Yes. It’s as different as watching a speech vs reading it.
Example: “That’s a great idea” is how it would be written whether it was meant seriously or not. An ASL interpretor would exaggerate the signs and use their face to convey the sarcasm.
My opinion is that if the information gets a press conference, they think it’s important enough to convey with inflection and deaf viewers deserve the same.
Is there a benefit to using ASL interpreters as opposed to closed captioning?
