I coach beginner and working AD pros. I enjoy sharing feedback on existing AD content, finding ways to integrate existing passions along with accessibility, and how working with blind pros makes all the difference.
“I had asked Roy if he would listen to some of a specific film for which I had narrated the AD, to see if he agreed with my overall assessment. I had thought he would give me generalizations but he went far beyond that, going into granular detail on specifics. He has a very finely tuned ear and combines it with an ability to articulate exactly what he’s hearing. If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown of your work in AD, he’s the man.”

If you are wondering if you should work with Roy Samuelson — the answer is a resounding YES you should, my friend!
I had the pleasure of working with Roy when I took my first Audio Description class in 2021. His instruction on how he approaches an AD script was so insightful I also began using it in other voiceover genres as well- to much success. He has always been quick to respond to any questions I may have and is kind, considerate, and HONEST in his answers.
However, last year I made an audio description demo with Roy. This is when the rubber met the road for my audio description career. I not only left the session with a killer audio description demo but received a one on one master class on the true art of audio description.
I am happy to say that audio description has become a very large part of my daily voiceover work. I find it challenging, and meaningful. I’ve met wonderful people and worked with incredible post-production teams.
Thank you, Roy Samuelson!
“Roy is incredibly knowledgeable about AD. I found his approach to this unique VO genre thoughtful and encouraging. Roy also gave me ideas on how to create my own content and to seek partnerships within the blind community.” — Sandra Manwiller, voice actor
