voiceover

voiceover
Noun
pl: voiceovers

This term describes the specific technical process and the resulting audio track of off-screen narration. It carries a professional connotation, typically associated with studio production, advertising, and cinematic storytelling, where the voice serves as an invisible guide for the viewer.

While it functions as a standard countable noun, it is frequently used in industry jargon to refer to the general concept of narration. In professional settings, it is often shortened to VO in scripts and production notes to distinguish it from on-camera dialogue.
