Voiceover or not?
Hi,
I'm looking to hear your thoughts on when it's absolutely necessary to add voiceover. In my last role, we didn't have the budget or the resources to hire voiceover actors, and we didn't have t...
My company also does not have the budget to hire voiceover actors so I end up doing all of the voiceovers myself. I have found that the Storyline360 editing options are good but initially started by using the Repplay360 editing is where I originally started. Depending on your content topic and length it may be beneficial to even add your own voice to help elaborate on visual content. Some people learn better by hearing something vs. seeing/reading it.
The downside of voice -if your topic content changes you not only have to edit the visuals, but you also have to edit the voice piece too. We have found this most problematic because we didn't have a record of exactly what things were stated so we ended up having to review the entire piece again and marking where edits were needed. I've since downloaded an audio script tracker doc so we don't have to do the full content review in the future.
Overall, I do think having audio or voiceover in some areas is definitely helpful and can help break up long content too. Hope this helps!
