How to Direct a Voiceover for TV Promos

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
