3 Keys To Great Narration Voice Overs

by | Oct 29, 2016 | Voice Over Articles | 7 comments

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a narrator on The History Channel, Animal Planet or National Geographic?

Or how about the voice on an instructional video?

These types of voiceovers are known as long form because they’re…well, long. The scripts can be tens or even hundreds of pages long.

In these types of voiceover jobs the basics still apply, of course. But there are also some special techniques to help you deliver longer scripts in a consistent, professional manner without stumbling or running out of air.

Proper preparation for a long form narration starts before you even open the microphone. I’ve got 3 keys to great narration voiceovers for you today.

    Hi..this is great info…I get these long form opportunities from time to time. What you said about breathing after a thought as opposed to trying to breath after every sentence makes perfect sense…How much should we charge for this type of project?…Hope you’re Boot Camp was successful. Hopefully I can make one next year.

    Thanks so much;
    Ernie Hodge
