Song Translation Request

Deaf BC
-
0

I am recording a song in English, Chinese and Spanish. I would also like to do the chorus in sign language for our video which we plan to promote worldwide. I need to connect with someone who could teach me/ show me how to do that. It is a Christian song, the chorus is relatively short so it wouldn’t be too difficult.

We are doing this for pure joy, there is no money involved.

I’m looking for someone to work with to translate the chorus.

Thanks so much!

The Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas was buzzing with activity and hands were flying everywhere you turned during the week of July 18-23, 2010.

With special thanks to the Platinum sponsors, Sorenson Communications and Purple, DNWE was a smashing success.
