Space Usage• Normal “signing space”
– extends from top of head to waist, and shoulder to shoulder.
• Signers tend to stand within arm’s length from people they are talking to.

Expressions• Important!!!• 70% of ASL based on expressions!
– deaf people miss out on vocal inflections
– no expressions – boring!• eyebrows• eyes• eye gaze• etc.
• Body language is important as well.

Role Shifting• Important to tell audience which
character is speaking– Put yourself in character’s shoes
• Usually shift shoulders… rarely whole body.
• Use to describe character’s personality or actions. (don’t use adjectives!)
• Indexing

Telling stories in general
• Review stories before you ASL them
• When possible, don’t overwhelm yourself with the entire book– practice one page at a time, again
and again until you get a good feel for it
