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

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 YouTube 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. đ 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!

was i the only one who thought the old guy was the deaf one at the start?
-
At the start I was like: he has a good accent for a deaf person
-
I like how laughing is universal, even people who canât hear laugh and canât know what a laugh sounds like laughs just like the rest of us

At the beginning I thought, "wow, for a deaf person, that guy is extremely accurate at voicing words"
-
Your voice is so beautiful that my computer's closed caption calls it music.
-
Really nice to see this in a fun and positive way. The scene where the deaf main character in âA silent voiceâ tries to be understood and fails is heart breaking. And I didnât even realized I had internalized it as something tragic rather than something incredibly fascinating.
-
I understood "pumpkin" way before he did, but on everything else I had no clue and he got most of them on the first go. Very impressive!
-
Wow. This actually explained a lot to me. I always wondered why deaf people who couldnât hear generally didnât talk either. But now when I think about it. You canât exactly learn a language you canât 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.

Your Dad melts my heart seems like such a kind soul
-
This is so amazing to see how she sounds words, when you realize she has never heard them spoken, we take things like this for granted
-
She looks so happy.... I love her. The father is also such a wonderful person.
-
It's so amazing how she managed to pronounce the words without having any idea how each letter sounds like. I mean, I'm trying to put myself in her shoes and I feel like I won't be able to pronounce any of those words at all! It is like a person with visual disability trying to describe what colors are like.

My brother is deaf, and he can actually speak, and his speech can be understood. All thanks to my mom. I didn't expect the girl's voice to sound so familiar. I'm thrilled.
-
I know this may be a âwell duhâ thing, but I always feel happy when I see a deaf person signing with their hearing parent. Obviously itâs necessary, but itâs so cool to think how their parents need to learn a new language as an adult (which is notoriously difficult) and itâs fueled by love and may be a skill they would have never learned otherwise.

I'd protect these two with my life. So damn wholesome
-
Iâm Deaf too and a lot of people tell me âyou donât sound deafâ itâs important to note thereâs not one way that we all âsoundâ just like hearing peoples voices are different and articulate things differently so do we.
-
I can't imagine learning to pronounce any word without any way of knowing what it sounds like or even how to pronounce letters to begin with. I'm impressed at her attitude towards this problem.
-
her smile was pure. i'm so happy to see it. She has a good personality despite her disability. I hope she live a happy life with people that love her.
-
The love and positive energy is so touching. Glad she has a loving and supporting family. She will go places đ„°
