"We use Voice overs in the media probably more than you have first noticed, but they are all recorded in a very similar way.

Commercials for example use the voice as the sales pitch for a product and are mixed loud to punch through the TV to grab as much attention as they can.

In documentary's, the voice over is helping to tell the story that the images cannot do alone so guide us though topics and focus our attention toward specific types of interest. These are generally a lot more natural in their tone and often use warm familiar voices we are comfortable listening to.

On TV shows, Drama/Sitcoms for example, the voice over is often recorded with the main character of the show as if a thought was in their head and they are welcoming you, the viewer, to see their exciting life or enjoy their comedy adventures etc. Imagine ‘Sex in the City' and how Carrie opens the show with some collective thoughts, we enjoy the episode then she closes the show with a thoughtful conclusion or question about t her life and what we have just seen."
