Preparation for narrator The narrator should - find a natural and comfortable position - avoid eating a big meal or dairy products before describing. NOTE This is because coagulation occurs around the vocal chords and makes you want to clear your throat. - Say only words and avoid making the sounds, “um, uh, ah.” - Be comfortable with the pronunciation of any words known to be in the description beforehand. EXAMPLE The names of players during a sporting event description. ANALYSIS & DESIGN NOTE These recommendations come from UROP’s (MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program) Public Speaking tips by Norma McGavern.
NARRATOR SELECTION Narrators should have voices that are distinguishable from other voices in a production. ANALYSIS & DESIGN NOTE This is the recommended speaking rate in the ADP Standards on Audio Description
