Beyond Words: Navigating Audio Description for Diverse Audiences
Harnessing talent, tools and technology to share your vision with audiences who are blind or low vision
Aired June 20th | 12:30pm ET | Zoom Webinar
Join us live for an in-depth discussion on the process and importance of creating audio description tracks to provide equity to audiences members who are blind or have low vision. Discover how the right tools, technology and audio description partners can provide creators with more engaging and immersive experiences that include audience members of all backgrounds and abilities.
Our panel of audio description experts, Adrian Fox and Jane Devoy, will lift the hood on the audio description process. They'll share key considerations on selecting the proper AD style, format and provider. They'll share how they work with creators to capture, preserve and communicate their artistic visions via audio description while keeping in mind the needs and preferences of audience members who are blind or have low vision.
This webinar will tackle:
- The differences between standard and extended audio description, and which style is right for each project
- How audio describers decide what to describe and how detailed to be
- Factors influencing the casting process for AD voice actors (accents, dialects, gender, etc.)
- How audio description providers like Verbit preserve creators' visions without asking audience members to settle for subpar experiences
