I'm just back from a networking event for Aberdeen filmmakers and creatives. I was blethering on about audio description and was heartened by how much interest in accessibility there was in the room.

I'm having a relaxing Sunday after spending the weekend training a new audio describer. She worked on an Act of the play, creating a description for visually impaired people that included all the action while not speaking over the dialogue!

The Book of Mormon programme with a red audio describer lanyard draped across it.

I'm preparing to audio describe the Book of Mormon musical at Aberdeen Performing Arts' HMT theatre this afternoon. Audio Description is a vital service that makes theatre accessible to visually impaired people.

This is my first post on Blue Sky. Hi! I'm a traditional storyteller, academic working on Romantic literature, and audio describer. I met a fabulous child storyteller recently who told me all about Mister Men. I discovered that even though I'd like to be Little Miss Neat, I'm closer to Mr Muddles!
