Description Coalition Guiding Principles
• Audio Description Coalition recognizes both
scripted and non-scripted audio description, which upholds
the Audio Description Coalition Standards for Audio
Description, and does not advocate one or the
other.
• Audio Description Coalition advocates compensation for audio description services, including training, description, mentoring and professional development, when provided by professionals who uphold the Audio Description Coalition Standards for Audio Description and Code of Professional Conduct for Describers. Audio Description Coalition supports these professionals regardless of the compensation they receive.
• Audio Description Coalition recognizes initial professional describer training programs of no less than two full days. The training should be led by an audio description trainer who adheres to the Audio Description Coalition Standards for Audio Description and Code of Professional Conduct for Describers with a minimum of five years of ongoing experience as a describer and/or administrator. The local administrator and the trainer should audition potential trainees to assess their aptitude for audio description. An effective training includes lectures, exercises, and plans for continued professional development.
