..Audio Description in Class and Reality

Gunnel Bergström (LCTL Swedish) will present. 

Description: Many people love watching a movie, a theatre play, a series, a football game or going to an art gallery. But not all can see what happens, and therefore needs audio description. 
The audio describers lend their eyes to people with visual impairments, and can describe characters, clothes, movements, face expressions, or an unexpected noises, like "Uncle Vanya tripped over the samovar", and many other things. 
LCLT´s  Swedish instructor Gunnel Bergström shares her experience from working as an audio describer, and also from passing on some skills to her students.
