When you think of experiencing music, what comes to mind? The rhythm, cadence, beat, pitch—the sound.
But for Amber Galloway-Gallego, her job is to help translate that sound for those who can’t hear and still want to experience a live show. She’s a sign language interpreter for some of the biggest musicians in the business.
“They are just checking it off on a box,” Amber says of accessibility options for the deaf at some shows. “They don’t think about the linguistic ramifications. Often, there’s no line of sight. There’s no speaker access. I just wish venues would make and design things that were more universally accessible.” |
