Thu, Oct 29 2015 What are some secrets that you would love to share with... Trix Bruce Blog  Ha! I've got several secrets: working out, modeling, photography, and flower gardening. Modeling is something that gives me an opportunity to show that “Deaf people can do anything!†However, communicating with the photographers is challenging. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to work with Deaf photographers someday! I like taking good care of myself, d... Thu, Jun 11 2015 Why is Professional Development so Important to ASL...

Trix Bruce Blog The good news: New signs are always appearing and coming into wide use, and you want to remember them. The bad news: No one has recorded these "new" signs, cataloging them on video for the benefit of students, educators, interpreters and researchers. How can you capture and preserve these glimpses of "new" signs – at least signs that are new to you? Perhaps you gras... Tue, Dec 16 2014 What does your travel schedule look like? Trix Bruce Blog BOOKING PLANS Every booking requires a lot of related work: booking flights, setting up lodging, renting a car, and making other plans. Some hosts take care of everything, which works very well for my time frame since I do not employ a booking agent or manager to handle my paperwork and arrangements. I do set up everything on my own for the workshops and shows.Â... Tue, Apr 08 2014 Trix, what do you think of interpreters out in the world? Trix Bruce Blog From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate all of the interpreters providing professional excellence within the Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hearing communities. In the past, there were very few interpreters available, but now you see so many wonderful interpreters busy at work, everywhere you look. This is outstanding for our communities, and I feel that we can never thank t... Mon, Feb 17 2014 How did you start publishing your DVDs? Trix Bruce Blog When I was young, I dreamt of being an author, writing books for everyone to read. Fortunately, however, my ASL talents proved stronger than my writing abilities! Once I brought a book I'd written to a publisher who supported Deaf schools, but my book was declined. I felt that my writing was not great. Then, a mentor and business consultant encouraged me to use my h... Fri, Jan 31 2014 How do you feel being a Deaf Entrepreneur? Trix Bruce Blog When I was young, it was always my dream to have my own business. And now, my dream’s come true! After I graduated with two college degrees, I didn’t think that I would become a performer or presenter. I worked as an American Sign Language (ASL) instructor for many years. During my work as an ASL instructor at high school, I felt that the experiences of working ... Tue, Jan 14 2014 Hey, Trix! What do you think about what happened with the... Trix Bruce Blog A lot of fans have asked about this, and shared their opinions about the fraudulent interpreter at Mandela’s memorial service. At first glance, when I saw that they had included an interpreter, I was grateful for what I thought seemed like appropriate Deaf community accessibility. However, then, all around the world, the Deaf were shocked when they were unable to un... Fri, Dec 13 2013 Where do you find wonderful clothes for your work? Trix Bruce Blog Wearing professional clothes during my presentations is key. My closet features mostly dark clothes, and that hit my mother hard. But she knows, now, that I don't wear any flower prints, polka dots, nor colorful patterns. She stopped buying them for me and decided to just take me shopping when she wants me to pick out something special. I tend toward navy, dark brown... Mon, Nov 04 2013 "Which sources contribute most to your educational... Trix Bruce Blog I really love movies that are based on real-life events. Watching these movies, I read the subtleties of the facial expressions to see the characters’ emotional responses. This deepens my enjoyment and inspires me to learn more. Reading is certainly valuable for everyone, but honestly, watching videos and presentations in American Sign Language (ASL) helps me to lea... Mon, Nov 04 2013 In what ways does watching an ASL storytelling performance... Trix Bruce Blog Question for interpreters: In what ways does watching an ASL storytelling performance advance your interpreting skills and contribute to your professional growth?

Do you pick up new vocabulary or classifiers?... Mon, Nov 04 2013 How come you haven’t performed outside of the USA?
Trix Bruce Blog I have often received invitations to go abroad. However, I have family responsibilities that keep me home. I cherish what I've learned about International Sign Language through workshops and professional networking. For example, during Deaf Way II, I worked full time with a Deaf international interpreter. It was an incredibly rewarding experience! I have also had th... Mon, Nov 04 2013 |
