DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - March 21, 2019
-- comments by a deaf actor
A deaf actor said it is very difficult to
get roles only for the reason no one writes
in these deaf roles in their productions.
Also, very difficult to communicate with
fellow actors and directors during rehearsals
and filming productions. They have never
worked with a deaf actor before and
are afraid to do so.
-- bad quality captioning software
Many agencies use captioning software knowing
that quality is bad. They try to save money,
saying their captions comply with ADA rules,
regardless of quality with it. A big shame!
-- anti-deaf customer
A hearing customer went to a coffee cafe and was angry
to see deaf people being employed, brewing and
serving coffee. The angry customer confronted the
owner, promising never to buy coffee again from
his cafe. A facebook page showed the posting
of the anti-deaf customer. It did not take
place in USA but in the Philippines!
