What is Voice Over?
In voice-over, a person is speaking behind the scene as the video is displayed in front of viewers. The purpose of voice-over is to describe, highlight or explain the events taking place in the video.
There are two main types of voice overs.
- Narration: In this type, a voice describes onscreen actions.
- Non-narration: In this case, no action is taking place in the video, and the voice-over is descriptive. It is used for educational or informational purposes.

- Audio clarity
- Pacing
- Proper pronunciation
- Vocal tone
- Inflection
Steps to do a Voice Over
- Prepare: Ideally, you should choose a room equipped with sound-absorbing foam like professional voice-over artists. If not possible, find a quiet place with minimum background noises. The size of the room also matters, as too big rooms will sound distant while small ones have echo problems. You will need types of equipment like:
- Microphone: Instead of using the built-in mic on your laptop, get an external one for better results.
- Headphones/speaker: These are required to listen to your recording and edit accordingly.
- Audio software: This software facilitates you by eliminating background noise and having features of voice balancing and auto-transcription.
- Computer: You require a computer to run audio software, and record and edit your recordings.
- Write down script
Even if the message you are going to record might appear simple to you, still it’s better to write it down. This organizes all points and makes communication better. Practice your script loudly a few times before recording to avoid ‘ums’ and other mistakes.
- Trial
After practice, have a trial run. Position your mic 6-8 inches from your mouth and start recording. Listen to your recording and reposition the mic to see which position suits you best.
- Record
After going through trials, now its’ time to record the full-length voice-over. To get high-quality results you should focus on:-
- Clarity: You can achieve this by speaking slowly and pronouncing each word with clarity.
- Tone: Change your tone with the script. Adjust your tone according to the script. Bring some excitement in your voice where needed or pain while uttering sad stories. Avoid being monotonous.
- Mistakes: Perfect voice-over with no mistakes at all can happen only in an ideal world. Don’t worry about petty issues, just keep going. As you can edit small mistakes at the end. If you are not satisfied with the voice-over or have too many mistakes that are difficult to edit, redo the recording.
- Editing
You can take the help of a software program to help you edit your voiceover. First, listen to your voice-over, and note down the points you want to fix. Long silences, background noise, or speaking errors, you can edit all.
