Remarks
- CODA Hong Kong is creating a series of children's storybooks about the experiences of deaf families, presented in sign language videos with Chinese subtitles. These resources aim to promote understanding and empathy towards deaf individuals and their families among young children. To further enhance the accessibility and engagement of these videos for hearing children in Hong Kong, we are seeking Cantonese voice-over volunteers. By adding a Cantonese narration, we can make the stories more accessible to a wider audience of young learners, including those who may not be familiar with sign language or reading Chinese subtitles. This initiative will help us to promote inclusivity and raise awareness about deaf culture and family life in an engaging and age-appropriate manner. We will provide the volunteer with the sign language video of the children's storybook, which includes Chinese subtitles for reference. We will also offer guidance on the desired tone and pace for the voice-over, tailored for a young audience. If a recording session at a designated location is required, we will provide the necessary recording equipment and a suitable environment. If the volunteer is recording remotely, we can offer advice on achieving good audio quality. Our team will be available to answer any questions and provide feedback throughout the recording process. We appreciate the volunteer's contribution to making our educational resources more accessible to children.
