Back in the 80s, I was lucky enough to be close to the front row for Australian music legend John Farnham’s legendary cover of AC/DC’s "It’s a Long Way to the Top" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. For those who might not know, Farnham is an iconic singer whose career spans decades. He is known for his powerful voice and captivating performances. His cover of AC/DC's jukebox standard was vocally stunning, musically flawless, and full of energy – even today, it’s hailed as one of the greatest live covers of all time. But what really makes it so great? Well, John could have easily just kept it simple with a guitar, bass, drums, and backing singers. But he asked, "How do we make an iconic Australian song even better?" His answer: add a symphony orchestra. This creative twist transformed a hard rock classic into a performance that resonated across generations, from screaming teenagers to their grandparents. It wasn't just about making the song bigger; it was about making it unforgettable. During the Jack’s Back Tour, John also brought in up-and-coming musicians, believing in their "wild card" factor, and played up to their strengths on stage. The result? A performance where everyone, from the entire band to the audience, was having a great time. (Just look at the smile on Dobbs Franks' (The Orchestra conductor's) face)! The same could be said for your voice demo. You can go down the "usual" path and create a demo that sounds good and showcases your voice, OR you could take a page out of Farnham's book and make something unforgettable.

I will admit I am not a huge fan of watching the Super Bowl. Rather I tune in for the halftime show and Usher was wonderful. However, there was a commercial directed by a blind person, featuring a blind man and audio described by a blind woman. The commercial was about a low vision man taking a selfie and what that actually looks like from his viewpoint.   This commercial was a wonderful opportunity to expose the general public to what it is like to have low vision. It was audio described by my blind colleague #Nefertiti Matos Olivares. But from what friends have shared the audio description didn’t totally work properly. So, I am sharing here for those who missed it or were not aware. Also, in the comments I have provided the #Forbes article on the blind director. #Accessibility #AccessibilityForAll #AccessAwareness #ItsAccessibleBut #Blind #blindness #LowVision #VisuallyImpaired #Video #AudioDescription #AudioDescribeEverything #TV #Streaming #ThingsDisabledPeopleKnow #DisabilityInclusion #DisabledAndCapable  #RepresentationMatters https://lnkd.in/eu6HcvfZ
