Audio Description Narrator (Amazon)

The **Narrator** is the voice heard when listening to Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed on Amazon with the Audio Description turned on.

The voice was created using Amazon Polly, specifically Joanna, Female.

## History

During Transformers, they will occasionally describe things happening on screen to visually impaired viewers. The narrator will often split descriptions as to not disrupt character dialogue, not wanting to talk over them, using long stretch of silence to describe things. This sometimes means they will have to describe events before or after they happen.

However, there are times they do end up talking over dialogue.

* Shaggy saying "Go ahead" and Scooby saying "R'ok" in Shot 5.
* Michael Buffer saying "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" in Shot 26.
	+ This is part of the soundtrack, however, and not dialogue.
* Buff Shaggy saying "forever!" and Scooby Brainiac shouting "No!" in Shot 37.
* Fred saying "careful gang" in Shot 40.
* Scooby Brainiac saying "It appears..." in Shot 48.

They mention how Scooby becomes the Tasmanian Devil, but later refer to him as just Tasmanian Devil before switching Scooby in the same sentence. This is a very weird mistake.

They describe Scooby Brainiac's white hair and eyebrows when he grows them, but not his glasses. They do later mention his glasses when he transforms back.

## Trivia

* They mention the "camera", unintentionally breaking the fourth wall.
* The timbre and cadence of the narrators vocal performance indicate it is a text-to-speech synthesizer rather than a voice actor.
