What Is Voice Over?​

Voice over is an audiovisual production technique. The voice is recorded off-screen and used to narrate a story or explain information in a radio, filmmaking, television production, theater, etc.

Narration and non-narration are two main types of voice overs. In narration, a voice over describes the on-screen action and tells the audience what’s happening. While in non-narration, voice over tends to be informative, directive, and educational. No matter the type, only voice over with audio clarity, inflection and vocal tone, pacing, and proper pronunciation can be considered good.

Why Professional Voice Over Agency Matters?

Brands feed their audience unique content in commercials, documentaries, event announcements, news reports, promotional movie trailers, video games, and other presentations. But you can have a leg up over your competitors by conveying your message to your customers, listeners, viewers, and readers in their mother tongue.

People always feel more connected in their mother tongue. Besides, audiovisual content in the native language results in better retention and retrieval of information. To wider your market internationally, you need perfect voice recording that sounds natural and idiomatic.

Voice Over Services vs Dubbing Services – When To Use

When talking about video translation, we either add translated subtitles on the screen or replace the original soundtrack with translated voice over or dubbing. Voice over and dubbing are two sides of the same coin. They both serve the purpose of interpreting a message to a new audience.

Voice over refers to recording a soundtrack in a new language by a voice over actor and it pays less attention to the tonality and emotion of the original soundtrack. On the other hand, the dubber imitates the original audio’s lip-sync, expression, and tone, making dubbing more precise in emotive, tonal, and technical richness.

How do you decide when to use voice over or dubbing services? It highly depends on the type of audio file. Generally, voice over is ideal for multimedia content such as advertisements, documentaries, e-learning videos, games, training videos. Dubbing works best for video content such as movies and TV series. The dubbin is required to retain the tonality and emotion of the original soundtrack while matching on-screen action.
