Tips for Working with Voiceover Talent
Hey Gang! I'm working on a post about working with voiceover talent for e-learning. I know a lot of us record our own audio, but for those of you who have worked with professional voiceover talent, ...
Great post!
Here are some of my tips that I've found working with voiceover narrators:
- I like to insert <pause> if I want the narrator to pause in between sentences or paragraphs.
- Like Rachel, I like to send a separate script to the client before sending it to the narrator so they can weigh in on verbiage and pronunciation
- Reminding the narrator to have a conversational tone and not reading from a script
- If do-overs are needed, asking the narrator to listen to the first batch of clips and mimicking the tone, style and volume as best as he/she can
I can't wait to learn from others!
