Whilst working with the Newcastle United Men’s team, training and support was then provided for Audio Descriptive commentary for the Women’s Team & Development teams, before working with teams outside of the region, eventually expanding into rugby, cricket and combat sports.
“I believe that Sport, and Entertainment should be for everyone. So many of us have the ability to help tell the stories that people want to hear, but not everyone realises their potential. That’s where Geordie Voice came in”

how does ADC training work?
Depending on the size of your team, ADC training for Live Sports is best done in-person and the initial session lasts approximately 4 hours (typically a morning or afternoon session) or in a few sessions over whatever video calling platform you use. All that is required for an in-person session is a quiet meeting room (or similar) and a TV with a USB drive.
Training can be catered to complete beginners, but those with a basic understanding of Audio Description OR live sports commentary already, is a bonus.

Practical assessment(s)
After the first session, a number of additional feedback sessions can be booked in as part of the consultation fee, to assess progression and any areas that need improvement. Glen also works closely with local charities to make sure that the commentary provided is always fit for purpose.
As part of the training, Autism Spectrum Disorder-friendly Commentary training will also be provided, but if you wish this to be covered more extensively, please let us know when booking a session.
Price is based on group size, so even if it's only an estimate, please disclose these details when enquiring about a session. All of the equipment needed to fulfil Live ADC commentary both in-arena/stadium, and for broadcast will be covered in the sessions and support will always be offered for any technical questions after the initial session.
