What show do you wish was audio described? (self.Blind)
submitted by _undermiss
I am seeking a hobby and audio describing has been on my radar for nearly a year.

What show -preferably on netflix or amazon prime- do you wish was audio described? Do you have specific examples of well-done audio described shows for me to learn from?

The final goal is to make at least 30 minutes of audio description to publish on youtube which coimplements a show. If it goes well, I would like to continue. If it goes poorly, bummer.

If you're really wanting to get into audio description, I would contact Netflix or blind mice. Blind mice is a website for the blind. If you make an account, there's a link at the bottom called movie vault with thousands of described content.

$1 the link to blind mice.

My advice would be to post only your audio description track and leave it up to the end user to sync the description with the video. This might help you avoid copyright issues, although I'm no media lawyer so I could be way off base.

I used to work in disability services for a university, and we always had videos for classes that needed descriptions. I am sure your local university would appreciate volunteers.

I wish you the best of luck! However, if you do any popular show at all, you're channel will get copyright takedowns before you can even blink. Sadly, audio describing content is not considered fair use; you need a license from the original creator to do it.
