Well, If I manage to semi retire in five years as I'd like to now I know one of the things I might volunteer to do, and I got a nice big smoky voice. Can't wait to listen to some of these and groovy post. I did not know this was a thing.

I've met JJ and had the pleasure of attending events where he's been doing live description, including the Toronto Pride parade one year in the accessible viewing/described viewing area. In addition to being a kickass pro at live audio description (doing it on the fly at non-scripted events is not easy), he's a really nice guy.

I wasn't aware of Talk Description to Me - as someone who spends a lot of time describing things to a blind spouse, it's definitely relevant to my interests. Thanks for posting this!
