Voicing professional narrations
Go over this checklist before recording your voiceover:
- Practice reading your copy out loud Listen to your words. They should sound comfortable, conversational, even informal.
- Avoid technical jargon That demands extra effort from your listeners, and you might lose them.
- Short sentences work best If you find yourself stumbling over certain phrases, rewrite them.
- Stress important words and phrases As you review your copy, underline important words. When you record your voiceover, you'll want to give those words extra emphasismore volume and punch.
- Mark pauses Mark logical breaks in narration with short parallel lines.
- Avoid overly smooth and constant pacing That's characteristic of a scripted delivery. You don't want to remind viewers that this is TV. It's real life. It's conversational.
- Punch up your voice Do not slip into a dull, monotone voice. Instead, add some zest and enthusiasm to your narration.
- Practice Record a couple of narrations and listen. Most first-time narrators mumble or swallow words. Have you made yourself clear?
- Don't pop your Ps and Ts As you say P- and T-words, you project a small blast of wind. Avoid speaking directly into the mic.
- Wear a headset It'll help you avoid popping Ps or speaking with too much sibilancean overemphasis on the S sound. And it'll help you minimize room noise and other extraneous sounds.
