This Is How A Deaf Person's Voice Sounds, If You Ever Wondered

So, this is what a Deaf person's voice sounds never having ever heard sound before... imagine trying to learn to talk without ever hearing sound!
.
This is how I sound... not how all Deaf people sound... those that could talk clearly usually are hard of hearing, and I'm not hard of hearing, so that's probably part of the reason why I couldn't speak clearly, and also I didn't really have speech therapy until later in 7th grade, 12 years old.
.
Hi guys! :) I was cleaning out my MacBook the other day and came across this old video from 2 years ago and thought why not post on KZbin too. I asked people on my insta story to suggest words for me to use for a voice receptivity quiz for my Dad which was also a challenge for me as some of the words were words I don't voice often so it was a challenge for both of us. 😅 I so appreciate that my Dad works so hard to understand my voice and not only that but continues to learn and improve his signing to better communicate with me.
.
Anyways, thanks for watching! :) If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

It seems weird to think, but what if a deaf person steps on a Lego or stubs their toe. Would they make similar sounds as non deaf people. Like a ahhhhhh, or ooooo, or breath in closed teeth. Because I feel like we make these sound based on when we heard from others, so what would the default sound of stepping on a Lego be? Is that weird to think about? Idk... Thinking about it maybe they would mimic others faces in moments of pain and make whatever sound they can while making the face? Or maybe just the face with no sound? I have never seen a deaf person get hurt like stubbing their toe or stepping on a lego before but I'm a little curious. Am I thinking too far into it....

[@abyxis]

Wow. This actually explained a lot to me. I always wondered why deaf people who couldn’t hear generally didn’t talk either. But now when I think about it. You can’t exactly learn a language you can’t hear. And without being able to hear yourself volume becomes an issue, and you cannot tell if you are saying the words correctly. Awesome video.

Yeah very true but I wonder if the results are different if you just lost your hearing at like age 13

Дай ты мне собраться с силой И до вешних только дней Прокорми и обогрей!» - «Кумушка, мне странно это: Да работала ль ты в лето?» - Говорит ей Муравей. «До того ль, голубчик, было?

If that’s his daughter, I imagine he had quite the drive to learn!

[@katiealvarado7115]

And judging from the way she speaks she was probably born deaf so he’s had plenty of time to practice

Such a fun family moment! It had me laughing, enjoying almost being there with you guys. Your dad seems so sweet!!

[@VictorbrineSC]

Goes to show that literally all our senses work together to "build" us overtime, as in speech for example. As babies we can only cry, but with our hearing, we record all the sounds around us and our brain learns how to immitate them, added with the "original tone" of our own voice, letting us speak and do different tones, noises, accents etc.

This is really cool! At first, I couldn’t understand any of them, but when I focused more on the way you enunciated than on trying to actually understand the word, I could start to see the patterns line up. Thanks for sharing this with everyone guys!

Thank you for sharing this. ♥️

[@stormychai]

That's actually really impressive that while being born deaf, you are able to pronounce words pretty well. When I first started watching some of your videos and hearing you speak, I couldn't understand the words very well. But now I can understand better just after listening for a little bit! Totally awesome, and by the way, you have the sweetest laugh ever, it made me laugh too!!❤💎 Thank you for sharing your videos!

[@KILLERSMITH111]

This girl is my new Love... Nothing but respect for her!! The guy is very smart... I feel proud of them both

[@Arphix]

i don't know how your video got in my recommended youtube list but I'm happy my curiosity made me discover it instead of dismissing it. You and your dad seems to have a great chemistry. Also, I like how you went into this challenge with humor and educational purpose at the same time ^^ I hope this kind of videos help unstigmatized the difficulty for deaf peoples to go with day to day interactions.

[@korisolomon]

I JUST LOVE THIS CHANNEL!

You guys are awesome!! This is a really neat exercise. I am just learning ASL I can’t wait to be able to sign that fast!

[@wildefoxy298]

Just can't imagine how hard it is. Really inspiring video! Everytime I watch smth about deaf people I think of learning sign language. I love foreign languages, and I consider sing language as foreign as well, so I hope one day I'll be able to say more than just "Hi".

[@Trollika_Devi]

She has such a beautiful smile. Seems like a fun person to hang out with as well :)

I always look forward to your videos. I was able to understand 6 out of 10 the first time, and see this was from a couple years ago. Thanks for posting this and glad you shared it, along with having your favorite guest star :D Enjoy the rest of the weekend and looking forward to the next one Regards Rich :)

I have taught both my boys ASL. My oldest only learned a few words and phrases. When he was young. But my two year old knows 30 words and can sign I love u. He has really taken off with ASL. My neighbor that recently moved in is deaf. I always wanted to learn another language. This brought me to your channel bc I want to be able to communicate better with her. U and ur dad seem to have a lot of fun. And ur videos make me laugh a lot. I love the videos. Have a great day.

[@lxix_lxix]

Thank you for sharing your voice! I know you cannot hear it, but you sound beautiful! The collective sounds in "pumpkin" are really hard to pronounce altogether, so don't feel badly for not getting it right away. You're doing great so far! And thank you for helping me and others like me learn ASL!

My stepsister is deaf, and I grew up with her using a “Deaf accent" through childhood. I didn’t know until I was older that some deaf folks choose not to fully use their voice when interacting with the hearing world! I love her musical voice 🤟 *if I was insensitive in any way, please feel free to educate me; and, please be respectful 🙏
