Pro-tip for people who want to improve their image description skills: watch professionally described movies and TV.

When you’re on Netflix, change your language to the audio description version whenever available. On cable, often the “Spanish” language track is actually the English audio description if there is no Spanish dub (yes it’s fucked up they don’t have separate options, but that’s a different issue). On YouTube, look for audio described videos.

Quality professional audio description knows when to mention details and when they’re irrelevant. It knows how to efficiently described what’s happening to better a viewer’s experience without getting overly technical or distracting. It is a skill that can be practiced.
