This panel was the official announcement for the presale of my book, found here at roysamuelson.com/book – for the below video, I’ve been doing this 3 minute bit for a few years now, it still seems to resonate and give a sense of the multiple aspects of the audience experience of audio description (AD) in film and tv. (In front of a Comic-Con backdrop, Roy wears a badge around his neck next to Chad Allen. Joshua Loya off camera.)
Audio Description
Human AD and synth voice AD comparison
In games, cut scenes bring emotion.
Cut scenes in games are still scenes. Here’s an example of the same scene from a TV show, with the same AD writing; first version is human performance, and the second with a synth voice.
I share the specifics of this difference in my book on audio description performance. pre-order now roysamuelson.com/book
