| Abstract: |
Audio description (AD), one of many access services, narrates key visual and some sound elements of various types of visual content: a film, a TV advert, an opera, or a book cover. These descriptions can be inserted into natural pauses when the content has a dialogue or narration, or it can be a free delivery, as in the audio description of a sculpture. Audio description is a complex access service which can be used in recorded or live situations, giving rise to different approaches for its creation and delivery. Training the expert audio describer requires skills and competences from numerous and diverse areas, from writing skills to vocal performance. This article presents the training materials generated within the ADLAB PRO Erasmus + funded project, which focuses on the development of the professional profile of an audio describer. The first part of the article describes the overall aims of the project, as well as the methodology used towards outlining the skills and competences required. The second part focuses on the course design, followed by a presentation of the learning materials typology. Finally, examples of the training materials created are provided, together with suggestions for their exploitation. |
