A voice-over, or VO, is verbal audio played over video.
A voice-over, abbreviated VO, is verbal audio, such as narration or commentary, that is played over video while the images are shown, rather than the speaker appearing on camera. In broadcast and production, a voice-over lets a narrator or reporter describe, explain, or comment on what the viewer sees, carrying the spoken content while the visuals tell the story. It is a fundamental technique in news, documentary, and many other forms of video.
Producing a clear voice-over depends on capturing the speaker's audio cleanly and mixing it with the video, so the narration is intelligible over the images. Microphones, recorders, and audio equipment must connect through dependable cable so the voice is captured and reproduced clearly.
In commercial broadcast and professional video, voice-overs are a routine element of storytelling. The audio cable carrying the narration must preserve the signal so the spoken content is clear over the video.
Because producing a clear voice-over depends on capturing the speaker's audio cleanly and mixing it with the video, microphones, recorders, and audio equipment must connect through dependable cable so the narration is intelligible over the images in broadcast and professional video.
Recognizing the role of the audio cable helps in understanding voice-over production, since the narration must reach the mix cleanly to remain intelligible over the video in commercial broadcast and professional production work.
