The Importance Of Voice Overs In Trailers

For our final draft we decided to include voice overs, as it will help make the underlying story clearer.

Important things to remember for voice overs...

  • Clarity - it is vital that our message and story is portrayed correctly to our audience. Different voices can portray different things, for example, an energetic voice for a children's movie, or a deep husky voice for a horror.

  • Pacing - it is important that the voice over happens at the correct pace/ speed. Too fast or too slow could ruin the effect you're trying to create

  • Enunciation - often people can't always pronounce or enunciate words correctly, so it is important that the voice over knows the script well, and knows how to say each word in order for it to sound professional.

  • Voice Acting - as well as being clear, well paced and enunciating words, the voice over must also be someone who can act. Voice overs tend to need to be a little over the top, who is able to adapt their voice to any given situation.
