Form the letter "T" by forming a fist with the thumb tucked under the index finger and the palm facing away from the signer. The tip of the thumb should be visible between the bent index and middle fingers. Then proceed to make the letter "V" by simultaneously extending the index finger and the middle finger so they are nearly vertical.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'want', sign 'watch' by bringing a 'V' handshape from your eyes outward, and then smoothly fingerspell T-V.
Fingerspell T-V keeping your palm facing outward, then sign 'turn off' by mimicking the action of turning a dial or pressing a button.
Form the 'T' and transition into the 'V' handshape, then sign 'broken' by holding your fists together and twisting them outward as if snapping a stick.

No, you should keep your hand perfectly steady. Bouncing makes fingerspelling much harder to read. Just change the handshape from 'T' to 'V' in the exact same location.
As a beginner, focus on clarity first. Make a clear 'T', then a clear 'V'. As you practice, the transition will naturally speed up and become one fluid, continuous motion.
Always use your dominant hand for fingerspelling. If you are right-handed, use your right hand to form the 'T' and 'V', keeping your palm facing outward.
