About the Audio Description Association:
The Audio Description Association (ADA) works to raise the standard and profile of audio description nationwide, supporting audio describers and facilitating a quality service for Blind and partially sighted people.
We provide accredited training courses which lead to the Certificate in Audio Description Skills, the nationally-recognised qualification for describers in the UK.
Audio Description increases accessibility to the arts and other entertainment. It provides a tailored description of what is happening visually on stage or screen, slipped unobtrusively into the pauses in the dialogue. The audience member follows the description on a set of personal headphones. Audio Description is also used to great effect in Museums, for the Visual Arts, Architecture, as well as Sporting and Live Events.
We welcome individual audio describers, theatre managements, producing companies, users of audio description and anybody involved in the field as members.
