So what is voice-over?
It is the recording of a new voice layer that is separate from the original voice in audio or video recordings. The process involves a voice actor recording a prepared script, which is then added to the original recording.
This service is useful in the following types of project:
- Radio and television commercials
- Presentations
- Games
- Full-length movies
Voice overs are useful every time you want to preserve the original speech in the background.

The voice-over process
This is mostly based on voice acting, so the first thing you need to do is get acquainted with different voice-over artists and pick the voice actor that you like. At Skrivanek, we have our own voice bank with demo reels, so all you have to do is select the best voice track for the job. We can help you in this selection, so that you pick someone who sounds natural in your recording.
The next step is all about preparing the script for the text to be recorded. This is something we can help you with – as at Skrivanek we work not only with translation and localisation specialists but also with copywriters who specialise in audio-visual communication.
Once your text is ready, the next step happens in our fully-equipped studio – a recording space where we can achieve crystal-clear, high-quality sound. Depending on the copy and your requirements, the recording process may take up to several days, as sometimes there is a need to make small adjustments or to rerecord a specific part of the text.
The final element of the process is all about adding the new voice-over to the original audio file or video file.
Why is voice-over important?
Primarily because it enables you to reach new audiences without the need to create new video/audio files, which is both time- and cost-effective. Thanks to our technological advances, you can take one video recording and create multiple versions of it using voice actors speaking different languages.
Now you can use these recordings in many different ways:
- In rich-media marketing campaigns in different countries
- On your multi-language website
- During your company’s training and onboarding processes
- For e-learning purposes, etc.
The essential elements of a good voice over
Voice-over, just like any other language service, needs to be localised. This means that the voice talent of your choice should be a native speaker in the given language. It is essential to make your recordings sound 100% natural to the new target audience.
Getting the right human voice is an absolute foundation for this service, but the audio engineers also play a huge role here. They can use advanced editing software to ensure the best quality for the final recording.
For the most demanding projects, it is sometimes beneficial to hire an acting coach or voice coach to allow the actor to achieve the best results from their vocal chords to achieve a natural pace. Sometimes lip sync and mouth movements may also be important, especially for some video projects.
