SUMMARY:Diversification: A Tool for Thriving in Uncertain Times
DESCRIPTION:While many things are uncertain when you run your own business—especially during a pandemic and economic crisis—one thing is clear so far: freelancers with diverse businesses tend to do better than those whose businesses focus on a single service. \nDiversifying your translation and interpreting business can take many forms: exploring new specializations and services; offering services to other freelancers in addition to end clients; marketing to a new type of client. How do you go about it? How do you find the right approach for your situation? \nWhat will you learn?\n• What is diversification and why it’s a good thing.• How to think about diversifying your business.• How to diversify without feeling “all over the place.”• What you should do right now if you want to diversify your business. \nAbout the presenter\nCorinne McKay\, CT\, is an ATA-certified French>English translator\, a Colorado court-certified French interpreter\, and the founder of the online course platform Training for Translators. A full-time freelancer since 2002\, she has seen firsthand the benefits of having a diverse business\, including agencies\, direct clients\, government agencies\, and other freelancers.

SUMMARY:Audio Description: The Visual Made Verbal
DESCRIPTION:Audio description makes visual images accessible for people who are blind or have low vision—the visual is made verbal. Using words that are succinct\, vivid\, and imaginative\, describers convey the visual image that is not fully accessible to a significant segment of the population: 26.1 million Americans who are blind or have trouble seeing even with correction (American Foundation for the Blind\, 2019). \nThe need for audio description has resulted in the development of a vibrant cottage industry. \nThrough this webinar\, audio describer training will be detailed according to the Fundamentals of Audio Description developed by Joel Snyder\, Ph.D. Participants will experience how description makes performing and visual arts programming\, websites\, and myriad activities more accessible to patrons who are blind or have low vision. \nWhat will you learn?\n\nWho are “the blind”\nA brief history of audio description\nActive seeing\nThe act of editing what you see\nUsing language to conjure images\n \n\nThis webinar was organized with the assistance of ATA’s Audiovisual Division. \n  \nAbout the presenter\nDr. Joel Snyder is known internationally as one of the world’s first “audio describers\,” a pioneer in the field of Audio Description. \nSince 1981\, he has introduced audio description techniques in over 40 states and 63 countries and has made hundreds of live events\, media projects\, and museums accessible. The American Council of the Blind published Dr. Snyder’s book\, The Visual Made Verbal—A Comprehensive Training Manual and Guide to the History and Applications of Audio Description\, now available as an audio book voiced by Dr. Snyder\, in screen reader accessible formats\, in Braille\, and in English\, Polish\, Russian\, and Portuguese.
