I notice myself speeding up when fingerspelling, which causes me to mess up, and then because I messed up I get embarassed which then causes me to speed up even more. Now when I mess up the first time, I try to take a deep breath and then try again.

Honestly when I started observing Deaf-to-Deaf communication/interactions I noticed the use of ASL idioms, eye contact, as well as the space the signer holds for the other person in the conversation to respond. I feel that in hearing spaces/conversations its harder to pinpoint the exact place to enter a conversation or even just say a sentence to keep the conversation going, which leads to a bunch of interjecting. With the conversations I have observed, this seems to be less so.

Honestly, I think the visualization of words, phrases, and even sentences would be the most impactful for me. I have been learning ASL for almost 4 years, and I am still more of a word ASL user instead of a visual ASL user. Of course I am working towards changing that, but as it is something i've noticed about myself and my signing style, I feel that is what would make it the most impactful.

For me as a viewer, I find when the signer has different facial expressions, and different intensities while signing, it makes it easier to visualize the differece in speakers/ characters!

If the signers story has a lot of back and forth I feel that may cause confusion in terms of how quickly and how frequently the signer is shifting. It also depends on the signers way of signing, if their signing is more clear cut and precise perhaps it would not get muddied.

If there are too many characters, its hard to keep them separate in the signing space, also because the signing space is quite small, too many characters can make the audience confused.
