Episode title and number: Featuring Rudy Gaskins | Society of Voice Arts and Sciences #5

Brief summary of the show:

"But for everyone that's involved or who's on any level in the process of making these choices you have to push back wherever you see a situation that is lacking in awareness of diversity and inclusion. And stand up to it by pointing to the opportunity for positive change, for inclusion." ~Rudy Gaskins

One phone conversation was all it took for a mainstream company to make the decision to embrace inclusion. We are so excited to share with you that three categories of Audio Description will be presented at this year's Voice Arts Awards Gala in December. Rudy Gaskins, Co-Founder of the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences sits down with us to discuss this exciting news!
