## Definition

A voiceover is narration or dialogue recorded separately from on-screen visuals and laid over the video during editing, providing audio context without showing the speaker on camera.

## Extended Definition

Voiceover is a core component of faceless video production, documentary filmmaking, explainer videos, and corporate content. The audio can be a human recording or AI-generated text-to-speech, and it plays over B-roll footage, graphics, or AI-generated visuals. A well-produced voiceover requires clear audio quality (minimal room noise, consistent microphone distance, controlled pacing) and strong script writing that conveys information efficiently without visual support. AI voiceover tools such as ElevenLabs, Murf, and Play.ht generate natural-sounding speech from text in minutes, removing the need for on-camera or recording studio access. Voiceover is paired with captions in most social media video to reach viewers watching without sound. BlitzReels integrates AI voiceover generation directly into the video creation pipeline alongside captioning and visual generation.
