You will be given the opportunity to listen to and analyse different approaches to the audio description of heritage, exhibits and works of art and will be taken through the fundamentals of audio describing in diverse settings such as in live visits.

Special attention will be devoted to understanding the specificities of recorded audio description to be offered in audio guides of various sorts.
