Why I’m Teaching AD Delivery, And Why Voice Actors NEED to Gain This Edge (My story)
I’ve voiced thousands of titles across film, TV, streaming. I’ve trained under blazing deadlines, in post-production rooms, with writers and engineers breathing down my neck. I’ve seen AD facilities cut corners. And I’ve felt blind audiences disconnect.
It broke my heart. And lit a fire: I needed to help other voice actors deliver audio description performance that truly serves the story.
What is Audio Description?
It’s narration of visual elements (like movement, facial expressions, costumes) so blind and low-vision audiences can feel the full story between dialogue pauses. It’s not captioning. It’s purpose-built voice performance. And clients are searching that now.
But most VO pros may not know how to perform audio description. And it shows.
They get robotic takes. They mishandle pacing. They miss intention. That wrecks audience trust.
How do I perform audio description effectively?
You train, with ruthless feedback. You learn pacing, tone, intention. You self-correct. You serve the scene.
That’s why I made this workshop.
