One thing I like about film making is the desire to communicate. The desire to do so as a team to make “Hollywood magic” helps a lot. But being the only deaf member does suck a lot. Today at lunch, most of the hearies sat in the darker area. Forget me trying to keep up with several speakers at once and with several small groups of speakers nearby, why bother? I need a lot of one on one conversation and in a tone that I can actually hear. Also I am “low man on the totem.” Weird for me. I am usually boss woman. Its ok, I can stand some humilty. Its not that hard, although sometimes, I cant help myself and I still say what I think to someone who will listen ☺ But Michael seems like a nice guy. I hope to get to know him and his wife better. Good folks. And I look forward to working with Kenwyn in 2 weeks for my ending scene for SDI.
Also I find myself stumbling with my speech, finding the right words to say or saying something close to it but not really the correct English word. It sucks cuz I get criticized for both my English and my ASL! I guess because Im trying so hard to follow whats happening and catching maybe 25% of it, makes me feel nervous. The last thing I want to do is make an ass of myself. So far only one small mistake but overall, I did good.
