Sello Maake Ka-Ncube is one of the most celebrated actors of our time. Not because he\u2019s been around for a long time but because he\u2019s one of the best at what he does. But even for a legend like Sello, the learning doesn\u2019t stop. Sello Maake Ka-Ncube opens up about how his deaf daughter made him a better actor.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview with Anele, Sello shared that his most \u2018heart-warming\u2019 performance he has ever given was one where his daughter didn\u2019t have to lip-read.<\/p>\n
Many hard-of-hearing and deaf people, even if using hearing technology like those discussed in this this Nano Hearing Aid review can find it difficult to follow on with a play. Some actors can speak too quietly or the stage area has poor acoustics making sound difficult to travel. And for those who can\u2019t hear at all, lip-reading is not often enjoyable. Maake Ka-Ncube wanted to change that and make his performance one that his daughter and others like her could enjoy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the most heart-warming performance because for the first time my daughter did not have to lip-read, because there was an interpreter on stage signing the play for her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sello shared that doing a play that signed for a deaf audience back here at home meant a lot to him and it also made him a better actor. \u201cThe thing about it is that because of her deafness, she has to see. A slight a twitch could be that you are angry. Deaf people hear with their eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The actor explained how his looks should be the one that tell how he feels when performing for a deaf audience. \u201cIn order for her (his daughter) to believe me, I have to be truthful all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
