Itâs too distracting for her seeing as she can see. my dad doesnât mind it, but I think he just does it for the benefit of me or you know what benefits me sometimes. But I do know subsided, people that enjoy it. One of my friends is an audio describer technically being a reader that reads the audio description script that was written for him I think he even does the Picard series. His name is Roy Samuelson. He enjoys listening to audio description as well. He is fully sided.
