Troy's Big Break

A Deaf theatre director searches for the perfect actress. In his journey to complete the show's cast, he goes through disasters and struggles that life throws at him. It may be a little difficult to see in this picture (we can't make it any bigger) but the main character has a cochlear implant and signs. Strong language.

Tom Scott

Tom Scott vlogs about travel, his thoughts on different topics, and more. He has a series within a series called "Amazing Places." His captioning indicates he is semi-committed, with multiple gaps but the gaps are not severe enough to leave him off Captioned Web TV. Just make sure you look on his videos listing page for the ones that have captions. Who knew that the world's largest waterpark was in Germany?

Kat Blaque

Kat Blaque vlogs about transgender issues, and a smattering of other topics. She is what we would have to call semi-committed to captioning because while she captions plenty of her videos, there are some gaps.It looks like she first dabbled in captioning about a year ago, so to find her older videos you will need to go to her videos page and scroll way down.
