Syncing voice over sydney to video is fundamental for the production to make sense to its audience. However the piecing together of narration to video, as well as music and sound effects so that it all flows perfectly can be a challenge, especially when you have a lot of people involved in the project. Typically you will have a client, video production company, sound engineer, copywriter and voice over artist all involved so co-ordination is absolutely key. As long as everybody co-operates and there is a cohesive game plan then it can go fairly smoothly.  Fortunately at Crash Symphony Productions we do all of the above things in house which minimises the complexity.

Voice Over Sydney: Syncing to Video

Here are some things that can help the voice over sydney synch to video go more smoothly.

  1. The storyboard for the video or piece of animation is signed off with the client and a voice over script is developed. At the same time any music or sound effect requirements are determined.

  1. The voice over artist is selected for the project and then the voice over sydney is recorded.

  1. It’s now time to shoot the video or complete the animation using the voice over sydney as a timing guide. The film is edited accordingly and the voice track altered to fit the video.

  1. This is when the fine tuning takes place. The voice over can be processed to fit perfectly with the video and any music or sound effects can be introduced at the appropriate times. The soundtrack can then be mixed and finalised,

  1. The client gives his approval to the soundtrack and it’s then incorporated into the video timeline so it all flows together seamlessly. The video is now good to go.

There is another school that consists of recording the pictures first, edit the video and then writing the final script to fit the pictures. As a matter of course the producer has a structure in mind, storyboard or other, to actually collect the story in video first. Here voice over is the last step and it’s tricky, because the narration should actually match the pictures. What you see is what you hear kind of process.
