she is talking about how important cc is but this video doesn't even have cc🤔

[@vietcongpornsurfers]

Yes it has?? maybe not pre-written but the translator speaks so clearly most of it is on point!

[@afreshloafofgarlicbread6307]

vietcongpornsurfers He sure isn’t speaking clearly for deaf or hard of hearing viewers who perhaps don’t know sign. Remember! We can’t HEAR.

[@themomsaga7276]

Yes it does. Click the CC button on the bottom of the video and you'll have it.

[@melissanicole1969]

She's 1 of my favorite actors and a beautiful women

[@mehamurmurs1686]

I grew up w a deaf cousin and we always had collapsed caption on all the TVs in the family, I couldn’t get use to watching it at friends houses without it

[@ShodyHarajukuBarbie]

Found her from the L word! I love her!

[@tamraarmstrong4146]

I took asl and deaf people are very vocal very active and their communities and wonderful people

[@charlesjohnson9153]

subtitles? the auto generated subtitles by youtube is a joke.

[@theolamp5312]

My hearing is fine, but sometimes have to add CC on movies because actors so often fail to annunciate. Marlee is a very talented actress. But, she is also gorgeous.

[@mariemakeup101]

ironic that even tho this has closed captioning it's filled with an incredible amount of error

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

I did not see any closed captioning on this video, what are you taking about

[@mariemakeup101]

Kaitlyn Cleary if you hit the "CC" button on any (or most) KZbin video, closed captioning will appear.

[@HelenavV_]

+mariemakeup101 the automatic version of cc doesnt work its always full of mistakes and faults cuz its automatic

[@cambercollignon1500]

Asl is a good sign language to help hearing and deaf so the can talk to each other

[@Emorkia]

The British TV networks seem to be good about closed captioning shows online. I've watched videos on BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 players with subtitles. I'm not deaf/HOH; I just find it easier to focus on shows with the captions on.

[@emmacarolinereads]

+Emorkia I think it depends. When it comes to the local and national channels that is correct but you get broadcasters like Sky who don't want to do anything or claim "technical difficulties." I don't know if there are subtitles for Sky's online services but for their added perks of on demand, subtitling is non-existent. The Subtitle It campaign is doing its bit to try and force the government to take the issue seriously but it remains a fight. I do know what you mean about the captions though. My sister watches tv and films with captions (she's profoundly Deaf) and because I've got so used to them there that it is strange for me to not have them on - unless the show is live and then they're turned off because there are too many inaccuracies or there is a timing delay.

[@opsecsecurity]

HEY - 6:03 The CC gets EVERYTHING right up until that point and then it says "insane mom can we shop the @$$ crack or something to that" RIGHT AS they're talking about her Oscar/Academy Award !?!!! FIX IT

[@tayllor2900]

+Savage Insight OMG!! I just rewatched that section and looked at it with captions and saw that is said ass crack. Someone did that as a cruel joke.

[@opsecsecurity]

+Taylor Anstrom c:

[@kittagp]

+Taylor Anstrom Wasn't it an automatic close captioning? Computers are still stupid sometimes; and that's good, they should give this job to people not machines.

[@tayllor2900]

kittagp Not sure hon. I think you are right that most t.v. shows are automatically CC'ed with a computer but this is crazy. They need to get a more updated CC. It reminds me of auto-correct when you do voice texts. Mine messes up constantly.

[@farcenter]

She's so damn charming

[@bruh-_-7475]

Omg that clip was so awkward, silent, and hilarious

[@vietcongpornsurfers]

Perfect woman, beautiful, charming, ambitious and silent!

[@acapavlovic8524]

6:40 She didn't looking at him at all. LOL

[@louthe_coffee_addict7790]

Hey I have a question.. Do you think sign language is an art form?

[@krystalharwood2300]

FYI She played the March Hare's girlfriend April on Adventures in Wonderland

[@gregoryashton]

Peter Griffin brought me here.

[@sarahardesty1357]

i want to know when switch at birth new season come out

[@adelaamarante]

The final season will premiere at the end of this month.

[@demon45ize]

@@adelaamarante no it wont

[@adelaamarante]

demon45ize This was over a year ago. It's already come and gone. Sooo.....

[@sweetlife031]

I think Marlee can actually talk...but she can't hear how she sounds, obviously...so she doesn't do it very much

[@victoriacobb2370]

Most deaf people don't really care for using their voices, especially those in Marlee's generation - those who grew up being forced to talk. She can do it, and she does when she feels it's necessary, but she preferrs not to.

[@lukedurant4200]

Funny cause this video is not captioned

[@arielg7000]

OMG COOL

[@notcishet]

why does this guy keep looking at the interpreter and why is the interpreter talking to him AND not even signing what hes saying ???

[@williammarkedwards5477]

where is Charlie puth please?!?!! 😆😉😢😆😆

[@tayllor2900]

+emma poulsen The interpreter is not signing when he talks because he is essentially being Marlee's voice if she were hearing. She is signing and he is saying out loud what she is signing. He is basically her go between for the deaf and hearing world. I very much want to go to sign language school to be an interpreter. Not only is it something I am passionate about...signing is so much fun, you make great money as well. I was in the hospital with a deaf kid when I was a teen and one of his rights as a patient was to have an interpreter with him art all times. I took her to the side to ask about how she got the job and she grew up hearing with deaf parents so she was already fluent in ASL. She told me that on call interpreters for a hospital which is what she was got paid $60.00 an hour starting pay!! So I can help someone doing something I love and make great money. I would love to be personal interpreter.

[@mishmasrea1246]

"no sound" um.... you can hear when she is slapping her hands while she is signing in the clip. whoever made that comment is ignorant. deaf families wouldn't have an interpreter in their homes while having a discussion

[@kittagp]

+MishMasrea He was just trying to be funny...
