How to Direct a Voiceover for TV Promos


Listen Later

TV promos are small but perfectly formed. 

  • Definitely: short and simple.

So how tricky can it be to direct a voiceover to picture, get them to interpret the script, take on board the nuances you've built into the promo, voice to the music and up- sound, voice to time, make every syllable count, create intrigue and excitement and land your message - all in 30 seconds (or less)?

  •  Er... easy, right?

In this episode of Talking Creative - I run through a typical promo session.

We cover:

  • What happens right at the start of the session
  • Directing the main part of the script
  • Timing
  • Performance
  • Finding the clues in the script
  • Directing the tags
  • Selling - but not selling
