Voiceover
Voice-over is used as a form of language transfer or translation. Viewers of news programs are familiar with the voice-over translation of statements or responses of interviewees who do not speak in the language of the viewing audience. Inherited from radio, this form of language transfer allows the first and last few words in the original language to be heard, and then fades them down for re-voicing a full translation. The voice-over should be synchronous with the speaker's talk, except when a still picture is used to replace footage or live broadcast.
