Chicago The Musical is offering a way for the visually impaired to ‘view’ the performance, and the world of audio describing is making that possible.
Neha Patel is one of the describers behind the microphone. Her role is to drip-feed vivid details to audience members equipped with special headsets.
“What we’re looking for are the main visual elements that we need to describe for the patrons, and then also what we’re looking for are the gaps, because with a musical you don’t want to talk over the music,” she told Newshub.
