“Signaraoke” is a portmanteau of “sign language” and “karaoke.” It refers to a form of entertainment or performance where individuals use sign language to interpret and convey the lyrics of songs, similar to how singers perform karaoke with vocalizations. In Signaraoke, participants use sign language to express the meaning, emotions, and rhythm of the lyrics, creating a visual and expressive interpretation of the song.

While SignARaoke is super fun and a cool way to pick up new ASL signs, we want to highlight that getting really good at signing through songs might be challenging. Singing songs in sign language can be tricky for novice signers because it involves complicated expressions, pace, and translations that might be difficult.
