Features/Business Deployment

As professionals in video and audio production, Broadmedia Studios Corporation has a variety of know-how that has been certified for quality by external organizations. As part of our efforts to promote information accessibility, Broadmedia Studios has been producing subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing since 1999, and audio description for the blind and visually impaired since 2012. To contribute to the creation of a society where as much content as possible is provided with audio description so that everyone can enjoy it with peace of mind, Broadmedia Studios decided to launch the Audio Describer Training Course in April 2024.

"Audio Describer Training Course"

This online course is a comprehensive course that teaches everything from conceptual understanding to practical skills in script production necessary to become a describer. This course is especially designed to improve specific skills for translators and those who wish to expand their activities in the video and publishing business. The course can be taken from anywhere in Japan with an Internet connection, and questions can be asked in real time to the lecturers, who are active professional describers.

Professional training is essential for describers, whose job requires the skill to express various visual information in appropriate language and using a limited number of words so as not to interrupt the main sound of the video. We may outsource work to those who complete all courses and pass the final examination at a certain level or higher. Through practical training, students can further hone their skills and become professionals in the entertainment business who are in charge of audio commentary for the films, TV programs and other content of major studios and international VOD clients.

The Production business of Broadmedia Studios Corporation has been reviewed by the Trusted Partner Network (TPN) in accordance with the Content Security Standards of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), and Broadmedia Studios holds a current assessment. The protection of clients’ content and information assets is of the utmost importance.
