So, I am an American. I also do theater, and have a pretty solid RP. While visiting England on a college choir tour, *all* the theater kids would start slipping into RP accents without even noticing. It was awful! We felt like such assholes!
Sometimes people sign a word differently than you expect and they have to spell it out but mostly you can get the gist because grammar is set up differently from spoken languages. Unless they speak a different sign language, in which case you're screwed!
