Making Music Visible On a recent afternoon in a brightly lit studio in Brooklyn，Tom and David were filming a music video.They were recording a different version of their favorite song，but the voices that filled the room were those of the two original singers，who made the song a hit.And yet the two men were also singing - with their hands.
   Tom is a deaf actor and dancer；David is a hearing dancer and choreographer（編舞者）who is，thanks to seven deaf family members，a native speaker of sign language.Their version is part of a 10-song series of sign language covers of works.
   Around the world，music connects together communities and promotes a sense of belonging.But as sign language music videos become an online phenomenon，the richness of sign language has gotten a broader stage.
   "Music is many different things to different people." Alice，a deaf actress told in an interview，using an interpreter. "I realize，" she added，"that when you do hear，not hearing may seem to separate us.But what is your relationship to music，to dance，to beauty？What do you see that we may learn from？These are conversations people need to get accustomed to having."
   A good sign language performance thinks highly of the combination of the elements of sign language - hand shape，movement and facial expression - with those of spoken language，allowing a skilled sign language speaker to engage in the kind of sound painting that composers use to enrich a text. "The hands have their own emotions，" Tom said. "They have their own mind."
   Deaf singers prepare for their performances by experiencing a song through any means available to them.Many people speak about their highly sensitivity to the vibrations（振動(dòng)）of sound，which they experience through their body.As a dancer trained in ballet，Tom said he was particularly conscious of the vibrations of a piano as transmitted （傳遞）through a wooden floor.
