Attended a community screening with open #AudioDescription and guess what? Sighted people loved it, but best of all, we didn't have to use apps for AD, we didn't have to fiddle with special equipment for us, everyone got the same experience. The movie also had captions for the #Deaf too and, gasp, my Deaf friends and I could actually enjoy something together for free! Revolutionary! This took place in a #Library and it was amazing

My sighted friends are listening to movies and TV shows on their jogs and stuff with audio description enabled. They're also wondering why more open audio described screenings don't exist more. I also never noticed how helpful audio description was to sighted NT friends on the spectrum, either!

It's been a while (years even) since I updated the old website. Here's a hugely expanded curated list of useful resources and links for #AudioDescription for #museums and #art. First updated page, more to come (probably slowly).

The problem with being a volunteer, unpaid, indie audio describer is that your enthusiasm often outstrips the time you have, and you wind up doing dumb things.
Like starting another script.
