What are the hints for expressive finger-spelling?

What are the hints for expressive finger-spelling?

Answers

Faith
In order to fingerspell and read fingerspelt letters properly, you should observe the following:
• Relax
• Let the hand be steady.
• Let the palm face the audience at a slight angle with the arm held in a comfortable natural manner
• The hand should not be far from the mouth to make it difficult to read
both hand and lip movements simultaneously.
• Do not block the mouth with your hand since it is important to see the
lip movement of the signer.
• Avoid looking at the hand.
• Do not jerk, bounce or push the hand forward as you fingerspell.
• Make each letter clearly, distinctly and with a slight pause
between words.
• Do not drop hands between words.
• Establish and maintain rhythm.
