Join David Franz for an in-depth discussion in this video Editing a voiceover, part of Pro Tools 10 Essential Training.
When editing speech for a voiceover, a monologue, or lead vocals, it's customary…to edit the words so that there are no stuttering, stammering, hesitation, or…mistakes in the reading or the performing of the material.…Many times it's also beneficial in voiceovers to eliminate unnecessary pauses or…open spaces between words and sentences.…This will increase the pace of the performance and is done when there's a lot of…breathing pauses, or if you want to intensify the impact of the delivery, like a…fast talking radio DJ might do.…
Overall the idea is to create a perfect performance.…When you're editing speech or vocals, it's always a good idea to have the…script, the text, or the lyrics as a printed guide for making notes about where…to place your edits.…In this case, I've included them in the comments column in the track, right…down here.…You'll also see that I have added some markers into the session.…These markers indicate a few of the places that I have identified as some of the…good performances in this raw take.…
