Hey Annie, I think you should do it. It sounds like a fun little project to do and adding the description would be great because if no one else does, then it makes you stand out in more ways than one I say go for it girl you got this and by the way I liked Your portion of it. Youāve got a great timbre for narrating well done on you miss Annie.

Of course, I am all about spreading the joy, no doubt! I approached this woman about audio description last year and she stated she was hesitant to ask someone she knows to audio describe given that this is a volunteer project. (To her credit, she understands the value of AD, and of course voice actors who do this sort of thing should get paid, but Iāmstill troubled that she chose not to add itā¹. I almost didnāt do it because, why would I add my name to something I could not guarantee would be fully accessible for everyone?
