Movie trailer voice-over effect

Is it possible that Garageband can be configured to create the movie trailer-like voiceover effect?
I always wanted to know how to do it as it would have a big impact when moviemaking. What other good voiceover settings can be created that are just like those in Hollywood movies?

If I were you, I'd start by recording something (with your face close to the microphone for "proximity effect" - which deepens your voice) along the lines of...
"In a place FAR away, and a time before LIGHT, when CHAOS ruled the Earth, ONE MAN emerged to change things... FOREVER!!! And that man was <insert name of man here>."
Then, I'd add some effects... compression, reverb, pitch change (maybe), etc.
Then, after you get that to sound about right, all that's left is to make the movie.

Filter for movie trailer voice over?

Does anyone know of a filter I can use in CS6 or purchase that will enable me to alter my voice to sound more like one of those scholarly sounding voice overs used for movie trailers?
Thanks.

Maybe you don't need a " filter" for after the fact.. you may be able to make your voice sound like that as you record it....
For example, if you wanna sound like a smart person from New England states.. you can put a clothes pin on your nose as you speak.
Use words like, " one has to know one's history to know one's potential, doesn't one ? "
Alternately, if you wanna sound like someone from the SouthWest.. like Texas for example, you can talk through a sock....just roll up a common cotton sock and speak through it into mic....and use words like, " Heck, it aint rocket science to know about the history of this place ! "
add some background stuff like cattle braying and you're in like Flint !

Standard Voice Over Effects

Hello,
Still a bit new to Sound Track Pro 2 and there seems to be a massive array of effects available and I was wondering if some more experienced users could help me.
I am recording a voice over for a rolling news type segment with one mail narrator. Are there a few effects out there anyone can recommend that they would normally use for this style of audio, that kind of BBC news reader effect.
I am aware that my query is quite general but any advice would be appreciated.

no I don't think so, the guy is news and media commentator Ray Snoddy - I've seen him on many occasions and that's just his normal voice.
On a live news programme like that he wil be mic'ed up by the studio sound op with a lavalier mic and the settings through the mixer will be set to get as true as possible. Levels will be taken prior to broadcast for each speaker but that will be likely only to be for volume.
On a live programme like that, with many contributors, there's no time for fine tuning anything else. Even with the pre-recorded inserts, the only tweaking will be for levels - it will be assumed that the item has been recorded correctly and only if there was some problem with the recording will any attempt be made to correct it.
Live news just doesn't have the time.
Obviously the studio will be acoustically appropriate to start with.

I movie cannot voice over

Since i do the projects, i can voice over and export to mp4 files many many files.
Last few days I found that I couldn't voice over anymore, i clicked on the button (microphone), nothing happened. Then I tried to save the movie, it couldn't too.
Now i need some help to export all of my files from Theater. Or any suggestion to get my files back.
Thanks in advance.

Drag the iMovie application from the Applications folder to the trash. Empty the trash.
Reboot.
Go to the Mac App Store and in the "purchases" section, re-download and install iMovie.

Split movie into two movies, including voice-over and Titles?

I recently made a movie PROJECT out of video and stills and now want to burn it to DVD but it is too long. I want to make two 45 minute movies out of it but can't figure out how to split the second half of the movie off from the first half AND be able to take along my voiceovers and Title pages. I can get the movie to go, but when I try to highlight, copy and paste the voiceovers and titles into the new project it will not work. Any way to do this??

Go to the Project Library view so you see your project as a filmstrip with all the other projects.
Select your Project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like My Project Part 1.
Do it again. Give it a name like y Project Part 2.
For Project Part 1, delete the second half and anything you don;t need.
For Project Part 2, delete the first half, but keep any titles you need.

I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

FCPX has no audio tracks so how to add effects on voice over?

I imported my voice over track. Then, I proceeded to chop it up and move it to the appropiate points in the time line. However, now there are no "tracks" how can I EQ the whole thing in one go? All the individual choped up clips moved up and down willy-nilly into different empty areas of the time line.
Cheers

I do VO work all the time, daily. Record it, make that a Connected Timeline (if it is not in the Primary Timeline already), then chop it up as you normally do, and then align it with the audio first. Then make it all a Compound Clip. Apply the EQ or whatever sweetening you need to the Compound Clip.
Here are articles about doing VO with FCPX:

Just want to get started. I am unable to move beyond the voice over welcome screen. Any advice would be welcome.

How Do I Watch/Preview Movie and Record Audio (voice over) Simultaneously

First.. thank for taking the time to read this post -- much appreciated.
I located another post that someone reported which is almost identical to issue I am experiencing with Garageband. Here is the link
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4741084&#4741084
I have attempted to follow through the solution that was provided, however I was unable to successfully resolve the issue.
Essentially, what I would like to do is this. After importing my iMovie project to Garageband, with a use of a Mic, I wish to record a commentary audio track or voice over while I watch my video/movie in the Movie Preview pane from the Track Info window at the same time. I can not rely on the Movie track line as my preview or movie window to watch the movie.
However, for some reason, I can not figure out how I can get the movie preview pane to show/display while I am recording. To help illustrate my problem, I have I posted a video of the issue. Please feel free to view the video and help me understand if this is by-design behavior in GB or a bug or simple 'user error'

Appreciate your immediate help
Thank you!

Hey Hangtime, give you permission to kick me in the head! I feel stupid now knowing that it is a silly user error. Here I was trying to figure out if its in the 'Details' frame.
In otherwords, 'Detail's is set to '>' and not pointing downwards.
Funny thing is, you would think there would be a scroll bar to move up and down to reveal the Movie Preview frame if the 'Details' pane is expanded in the Track Info window.
In any case... Thanks HT!

Voice Over : Mouse pointer moves VO cursor Question

Hi!!
I have low vision, and i want to use the voice over with my mouse and/or trackpad. Im able to see where the text is but i cant read it well. When I enable the Voice Over I select "Mouse pointer moves Voice Over cursor in the preferences. This works fine for me, vut i noticed that when i drag the pointer over the finders sidebar it select the folders without me clicking on them. Something similar happens in Safari when scrolling the web page. There is any way to avoid this?? The Voice Over with the keyboard is very nice but sometimes I rather use the mouse.
Thanks in advance!!

My iPod Shuffle 4g has no battery status voice over, either. What could effect the d.click?

I have turned off the iPod Shuffle and turned on after 10sec. I have opened the iPod summary page in iTunes and check and unchecked "voice over" and applied. I have "restored" the ipod. I am using Mac Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10 10.5.2. I have read Phillip's answer to Zazuum. WHAT am I looking for that would effect the double click? I am encouraged that someone else has the problem and may have fixed it. Now I at least know it's me and not the iPod. Sorry, Phillip, I need a little clearer direction. Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to make a movie from a PowerPoint with a voice over

Hi - as the title suggest, I'd like to record a movie of a PowerPoint presentation with me providing the voice over. I'd then post this onto our company intranet for others to review the presentation.
Any ideas how I'd do this?
Thanks

An easy way would be to export each powerpoint slide as a JPEG file. Import these into an iPhoto album. Drag the iPhoto album into your movie through the Photo Browser and add your voiceover.
It might also be possible to export your powerpoint presentation as a QuickTime movie, but it would be important to do it as a timed presentation rather than a manually advanced presentation, because iMovie will not import manual advance tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks, etc.
I have imported presentations from KeyNote but have never tried a PPT.

Voice over dvd movie

I played a movie on my laptop yesterday and it worked fine. Today i put in a brand new movie, and when the movie is playing, there's a female voice telling everything thats happenin in the movie. I went to my Narrator app and turned it on and back off, but there's still a voice over my dvd. I searched online and there was no question that was like my question. PLEASE help, its driving me insane.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I went to play the movie on my laptop, and i went in the setup on the title screen of the movie, and i went to subtitles, and i clicked on English of the hearing impaired, and thn I went back out, then i went back in a nd turned that off. Well when i went to play the movie, my laptop froze, and i had to restart it. When the movie came back up, i played it from the beginning, and the voice over was gone! I was so relieved!!! I guess i ony needed to restart my laptop. Thank you so much for your help through this.

I am adding a voice over - it plays when I am in "clip trimmer" mode but NOT in the actual movie ... frustrating - any help?

In Finder you will find the voiceover in the project's package contents folder. If on your internal drive, the project will be in your User (Home) folder Movies/iMovie projects. If on an external drive it will be in the iMovie Projects folder at the top (root) level of the drive.
Right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. There should be a file named something like Voiceover Recording.caf in the package contents folder. Copy and paste this .caf file to the Desktop. See if it will open in QuickTime, GarageBand or another program capable of editing audio, such as MPEG Streamclip or Audacity (both free). If it will open, save (export) it in a different format, such as AIFF, preferably to a location where it will not be moved, such as iTunes.
Now drag that file into iMovie to the desired position (if in iTunes drag from iMovie's music browser panel). Hopefully it will now play correctly.
