Voice-Over

In order to make our videos for our website, we had to use voice-overs as a way to tell our stories about the places we have been to. The voice-overs were made by using our smart phones to record our voices. The voice-overs had to be done in a quiet room because the recording had to be clear without any distractions of other noises. Therefore, I asked the others in my group (including myself) to do voice-overs at home based on each countries we have each been to. That way we all had the time and space to record and re-record voices to make them perfect and precise. I suggested the time limit should be about 2 minutes maximum because the videos are only suppose to be an introduction for each of the countries.

During the process of recording my voice, I made sure that I wrote out what I wanted to say about each country. By doing this, it means that I was prepared and if I made any mistakes then I could go back and repeat what I said by looking at my notes. However, I experienced some difficulties, especially because of my noisy household. But even when I managed to find the right time and space to record, I kept stuttering and talking either too fast or too slow. As a result, I ended up re-recording most of my voice-overs and some of them were split into several recordings which I will have to combine.

Once Catherine and Zara completed their recordings, they sent me the files on my email. This is where I used it for the next step of project which is editing and adding them to a video.
