Show & Tell: The Movie Voiceover Part 1

[@mysticfellow9843]

It's ironic how most of my favorite movies do this. Off the top of my head I can think of two masterpieces: Memento and Fight Club, both of which use this as a way to drive plot/character in a unique and unexpected way.

[@Mattspeak86]

Its a great tool! I think of how stories were first told… there was nothing but someone telling it, and the imagination.

[@SabrinaJohns]

Ok but can we talk about your voice over because it's so relaxing 😭

[@originalflimflam]

I know it's an obvious choice- but you have to talk about unreliable narrations- I love the way Fight Club utilities it to emphasis the plot twist.

[@L3i6HSin63R]

go directly to Part 2!

[@ririh1244]

I appreciate and love your videos so much! It made me love film even more.

[@L3i6HSin63R]

that's really good to hear, thanks!

[@Mattspeak86]

Thank you for this!! Haha!! I couldn’t find much online about voice over, and this is great! Thanks!!

[@inkno701]

One of my favorite movies that does this too much and not too well is Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) and a movie that did it amazingly is Sin City. Thanks for the great videos!

[@L3i6HSin63R]

thank you!

[@fernandomaron87]

I also love Sin City's narrations. Goodfellas' narration by Ray Liotta is also amazing

[@GottaAim]

Lmao that Wes Anderson comment 😂

[@melowkd1596]

i was so inspired by you're content that i am making voice over short story's

[@malakaibadillo4688]

can you tell how it went? Any tips? I'm currently making one and I'm in such a predicament right now, haha.

[@t.r.everstone7]

Technically all stories have someone telling us the story, but the trick is making people forget it's being told to them sometimes, while reminding them at others. Movies and tv are unique in that they don't absolutely require a narrator since they can literally make the audience see and hear whatever the story requires. So I'm trying to figure out how to know if movies and tv should have a narrator. I honestly can't think of a good way to judge. I know it just feels right or wrong, but there has to be a technical reason

[@maryam5759]

loooooove the video!! thank you this is helping me in my research topic!

[@rahuldey8222]

This is just wow.. amazing

[@Diego-lt4wm]

Voice overs are good if they actually have a purpose in the narrative and are intelligent

[@reneques8962]

so pleasing to me that i was the 1,000th person to like this vid. good day

[@diegom-a7970]

THIS IS KATANA

[@bowlyyougottobelieve]

@1:15 "why didn't i just do a ..." what? can't hear you

[@bowlyyougottobelieve]

"a Wes Anderson video"?

[@L3i6HSin63R]

that's the one!

[@yasisoufi]

You forgot the most important only based on voice over movie of all time, India Song Marguerite Duras. U must edit that in specially in part two.

[@santiagomunez1723]

@fandor, amazing sound. Can i record voice yours like that at home studio ?

[@zheenstran5080]

I might be falling in love with your accent

[@jtubef8620]

Typically, non-diegetic refers to something not existing in the cannon of the world the character/subject is set in. Something that's simply "offscreen" could very well be considered diegetic, such as a gunshot in a western flick. And easy way to think of it is this: Can the character in the scene hear the sound? If yes, it's diegetic. If no, it's non-diegetic.

[@wren4077]

Dude you sound like a Dark Souls character

[@kartikjain7105]

Love the newer videos but please put spoiler alert for some of the movies like in this case vblade runner

[@inkno701]

Seriously . . . it's over 30 years old, if you were gonna see it you would have already. I guess it's spoilers for you that in The Karate Kid Daniel wins, Sarah Conner escapes the Terminator, Indiana Jones does escape from the Temple of Doom, Darth Vader dies in Return of the Jedi, and Marty and Doc fix their timeline.

[@LIVEGAMERCOOL]

@@inkno701 woah man what the fuck

[@jimflagg4009]

Fair point. But, I still hate the narrations or actors speaking out to educate the audience as if they are too dim to understand what is going on.

[@avigaile2243]

1. Your voice is soooo soothing and super sexy, do you read audiobooks? 2. I guess it all comes down to how well the narration is written, in Shawshank it works because it's f*****g great

[@SomebodySaveRap]

The voice ruined it for me

[@pokguys16]

@@SomebodySaveRap I do hate whisper voiceovers. The little saliva smacking nuances. smack smack smack .

[@SomebodySaveRap]

@@pokguys16 it’s an acquired distaste that many don’t understand. But if you do, you know.

[@jimflagg4009]

Excuse me you forgot about the 4th wall breaks says the little girl.

[@paulines2604]

the child's voice scared me

[@leila4509]

Why are you whispering lol? Anyway.. good video

[@pokguys16]

ok how much coffee did you drink before you narrate?

[@MAFion]

Morgan Freeman's voice is a musical instrument. Harrison Ford, not so much.

[@CoolArrow78233]

Please stop whispering. It makes the ear itchy

[@blakehenry9030]

I may be alone on this but I don't care bladerunners better with the voice overs and if decker is a replicant he's the worst one ever literally every one kicks his ass in the movie also incredible shrinking man and hell could you consider hamlets to be or not to be speech internal monologue too he's not talking to anyone and I'm not counting the audience lol 🤣

[@laurencesherrington]

The whispering here is utterly ridiculious and borderline unwatchable.

[@Teerapatkongrat]

Dude I can't listen to this
