How is voice-over work done?!


Question: How is voice-over work done!?
Answers:
In my experience, voice-over work is done in a studio setting!. I usually do voice work for commercials (tv, radio, and documentories)!. The client will send me a script, tell me how the read is (exciting, distinguished, slow paced, etc) and what specific dialect they are looking for (southern, southwest, NY accent, LA, etc!.)!. Most times this read is done in a studio and then sent to the client!. Sometimes, the read will be done live with the director and client on the phone giving you input as to what they want!. After the read, they tell me to slow down, or punch it ''here'', a wee bit more drawl, etc!. In a situation like this, when you're done, you are usually done!. In a situation where I record it and then either send them a voice track on line or send a Cd, there may be things that need to be adjusted in the read!. And this way takes a wee bit longer because of the turnaround of the editing and re-takes!.

For movies; if it is animation, the voice tracks are usually done first, then the animation is created around the story!. If it is a live actor movie, most of the audio tracks for the actors is recorded at the time of the filming!. But, more often then not, there will be places where the recording will not be good enough and will have to be re-recorded in a studio environment!. For documentories; usually, the film is shot, edited and produced, then the voice is added!. Think of a National Geographic special on the American Bald Eagle!. The eagle is not talking, someone else is creating the dialog!. These are done 'post', in a studio with a script then edited and added to the film!.

ADR is automatic dialog replacement, and this is done to fix those real-time film recordings that just did not work out!. The actor will go into the booth, have the script of what they said during the take and work on fitting the dialog back into the places needed!. Sometimes during ADR work, the script may actually change!. Ever watch a movie and the words spoken do not really match the voice!? They hope you do not pick up on that!. It is a less expensive way to replace dialog than to re-shoot a whole scene, just for dialog's sake!.

Voice over work is a broad arena, covering many areas, like tv, radio, movies, documentories!. It is good work if you can find it, and someone out there is looking for your voice, if you know where to send it to be heard!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Usually in a sound booth in a recording studio!.

If the voice is being done before the video (such as with animation) then it can just be a little cupboard they sit in!.

If the voice is being done after the picture (such as with dubbing into different languages, or sometimes voicing over for documentary) then it will be a larger booth with a TV screen so that the performer can talk and see what they're talking about at the same time!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Quite often, the person doing the voice over will watch the video and synchonize his/her speech with the video!. Other times, the voice-over is done first and the animators modify the images to match the voice pattern!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

they show the movie or program cut the sound and record a voice then play that with the videoWww@Enter-QA@Com
