Text from dup article

This was written for an article Voice-overs which is now a redirect. Incorporate anything into the current text if necessary:

This is a term in filmmaking and is used to describe the technique by which a filmmaker places the sound of a human voice or voices over images. These sounds may or may not be related to the images being shown. Sometimes voiceovers can create ironic counterpoint with the images being shown; sometimes also they can be random voices not directly connected to the people seen on the screen.

A narration is a typical voice over.

In the context of the film Every Day Except Christmas, the voice-overs are not synchronized with the mouth movements of the people speaking, which is the normal way we see and hear people on screen. (Seelip sync for other ways in which this works). Rather the voice-overs are segments of conversations from different places and different people who appear in the sequence we are seeing.

Experts, please contribute...

This article is poorly-written, IMO, and fails use proper film terminology (voice-over should be indicated as non-diagetic sound, for instance). It also skimps on examples; citing Detour and apparently Out of the Past would be a good start. Please help. Jonathan F 21:18, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

=List of TV Shows with Voice-overs??

I think this article would benefit from a list of current TV Shows using voiceovers as a prominent form of narration... Anyone willing to tackle this? Andfound815
