After reading Etoile's post and having posted myself... (sorry for the double post but...) I watched that video myself. Here is the link to it: https://www.oneinterpreting.com/deaf.php It says that for VRI you get 5% of the bill that the 'hearing' company that you have the appointment...

Just a note.. I personally know the interpreter shown signing on their main page. I know that SHE is legit. I have no experience with that particular company. Yet. I have heard that the person in charge is a reputable person from the area.

Do you guys know of any good software for video blogging? Freeware would be ideal. Let me know, thanks! :ty:

Welcome and happy thanksgiving!!! ^______^

Seriously. I mean, a little munching on hold is certainly no big deal. One call I had, the caller was STUFFING their face, and when they were done eating they pulled their shirt up to wipe their mouth. A shirt is NOT a napkin!

Ocean, I don't think they meant they were taking it right at the moment they were posting here :P I read so you want to be an interpreter.. and only that.. and I miraculously passed!

Just a note- I agree that getting the same ole' possibly unnecessary introduction can be a hassle when you just want to get a quick call over with. I and probably most level headed terps wouldn't bat an eye if the customer interrupted the introduction in a friendly manner (for example-...

Honestly I like being told your preferences. I want to make you, the customer happy. Being told the context of the call helps me get my mind in that place. It makes the process more clear. An example of why giving context is important.. If a woman calls in and tells you she wants member...

That's true with one company but not with another. I'm assuming you work at sorenson :P Brian- If you want them to specifically say Mamaw then yes, tell the terp before the call connects that you'd like to address your grandmother as Mamaw. I was considering making a thread like this...

Thank you for the detailed response about Usher's syndrome. That sounds like some AWESOME software! I'll be sure to share that info with my family. I used to have an apple IIe!

Yea. I agree. He does have RP. Isn't that part of Usher's Syndrome? His peripheral vision seems to be gone. He tells me his vision will never decrease- just that it will maintain where it is right now. He's also very sensitive to light (like when I'm standing outside his door he has to wear...

Thank you, I'll do that. Actually, I have 2 family members who are deaf and going blind. One of them is already legally blind (can't drive any more) and the other is on his way.. (both have usher's syndrome) I have general feelings of unrest about the situation... especially with the 2nd...

I agree, any performance should have a solid contrasting color shirt worn for it. That's your backdrop for your hands, make sure you showcase them well. :) + I left other comments in your other thread

My computer made the video pretty choppy (I'm way overdue for a computer upgrade- but who has the funds! :P ) but I was able to see a couple parts of the video smoothly- I really like how you signed the part about the man of you dreams + his beautiful wife. :) :applause:

No, I have not done tactile interpreting yet. I lived in Seattle for a time and intended on learning - but have moved (I miss seattle!!!) and there's not much of a demand for it in my area right now. Thank you for the warm welcomes. :D ps- bottessini I LOVE your signature! <3

Yay ^-^ Thanks guys! :wave:

I noticed there's an interpreter section.. google searches for interpreter related things brought me to the board. Is it ok for me to be here? I go by the name of Hen online. I am into digital art (appreciating and creating), I love ASL and I'm an NIC certified interpreter. I'm not...

I've visited this site several times but never quite felt compelled to sign up and post until this thread. I used to absolutely LOVE this song. You've certainly chose a challenging song to interpret, in my opinion. You seem to be on the right track so far though, so congrats and good luck to...
