Narration
Mike Dollar will record the narration in his home studio using African American voice artists.
Scratch-audio narration should be used while we are waiting for the final narration files.
Narration should be spoken with some emotion.
Avoid effects sounds; they can be confusing for sight impaired persons.

Universal Design for Sound
Universal Design for Sound
This is the practice, used in radio for many years, of adding audio to recordings that reinforce, and sometimes, outright tells a visual story for media that cannot be seen (by sight impaired persons). It would be rare to utilize every audio option simultaneously.
Voice narration should be spoken with some emotion emotion directly to the story
Added VO can be used, sparingly, to provide a sense of place or an activity
Environment should provide a sense of place
Foley should provide cues to events that are happening
Music should add emotion that cannot be seen in the events
Note: special effects sounds can be confusing for sight-impaired persons and should be avoided.
Reference: Prairie Home Companion live radio broadcast video
Theme Song: 00:05 - 00:10 (setting up the cowboy genre)
Foley: 03:07 - 3:15 (traveling by horse)
Scoring: 03:23 - 3:50 (setting sense of mood)
Environment 04:50 - (piano &laughing in a saloon)
