Reasons why voice-over should be in your video strategy

Create a personal connection

By adding a voice-over to your videos, you're including one of your most unique features-your voice! This helps you create a more personal connection with your audience that you can't accomplish with text alone.

Complement your on-screen visuals

You only have so much screen space when you're creating your videos. Between text, images, and anything else you want to show users, it can get overcrowded very quickly. That's where voice-over comes in! Use your voice to explain what's happening in your video.

Make your videos more professional and informative

Screen space isn't the only reason voice-over is valuable. Voice-over is also a common tactic used in professional video production for ads on social media and tv.

The best types of videos to use voice-over for

Tutorial videos

From recipes and workout routines to beauty regiments and style breakdowns, show and tell your audience how to do something you're an expert at by including a voice-over in your video. Adding a voice-over will not only make your tutorial easier for your audience to comprehend, but it will also help them get a greater sense of your brand's personality and uniqueness.

Promote your products and services

You want to let consumers know how your product will make their lives easier while also creating a connection with them. Highlight your product or sale by using one of our professionally designed templates and add in a voice-over that expresses your brand personality. Include emotional elements relating to your brand, like humor, adventure or intrigue.

Add to a presentation

Make presenting easier by doing most of the heavy-lifting before actually giving your presentation. Once you've created your video and are satisfied with the photos, video clips, music, and text, add your voice-over. Include information that you would as though you were presenting live.

Tips for recording your voice-over

Write a script

Make sure to draft a script before recording, highlight key talking points and include start and stop markers in correspondence with pauses and transitions in your video.

Record somewhere with good acoustics

Where you record matters just as much as what and how you record. Make sure to find a quiet spot with good acoustics to reduce other sounds around you as much as possible.

Talk clearly and practice prior to recording

Practice makes perfect, so make sure to rehearse your script several times before you start recording. We recommend watching the preview of your video while you record your voice to make sure the voice-over will match up with your project.
