Video Transcript
  • Okay, let's go over some of the basic principles of voiceover. First of all, there are many different types of voiceover, including commercial, such as you might hear on the radio, or a video actor on TV animation and cartoon video game narration, such as for documentaries, audio audiobooks, industrial
  • and corporate videos, E-learning trailers and promos announcing such as you might hear, which train is coming next at the subway station.
  • And adr, which is automated dialogue replacement. That's mostly used for post-production with TV and film when an actor will go in and redo their lines because of some particular reason during the production.
  • But the type that we want, mostly for our purposes with copilot designer is conversational character acting, and the tone of that should be very natural and authentic.
  • So you want someone who can deliver a performance that feels like it's just having a conversation with someone in the room, a couple of feet away from them in most cases.
  • So it should be very natural and conversational. It's very important to have clear pronunciation and enunciation. If their pronunciation is bad, people won't be able to understand what's being said and will miss out on the message.
  • The pacing is also very important. If the voiceover is too fast, the audience is going to kind of fall behind and not be able to keep up and get all the information that's being delivered.
  • If it's too slow, the audience will lose interest and you'll put them to sleep. So to summarize, the basic principles are that we want natural, conversational, voiceover, clear pronunciation, and enunciation of words, and a medium pace, not too fast, not too slow.
