Audio description

Audio description for recorded content and remote simultaneous narration

The visual described with precision and emotion.

An essential accessibility feature that turns visual elements into spoken language — expressions, sets, costumes, and actions — for a complete, immersive, and inclusive audiovisual experience.

Everything that is visual transformed into words — synced to the original audio, respecting dialogue, music, and silence.

Audio description expands access and audience participation in the experience on screen. Descriptive tracks are synced to the content’s sound design and can be produced offline or narrated live from SHOWCASE studios, with no need for the team to travel.

Types of Audio description

Each context calls for
its own approach.

01

Recorded Content (Offline)

A post-production workflow with scripting, studio recording, mixing, and delivery of content with perfectly integrated audio description — in compliance with technical accessibility standards.

02

Remote Simultaneous

Real-time voiceover for events, live broadcasts, and audiovisual programming, delivered directly from SHOWCASE studios, with greater operational agility and no need to travel.

Process and applications

From scripting
to final delivery.

For pre-recorded content, we work with a rigorous post-production workflow. In the simultaneous modality, narration follows the content as it is shown in real time.

Scripting and Timing Study

A detailed pre-script to fit descriptions into the gaps between dialogue, music, and sound-design effects.

Studio Recording

Descriptive tracks recorded by professional voice artists, with adjustments to rhythm, pronunciation, performance, and tone of voice.

Mixing and Sync

Integration of the voiceover into the original audio in a balanced way, ensuring a fluid, natural sound.

Offline Final Delivery

Final version of the content with integrated audio description, ready for exhibition and in compliance with technical standards.

Simultaneous Narration

Live voiceover synced with the content, respecting dialogue, music, and the other sound elements of the program.
