I took a tour #backstage and was pleased to learn that the #RSC is keen on #accessibility in #theatre, and offer #AudioDescription and other #AccessibilityOptions.

#AccessibilityAwareness

I hear "Suits" is a pretty popular watch these days. Anyone know if it's described? I'm not currently subscribed to netflix.

This latest thing I've been watching has #audiodescription done by Five Guys Named Mo. It's the second series I've encountered that's been described by them. I'm very, very impressed by the work they're doing. Sitcoms are hard to describe. I'm happy to see the incredible talent working in this field.

BTW, the series is Family Matters.

Just discovered that #SouthPark on #Max has #AudioDescription starting from season 19. Maybe they’re working backward?

If anyone else is having trouble getting the #AudioDescription feed to show up on the #WWDC stream, you can use:

I just finished watching the final episode of "The Last Thing he Told Me" on Apple TV. What a great mini series! Other than not reading all the credits, I also enjoyed the audio description for this.

I'm considering listening to one of the in-depth podcasts about #Succession (with spoilers). Any recommendations? The #audioDescription is good but lacking in certain regards.

See my sort of #rant from earlier in the day about missing descriptions from certain elements. There's enough time to provide this description.

Question for all #blind people who have watched "Succession" with audio description. Do you know what any of the characters look like from the description?

Anyone know if the original #film, "crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", is described? I found the 2012 version and watched it. It was quite good. But I want to see the original version.

Is the Puppy Bowl usually described?

I want to watch Poker Face, which I believe is streaming on Peacock; but I can't find any info on whether it has audio description. I found that Triangle of Sadness also doesn't have description. The Academy should require that, in order to be nominated, films should be accessible.

Just spent 30 minutes trying to get #ChatGPT to write an audio description of The Rocky Horror Picture Show for blind and visually impaired. The good news is #AudioDescription narrators and writers have job security for now.

This is quite good.

Watching #Movies With Low Vision

For someone like me, those flickering images were more than just a story. They were a whole world.

I discovered something awesome today. I turned on the “audio description” on Netflix (typically for use by those visually impaired) and now I can “watch” shows without actually watching them! I can fold laundry and do dishes and just listen while I work! It made my Xmas recovery chores go by in a flash! #Accessibility #AudioDescription

Think it might be time for a #Intro
my name is michael marshall and i’m a #blind voice actor from melbourne australia.
I love radio, history especially military and am very passionate about #Accessibility and #AudioDescription.
Also love #AustralianRluesFootball and my team is #collingwood

RT @MrBrokenEyes
Praising Paramount as an accessibility leader on the #ADAwardsGala is an in salt to #Blind viewers outside the US and Canada. They do not provide #AudioDescription for any of their original content in international markets. Slick marketing doesn’t cover #Ableism .

☕️ Join #VocalEye on the last Friday of the month at 11 am Pacific Time for an online Zoom conversation around the art of #AudioDescription and arts access!
