One effective way to add meaning or nuance to your signed words is to **use exaggerated facial expressions and alter the speed of your signing**. This technique helps convey emotions, intensity, and emphasis, much like tone and inflection do in spoken language. Facial expressions in sign language are crucial for conveying the mood and context of the message, and changing the speed can highlight important points or transitions in your signing.
