"The Voice Overs Lisa Erhard provided were fantastic! Exactly the sound I was
looking for! And fast turn around. " Zack McCarthy / Z107 / Vail, Colorado

What exactly is a Voice Over?
The term voice-over refers to a production technique where a voice is broadcast
live or pre-recorded in radio, television, film, theater and/or presentation. The
voice-over may be spoken by someone who also appears on-screen in other
segments (e.g. Famke Janssen/Jean Grey in X2) or it may be performed by a
specialist voice actor. Voice-over is also commonly referred to as "off camera"
commentary.

The term voice-over can also refer to the actual voice actor who performed the
recording. The terms voice actor, narrator, voice artist, announcer are all similarly
used.

Types and uses of voice-over
Voice Over as a commercial device
The commercial use of voice-over in advertising has been popular since the
beginning of radio broadcasting.

In the early years, before effective sound recording and mixing, announcements
were produced "live" and at-once in a studio with the entire cast, crew and,
usually, orchestra. A corporate sponsor hired a producer, who hired writers and
voice actors to perform comedy or drama.

The industry expanded very rapidly with the advent of television in the 1950s and
the age of highly produced serial radio shows ended. The ability to record
high-quality sound on magnetic tape also created opportunities, as has the
proliferation of home computers capable of recording, often using inexpensive
(even free) software and a microphone of reasonable quality.

Radio sweepers are used by radio stations as segues between songs that give
listeners a brief station identifier or promo, generally 20 seconds or less: "You're
listening to the soft sounds of [NAME] radio. Easy listening throughout the Bay
area."

Dry radio sweepers are voice only -- no music or sound effects.

Sweepers are also known as liners, bumpers, sweeps, station imaging, stingers,
IDs, promos, shotguns, voiceovers, and intros.

Radio Liner: Radio Liner has at least 2 meanings. It may refer to a short piece of
copy read live on the air by an announcer to promote a product. These Liners are
normally used in conjunction with pieces of programming a listener will tune into
specifically such as News, Weather or Traffic. These may also be known as
Sponsor Tags or Ad-Libs. Radio Liners may also be defined as the copy an Image
Voice will receive that promotes the radio station and it's contest or promotions.

Radio Imaging is the process of brand management for radio station's with audio
clips placed between songs.

Voice acting is the art of providing voices for animated characters (including those
in feature films, television series, animated shorts), doing voice-overs in radio and
television commercials, audio dramas, dubbed foreign language films, video games,
puppet shows, and amusement rides. An individual who performs such voice-only
roles is known as a voice actor or actress or as a voice artist. Voice acting may
also involve singing, although a second voice actor is sometimes cast as the
character's singing voice.

Other Professional Uses for the Voice:
Voice Prompt
A recorded message that is played by auto attendants, interactive voice response
(IVR) systems, message-on-hold systems and other voice processing tools. The
"prompt" is a request to input some data; a recording that does not ask for
feedback is more properly called a voice "message."

Voice Messaging
Using voice mail as an alternative to electronic mail, in which voice messages are
intentionally recorded, not because the recipient was not available. Lisa Erhard
from MyVoiceOverService.com can customize your outgoing message to your
specifications.
