Course details

Voice-over recordings have a wide variety of applications in business, education and recreation. We hear recorded voices on radio and TV, in films, in public places, on the Internet, in video games and over the telephone. The persuasive and emotional power of the spoken word is undeniable, but its success does not depend on voice quality alone. An effective voice-over springs from the speaker’s ability to deliver a story, idea or message in a captivating and memorable way.

This unit will provide an introduction to various types of voice-over uses and instruction on the practical skills and knowledge needed to pursue voice-over recording on a professional level. Participants can expect exposure to and practice in voice-over for advertisements, documentaries, news presentation, film dubbing and more. This unit also includes vocal exercises and practice recordings for playback and critique.
