Video Production - Voice Over One of the simplest and most powerful types of dialog is the voice over. Voice over dialog is a detached element that floats over your video like a voice from above. The voice over gives you the most control over the pacing and quality of spoken word. Unlike on camera dialog, the voice over is all recorded in a controlled environment. Usually read from a script, the voice is consistent and easily edited for pacing and placement. Your on air voice over talent can be a professional or from your own organization. While most may be reluctant to perform in front of a camera, reading some copy from a printed page into a microphone is a non-intimidating process.
