"Switched at Birth" Cast's Sign Language Skills

YH is on set for the last day of shooting on Season 2 of ABC Family's hit series "Switched at Birth" to get an exclusive tour and catch up with stars Vanessa Marano, Katie Leclerc, Blair Redford, and Lucas Grabeel! The actors show us the bits of American Sign Language they picked up over the course of their run on the series so far, plus we find out what items from the set they like to take home with them and learn a little bit more about Blair's epic hair! Hosted by Audrey Cleo (@audreycleo).

[@WhiteIcingProduction]

Vanessa Marano and Bay have the same personality!

[@grazielecristina7266]

***** it's true haha

[@makennakeliarose7063]

Is she truly an artist for real?

[@jaxtherat1284]

Makenna Kelia that's what I was wondering!

[@alinafresh7960]

Natalie Terrell NO DER

[@immerbeach5477]

Natalie Terrell sarcastic and goofy 😭

[@COCO-cd1ys]

vanessa acts just like bay! s'cuteee.

[@2aHappyFuture]

"i learnt helicopter yesterday but of course i forgot it" haha made me laugh

[@samanthascarcella526]

I'm actually surprised their outside is really inside. In Disney channel shows or soap operas, you can always tell that they're shooting on an inside set and see how fake it is. But I honestly thought they used outside, wow they're lighting is impressive .-.

[@m.zelayaaa]

she’s never been on disney but she is Laura moranos sister from austin and ally

[@jennabora6163]

Katie LeClerc's real voice is SO MUCH different than the way she talks on the show!! It's kind of nuts!!

[@sneekz07]

She puts on the voice for the show.

[@jennabora6163]

I know. It just amazes me, so I wanted to make that comment.

[@danl.2626]

And she also played a character that has such a different personality than her own

[@theashlynx]

In a lot of episodes they show her real voice why are you so surprised

[@novacolonel8458]

It's because in the show she became deaf at 5 and in real life she became deaf around like 17 I think so she uses an accent in the show

[@user-xx5nk1wv1e]

"I didn't keep it in check, I was like, 'you're prettier than I am!'" Haha I love her :)

[@sweetlife031]

She cracks me up lol...she really does! But I do have topping out that Bay and Ty are equally gorgeous :-) Blair *IS* indeed dapper. If you get what I'm saying -- every time I see Bay. and Ty together I always think: "Can you imagine what their kids would look like?' :-)

[@koda440]

I like how there was like 5 seconds of ASL, but the title is all about asl...

[@GayCorvidae69]

Isn’t it always like that with thumbnails and such. Always so fake and just to lure people in, so sad...

[@Cmyers16]

People who say Bay and Emmett are called Bemmett its actually Ebay. It's even in one of the episodes.

[@affieabdul8888]

Caitlin Myers . Yes it is..... I saw thay

[@sistermads6847]

Caitlin Myers yeah it’s on the episode where bay read emmets letter I think

[@peachygal4153]

Hon, you can put the couple name together anyway you want. It is not written in stone like your birth certificate.

[@peachygal4153]

@@sistermads6847 Lol doe sit mater? she was with Travis when it ended. I guess they were Tray or maybe Bavis.

[@dayit6260]

Vanessa's all like, "I didn't keep it in check! I was like 'you're prettier than I am!'" literally, love it. She's so candid!

[@panpanea7232]

HOLY MOLY the whole first season while watching i was like "Bay literally looks like Laura Marano but idk maybe its just me" and just then i realise they are sisters. FACEPALM

[@notmadi6968]

oKAY SAME

[@mollylaut9960]

anthea I thought it was Laura morano haha . Love them both

[@KarenHernandez-xl2lm]

Omg same😂

[@probablykillua4680]

they even sound alike

[@mintimmins5638]

when Vanessa said that the backyard was actually inside all my hopes and dreams were crushed and it made me rethink if my life is all a lie

[@maddieebobaddiee]

omg Lucas is old enough to be going to his 10 year high school reunion???? OMG

[@RubeGold356]

he's 31 now

[@maddieebobaddiee]

+ofowlsandcities yeah haha I know that now, but he doesn't look 31 lol

[@RubeGold356]

+Maddie Sutton hahha he was in high school musical ten years ago

[@maddieebobaddiee]

+ofowlsandcities I know lol, I'm just shocked that he's 31.. he looks like he's 26 😂 I thought he was actually a teen playing a teen role

[@RubeGold356]

+Maddie Sutton he was 28 here, if that helps anything...

[@skyry03]

I'm with anyone who said BEST SHOW EVER MADE🌺

[@sweetlife031]

I'm with ya

[@46foryounger]

Yes

[@sara-mm9pb]

Bemmett forever man. They're my OTP.

[@notmadi6968]

Yes!!

[@NSdhea]

so do i

[@lilliebutler4733]

YEA BEMMETT 4LYFE

[@jenahfuentes8677]

I know but now she is with Travis why??!!!!😢

[@kadencebuster1654]

Defentaly

[@KTSpeedruns]

So the video is called "Switchat at Birth Cast's Sign Language Skill" and only 10% of the video actually has them signing.

[@ExtremelyLegit]

10% is generous!! if you want to learn asl look up Dr. Bill Vicors, hes super good and funny!

[@KTSpeedruns]

Reed Fillinger He's what I've been learning from. But I didn't come here trying to learn. I came to this video wondering how much the cast actually knew. And now I'm disappointed that only 1/10th of the video is actually related to the title.

[@ExtremelyLegit]

me too.... I did think id be able to read what they signed, that's what I first watched but, no still too fast for me!!

[@46foryounger]

This cast is wonderful. They did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. Great entertainment and education combined.

[@lilyroselink]

Crying because Daphne's dress in this ep is so beautiful

[@leeanntran102]

I love this show. I Got My Whole Family Hooked On it. I cried on season 4 episodes 10. This show is just awesome need more please

[@dramaticunicorn_1d434]

I thought I was the only one...

[@JadeGoodwinEsyl3]

Katie: 27 Vanessa: 21 Lucas: 29 Sean: 21 Why are they playing teenagers?!?!

[@lornasimpson830]

Vanessa and Sean were teenagers in the first season...

[@Blooddeath1993]

Because they look like teenager tho?

[@JadeGoodwinEsyl3]

Not Katie and Lucas. It's obvious they are closer to 30 then 20.

[@Blooddeath1993]

Jade Goodwin It's not matter how old they are. By their looks, they looked pretty much like teenagers. Sean Berdy is 21 also, yet he's teenager in the show. Most TV shows or movies like to put young adult to play teenager.

[@JadeGoodwinEsyl3]

Blooddeath1993 I don't think Katie and Lucas look like college students. I don't think they look old or ugly, but they look much more mature then young 20 year olds. I know that young adults play teenagers, which is stupid, but make sure they actually look that age.

[@jaejae3669]

"You know, im going to my 10 year high school reunion" Me:...HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL?!?!

[@Lalalalala...]

I wonder how their sign language is now that they have had a few seasons.

[@emjk19]

Bemmet is obviously the best ship don't lie

[@janellmoses2283]

ikr

[@dreytheunicorn8310]

No one can deny that

[@gatitademinho]

It's ebay

[@kylie1380]

they wøn't knøw it's me yeah eBay and I like bay and noah

[@nikakern9763]

so true

[@WhiteIcingProduction]

Wow all the actors and actresses have on so much makeup!! You can tell in this.

[@TalentedShae]

i thought the same thing, but then again they are 30 year olds playing 16 year olds so they have to.

[@WhiteIcingProduction]

HA true

[@racheljagielski5517]

+Shae Kutie well vanessa is actually like 23 so

[@samrivera89]

I liked Emmet and Bay at the beginning of the relationship but he has proven to be very childish and changeable - like the type that says "I'll love you forever" then a few months later, "I meant it at the time" while Bay's character has only grown since the beginning. Ty definitely gets my vote.. he's a man!

[@avamarie4922]

DISAGREE

[@samrivera89]

+Ava Marie Well I mean, what i said is true but you can disagree in caps if you want...

[@avamarie5473]

+Samantha Rivera I'm sorry, I just don't get ur opinion (different account)

[@samrivera89]

+Ava Marie I think Emmett is cuter than Ty and like I said, I really liked their relationship at the beginning but he IS super selfish and childish.. helloooo he cheated and now he's with another girl lol. That is not love. So it's partly opinion... but mostly that's just how his character was made. And my original comment was made before he apologized to Bay for acting that way. My opinion is subject to change of course but right now, I definitely think Ty was more mature and thoughtful of Bay's feelings.

[@avamarie5473]

+Samantha Rivera r u on season 3?? If so, if u have a lot to learn...

[@lelmdrWHO]

so I have been binge watching this show like crazy but this makes me so happy!!! the cast are actually cool people. That makes shows a thousand times better and helps make a much stronger fanbase. stronger fanbase the longer the show woohoo!!!!

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

Lord, I would have never guessed their driveway is inside. Samantha is right, their lighting department is incredible.

[@tmpedu1]

i love the switched at birth show and really enjoy sign language

[@darlenegodfrey5186]

I am a bay and emmett person

[@kendra.street3706]

[@kadencebuster1654]

[@jaejae3669]

[@Anzy.99]

Katie Looks like Rachel McAdams

[@ashleyslavin3024]

[@46foryounger]

They need to bring this show back the character lines are so rich they could surely show where the characters are today and all the actors are so top notch. I just found this show on prime ans I watched the entire five seasons in two weeks. I am I withdrawal now missing it terribly.

[@idou]

Everytime I see that tree now..

[@TalentedShae]

lmao i was thinking the same thing.

[@46foryounger]

I just found this show. One of the best shows every made with real value.

[@MsFreedom2fly]

[@harshmnr]

[@Mishy82193]

[@courtneymichelle5746]

I thought that before I knew they were sisters 😂 and I thought to myself “she reminds me of Ally” so i looked it up

[@crisguia]

I love this, so thank so much for uploading it! Audrey did a good job. I just wish she asked Blair once and for all if he is part Asian like some message boards state. He looks part Fiilipino like Bruno Mars, Vanessa Hudgens and Shay Mitchell imo.

[@evanbelyea4801]

[@cakesrenee3930]

This tv show taught me asl :)

[@emmaberube1627]

Soops cool to learn sign language !

[@crisguia]

I'm so sad that Blair/Ty won't be in s.3. He and Emmett didn't even get to have any man-to-man talk over the girl they both loved, you know, may the best man win and all that. Ah well, I'm just consoling myself watching Blair in beyond two souls and BatB.

[@wompwomp6791]

Vanessa has the same personality as Bay! ❤

[@wowwww307]

I love switched at birth sign language

[@charlinanhem4964]

If I met Katie Leclerc , I would die. I would just cry my eyeballs out . The show makes me cry & it is inspirational that I really want to learn sign language. I also never knew Laura Marano ( From Disney Channels Austin & Ally ) was Vanessa Marano's sister :o But I loveee this show ❤️ I love you Katie ! I would die to meet her more then any celebrity & I mean that !

[@Karicat6]

I find it so cool that they turned the beam into a tree because they couldn't remove it!

[@cutiepie123337]

I would like a season 3

[@jessicasalinas3350]

I love switched at birth come back on Netflix season 5.

[@iicloudyvibez6870]

its 2019 and i just found out about this show and i didnt know emment was actually death and wow he signs faster than he does on the show

[@AGWeblinks]

OH MY GOD. I totally forgot it was Vanessa! I knew she sounded like Laura XD
