Audio Description
Voiceover Narration for the Visually Impaired
Audio Description (AD) is an accessibility mode that serves the visually-impaired by describing key visual elements of a media project so people can still experience the content without seeing it. Audio descriptions are also known as video description, described video, or visual description. Regardless of the terminology, the goal is the same: To give more people an opportunity to fully experience the content.
Jess is an experienced Audio Description narrator. She specializes in corporate Audio Description. She also narrates Audio Description for Television (TV), Film, media projects and streaming services like Netflix, Apple, Disney +, HBOmax and Hulu.

There are so many reasons to include audio descriptions on your content. Many media producers include audio descriptions to comply with regulations (like Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), or simply to make their content more accessible and inclusive to a wider audience.
Also, some folks without visual disabilities appreciate the option of listening to descriptions, which allow them to experience content without looking at their screens (like when you’re bingeing Netflix and cooking dinner).
