Oh the joys of having a speech impairment
So I was working with boy on a flim project. It is all about zoombies. In the flim there is a voice over. I thought because of the voice over was the host who asked an question then ansered it I thought it be better to have a different voice and sence no one was there I voulinteered. I used Audacy to recored it but he thought we needed a ' nomrmal voice aka not A Cerebral Palsy voice,
In class that day I told my suggestion and the teacher agreed but said maybe I could do the lines on cammera. Now let me tell you about this teacher, They are a voice over extrodanare. They can do cool things with there voice and have done numberous voice over, Now for me with me speaking gibberish and all I get jelous really jelous. I wish I could speak as well as they do.
Our film class is not specific special need class, yet for some strange reason we have a bunch of students with disablities. Some of my fellow classmates are on the Autism Spectrum disorder some have learning differences and one has Down Syndome, she is a funney one in class and both the student and this professor get along really well.
Then there's me
back to the class. The teacher was talking about next week. Now this is a media class so we do not have class every week. So I asked her something along the lines of do we have a mandtory class next week?
She did not know what I was saying none of the other students knew what I was saying. Its like running into a invisible wall and not being able to figure out whats blocking it. I decied to leave the class room cool off and try again. I talk to the teacher does not get it right away. When she finally gets it I say finally and she heard me correctly and walked off. She thought I was being disrespectful. I was saying Finally for me not for her
I have been in school since August and the teacher still has a hard time understanding me. Yes I have CP NO it is not her fault but there comes a time when I know someone a while I kinda hope I can be understood. I i am looking ahead to next semester where I have a professor who understands me a little better.
If my professor actualy end up reading this ( or anyone dealing with CP)
Understand that I want to be able to speak clearly
Not your fault nor is it mine
Once I get the message across I feel better and may say finally it is not ment to be sacastic. In fact if I offer to help me say it clearly its in the moment Speech Thearphy.
