Voiceover is a production technique where a non-diegetic voice is used in a radio, television, film, theatre or other presentation.
The commercial use of voiceover in advertising has been popular since the beginning of radio broadcasting. In the early years, before effective sound recording and mixing, announcements were produced “live” and at-once in a studio with the entire cast, crew and, usually, orchestra.
More recent technological developments in recording and editing have transformed this process. The use of computers has made editing operations faster and easier to execute with software, and the use of hard-drives for storage has made recording cheaper. Today, the process of making a recording has become both more complicated, and yet easier to perform.
Both male and females can create voiceovers and often a specific gender and age bracket is chosen to promote a particular product to appeal to a certain target market (e.g. a company selling baby cloths would probably choose a woman with a caring motherly voice for voiceover advertising for their company).

Corporate CD-ROM Production
CD-ROMs (Compact Disc – Read Only Memory) are a medium that stores data that can be read by computers. The CD was originally developed for audio recording and playback, but it was adapted by Sony and Philips to hold binary data in 1985.
S.E.O. Technologies Pty Ltd can produce CD-ROMs for your company for a variety of purposes. Whether for distribution to clients and customers as a guide to your organisation and services, via the Internet, at corporate annual general meetings, business conferences, or at your place of business. It can act as an interactive and multimedia business card or pamphlet, highlighting the features of your business in a high-tech, professional and dynamic manner. It can also be used as a resource, whether for training, information guide or company library resource.
These CD-ROMs can incorporate corporate presentations (such as an automated powerpoint presentation with audio and voice over), annual reports, images, sound recordings, interactive software demonstrations, flythrough videos and much more.
Development of the CD-ROM
CD-ROMs, as mentioned above, were developed from audio CDs. They are identical in appearance to audio CDs, though the formatting is different. CD-ROMs cannot be overwritten unless they are user-writable CD-R and CD-RWs. Drives that read CD-ROMs come in different speeds and are rated relative to audio CDs (eg 1x or 1-speed which gives a data transfer rate of 150 kilobytes per second).
CD-ROMs are divided into sectors, with 2352 bytes in each sector. A standard 74 min CD-ROM contains 333,000 sectors, though there are CD-ROMs of different capacities. CD-ROMs have many benefits over previous recording mediums, such as floppy disks, from transfer rates to storage capacity. Other newer portable devices for data storage include DVD-ROMs and USB flash drives. The latter has the benefit of not being easily damaged, as CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs are easily scratched which damages the data stored within.
