“…vorgelesen werden müs sen (Vercauteren 2007: 143). Auch akustische Informationen können zum Teil eine Beschreibung erforderlich machen, etwa wenn ein Geräusch nicht klar zu deuten ist oder wenn ein Widerspruch zwischen Informationen aus Bild und Ton spur besteht (Vercauteren 2007: 143, Benecke 2014. In den meisten Fällen erleich tern akustische Informationen aber den Beschreibungsprozess, da Schauplätze durch die Geräuschkulisse eindeutig bestimmbar werden oder Leitmotive auf Fi guren oder Objekte hinweisen (Benecke 2014: 9).…”

This handbook provides compact, well-founded and comprehensible information on the entire spectrum of audiovisual translation, or AVT for short. In five thematic sections, 30 experts provide a comprehensive overview of theoretical and methodological approaches as well as the various forms of audiovisual translation: from subtitling and dubbing to video game translation, audio description and surtitling in theater and opera. In addition to the current state of research on AVT and the latest - technological - developments, desiderata from research and voices from the field will also be considered. Get to know central issues of AVT research and learn more about institutional aspects, especially about the German-speaking AVT landscape. Extensive bibliographies point the way for teachers and students to in-depth reading and scholarly study and provide a good starting point for professional action in the field of audiovisual translation.

“…During the early years of AD development, guidelines were a prominent topic both in research and in practice. To provide quality AD, efforts were made to create both universal (Mazur & Chmiel, 2012b;Vercauteren, 2007) and national guidelines (Bittner, 2010).…”

Training future describers: A practice report from an audio description classroom

Over the past few years, we have been observing an exponential growth in audio description (AD). This has resulted in a growing need for trained AD professionals and, consequently, for AD training. While the ADLAB PRO project helped define the professional profile of the audio describer and produced a range of training materials, there is still considerable room for other AD training approaches to be shared with a view to inspiring AD trainers when creating their courses. Thus, this practice report presents selected exercises that I have been developing since 2009, when I first started teaching AD both at university and outside academia (e.g., during dedicated courses for broadcasters, NGOs and cultural institutions), presenting their learning outcomes and framing them within the ADLAB PRO framework of competencies for professional audio describers. All the activities offered in this article are based on my professional experience as an academic teacher and researcher and also as a professional describer and accessibility manager who overlsees the entire AD production process: from negotiating with clients through production (scripting, proofs, recording, quality control) to product delivery and on-site assistance.

“…Toisaalta maakohtaiset ohjeistukset ovat menettämässä merkitystään. Vercauteren (2007) peräänkuuluttaa yleiseurooppalaista laatumääritelmää ja katsoo, että yhteinen standardi takaisi käyttäjille laadukkaan kuvailutulkkauksen. Yksi lähtökohta voisi olla kuvailutulkkauksen sisällössä: esimerkiksi elokuvien kohdalla voitaisiin pohtia keinoja yleispätevien ohjeistuksien luomiseksi elokuvallisten keinojen (esim.…”

This article sketches the characteristics of a novel form of translation, audio description, as a type of inter-semiotic translation. In audio description, visual information is translated into an oral utterance in order to enhance the reception of visual or multimodal communication for blind and visually impaired people. Audio description can be used in various audio-/visual contexts such as cinema, theatre, and museums. In my article, I will focus especially on the audio description in filmic narratives. Filmic narrative is a multi-semiotic discourse that poses special challenges to audio description because of the interplay between different modes of expression, the constraint of time and the differences in visual and verbal communication. This paper aims to look at these challenges and present some strategies that are used to overcome them. The strategies will be illustrated by examples. In conclusion, I will discuss some general matters concerning the transfer between the visual and verbal modes.
