Do you enunciate well?

How good is your command of English (or your local language) and your vocabulary?

Do you want to provide a valuable service for people with disabilities?

Arts Access is working to provide audio describer training services. Currently, you can find out if there is a local organization that trains and uses audio describers. Consult the American Council on Blindness- List of Audio Description Services web page. If training is offered, you will probably have to "pass" an audition. They will want to know what your voice sounds like.

The fundamental rule of audio description is, "Say what you see."
