Approaches for E-learning Voice Over and Narrations

Below are approaches for voice-over e-learning and narrations. Every approach is unique and none of them is better or worse than the other, but the application of any approach is highly dependent on the material being covered. For example, we find that long statements on company guidelines and policy might be better summarized, while short important phrases can be repeated verbatim. Narrations for e-learning material usually sounds like the following examples;

• Verbatim – the voice reads all the words as displayed on the screen.
• Descriptive – the voice describes the graphics seen on the screen. For instance, if you’re designing a course to show the product packaging process in a factory, you would have the narrator describe the procedures while the video shows them being demonstrated.
• Elaboration – the voice gives more information to the text displayed.
• Paraphrasing – the voice summarizes the text. The main role of the voice over artist in this approach is to give key information that will provide an explanatory summary.

Tips to Get the Best Voice-over Production for E-Learning and Narration Services  

• The Voice: The identity of the piece to be conveyed is determined by the tone of the voice actor adopting. A professional voice over artist will maintain a consistent style and rhythm throughout the entire series of e-learning modules. This enhances the voice actor to maintain authority and authenticity as well as originality and conversational state of the script. This approach will enable learners to feel comfortable and as if they are listening to someone professional and pleasant to listen to. A pleasant voice with the right tone gives a listening boost to the script.
• The Script: The nature of the script will influence the listening nature of your intended audiences. To begin with, first have a clear idea of what your project is all about, the overall e-learning objectives, how long the narration will be, the script should sound natural and conversational. The script should also utilize the approaches given earlier necessary to walk listeners through your recording.
• Using Experts; Make use of great-sounding voice actors and professionals who have already ironed out all the styles and techniques in voice over to enhance the production of effective e-learning voice overs.
• Mapping Out: It is essential to give a detailed approach to what will be contained in your e-learning and narrations voice over. Have a list of key ideas and objectives, then map them out to the flow of the script, match the tone, also map the images, videos, and graphics that you will be using.
• Session Time: You can give an estimation of how long the narrator will take. Remember, 100 to 150 words takes approximately one minute to read aloud and about the same for your audience to read on-screen, so with this in mind, you will be able to work out how many words you need to record.
• Give a Break: Positively, if your script is long, know the benefit of taking a break because without a break you risk overburdening the senses of your audience and lowering their concentration. The break gives listeners time to digest the information before they move on. When giving a break, signal to your listeners that you are going on a break and also signal them that it’s time to continue with the next piece of information.
• Testing; Written words can deceive you even after spending hours. You need to hear your script being voiced and examine whether it’s good or needs some improvement. Test if the pacing is right, is the script creative enough, and if the points are made.
• Use Simple Language: Know your audiences very well and use the language that will be easy for them to understand. Only use terms they are familiar with as this will aid in their learning experience.
• Proofread and Edit: Revise your script and correct the error that you have made and improve the flow. Error checking itself is really important, as you will probably stumble over bad grammar and spelling you would have missed before. A perfect script gives a chance of delivering the best performance, so it’s well worth your time and trouble to make it presentable.
• Avoid Background Noise: Do away with background noises as they can distract your audiences. You can achieve this by recording and producing your over in professional studios.
