Audio description

I’ve been listening to the audio description on my television lately.

I switched the facility on as I’m not sure I’m seeing everything.

It provides a description of what’s happening on the screen. Not all programmes provide this, but it is handy if you can’t see what’s happening properly and want to properly follow a story. An aid to add to your enjoyment without struggling.

A voice over specialist, describes on-screen actions, settings, expressions, and other visual information without interrupting the original audio.

It adds to the experience anyway, even if you can see perfectly well. I’ve learnt alot of facts from having this on. Character names you didn’t know in films that aren’t even mentioned. Even ones I’ve watched for years, now have extra details I didn’t know. Same goes for songs that you hear playing. Tells you who it is. Provides a lot more detail than is mentioned or given otherwise.

I’ll tell you something though. It’s savage sometimes ☺

Abit judgey. Sometimes harshly descriptive. Regarding attractiveness, size or even age of a person. Quite funny, sometimes downright shocking really and well worth turning on to listen to, even if you can see ok.

Watch Naked Attraction with this on and it will provide no end of enjoyment by the audio alone!

VIDEO DESCRIPTION  A blonde cartoon woman. With her back of head to the image. Sits on a green sofa and watches television. The start of the film The Worlds End plays. Simon pegg, dressed in a blue outfit, plays Gary, who is talking facing the camera. Audio Description plays
