‘We did our first audio description show nearly 30 years ago in Melbourne, says Michael Ward, Manager, Audio Description Services, Vision Australia. ‘In the last eight years it has really taken off. [In that time] we would have put on over 1800 audio described performances across the country.’
Audio description offers people who are blind or have low vision access to visual information via succinct narration. Every weekend, Vision Australia audio describes two to three productions. This includes ballet, theatre, musicals and opera.
