The NFB Where The Blind Work Needs acting (performing arts) Job Descriptions

We need job descriptions from any of you who are blind and are acting on stage, in film or in ads. We need you to provide us with a description of what acting is like, how you entered this profession and how you do it. Your description will be added to the NFB’s “Where The Blind work,” a new and ever growing resource of career descriptions and how the blind compete within them. This is a great resource to assist youth to plan for future employment and for the adult who is looking to change jobs and/or careers. 

Your description must follow the below five question format:
