How to do a voice over for video?

I am using the Adobe CS4 Production Premium suit to produce my first training video. I need to go back and do voice overs to clean up the audio. I am looking for the ideal setup to do this. I am new to the whole video production arena, so these questions I am sure are very basic:
First off, it is my understanding that the speaker needs to be watching the final cut of the video as to keep in line in pace with him moving lips. The person in question is not a professional, thus not accustom to listening to himself as he is recorded. Should he be listening to the audio that he is going to be replacing (the playback), the live audio he is creating, or both? If both, I am assuming one channel is the live and the other is the playback, correct?
I am looking at USB style microphones and some of them have headphone monitoring ports on the microphone that result in zero latency. This sort of implies to me that I cannot rely on Soundbooth to play the audio/video and mix back in the live audio for the speaker. That if mixing the two together for the headset, I will need to do that all outside of the computer. Is that correct?
Or is the simplest setup to encode the video clip to DVD and have the speaker simply watch it on a regular TV and listen to the audio playback with the headset and I monitor him via Soundbooth?
As you can tell, I am simply trying to figure out how to setup everything to make the voice over recording as quick and easy as possible, both of which I know it is not. I am open to ideas, I am even more open to any web sites or books that might help explain and talk about how to do this type of voice overs.

How to add record voice over for a video file

I have a video file (wmv) already prepared, and all I would like to now do is record a voice over for this file using Soundbooth CS4. My hunch is that I need to import the video into a multi-track file, and then I expect I'll export the multitrack file back to the WMV when I'm done. The problem is that when I hit the record button, I'm expecting to see the video playing but I don't.
Is there a way to add a voice-over / narration to an exisiting video file (in this case a video file without an audio track at all)

When you are recording, you are creating a new audio track and not playing the video, so you won't see it advance.
Best bet is to open the video in WMP, and record your audio in SB while it plays, to get the timing right, then open the video in SB and past the recording into it.
I'm not sure, but I believe the reason you can't play the vid and record at the same time is in case someone is recording new audio for a clip that has audio in it already, the old audio would play at the same time the recording is taking place and would screw it all up, so it either records one or plays the other, but not both at once.

How can I get voice over clips to automatically go into its own folder in CS6

When I make a voice over clip while in PP CS6, the clip goes into the project folder. I want them to automatically go into the folder that corresponds to the clip I am doing the voice over for, but I can't seem to do this unless I manually move the clip over..

Thanks for your help here, but I made a mistake in presenting my problem.
I meant getting them to go into the selected bin, not folder, my mistake. Prior to recording the voice over, I highlight the bin I want the .wav file to go into and when finishing the recording, it goes into the project window, not into the selected bin. The only way I can get it into the bin is to manually move it there.
Do you know how to solve my problem by having the voice over go into the preselected bin?

You should get the mobile version of YouTube which sends Firefox a notice to open it in the YouTube App. That will have a much better playback experience than running Flash in the browser.

My sister has just bought FOUR new iPod shuffles 4th gen, im busy trying to set them up for the kids before xmas - it turns out that the voice over for tracks and artists does NOT work even though its installed and the ONLY fix i can find is to MANUALLY apply ENGLISH (UK) language settings to each track after theyve been put on... now SURELY this isnt right...?
can anyone help with thise?

Ok so the "is it plugged in" kind of troubleshooting question is...
When you plug in the iPod, go to the summary page of the iPod, there is a check box to enable Voiceover on that iPod. Is that checked?

Voice over for tom tom gps whilst using bluetooth hands free

Is it possible to still have the voice over for the tom tom navigation whilst being connected to a bluetooth hands free kit? I also have another charging cradle which it does exactly the same thing. it's as if it deletes it when an accessory is connected.
thanks

Yes that works, use the speakerphone mode. Some people report that the callers hear themselves via the car speakers and iPhone mic. It won't cost anything to try it and see if it meets your requirements.

How do I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked?

How can I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked? I accidentally activated it on my mum's ipad and now she's panicking! Haven't been able to put in her password so a little bit of help asap would be appreciated. Tried double tapping the passcode in but still didn't work! Thanks

How did you turn it on, via Settings or a triple-click of the home button ? You could try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling ; so to type a digit of the passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it and then double-tap it to type it) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

How to change other Voice Over settings?

I have a MacBook Pro retina (13 inch) and im getting REALLY irritated with my Voice Over settings. I want the thing to say the number name for nubers and not each individual digit. It says "one" and "zero" instead of "ten"!! How in the world do you even change these settings anyway? I couldn't really find anything much, maybe because im kind of new to mac...
Please help me out here guys!
Thanks,
Rohan

That's just the way that the computer is going to 'read' numbers - kind of like when you call one of those bank recordings: you read the individual digits of your account number, not "ten-twenty," but rather 1-0-2-0.
No way to change it... unless you just have the number "ten" spelled out as such.
