Audio Description Services and Customer-Focused Accessibility Training
Audio Description services for Film, TV, and other online content
I qualified as an audio describer for live performance with VocalEyes in 2019, and have worked as a freelancer for them since, providing AD for live shows and digital content. In 2020 I was recruited and trained in screen AD by Veronika Hyks. I now provide AD for films, series and documentaries on a freelance basis for Iyuno.
