Some local Deaf associations/groups volunteer to do the signing for free.
Good catch on the signing issue and our deaf users/community.

Hi :)
Actually it's usually in the foreground and often seems clunky because the words
don't match the speakers lips.  Some Deaf Culture events have a person on-stage
reading the sign-language and speaking the words out loud for any non-deaf
people that haven't learned to sign.  At events aimed at non-deaf people there
is occasionally someone standing off to stage-left signing what is spoken or
sung.  I really like the signing for clapping/cheering as it raises the energy
of the event.  Often voice-overs are aimed at English speakers because there is
a good chance they can't understand any other language and don't know anyone
that can help them/us.

Tom :)
