VOICE

Definition
Recorded spoken voice added as media.

To remember
Voice as media adds a dimension to the training. Voice allows to keep the learner’s attention longer. However, the text of the voice must be different from the one on the screen while keeping the same meaning. It is possible to choose between actor voice and synthetic voice.

Extra
According to the context, it is possible to offer subtitling for learners who are hard of hearing or do not have access to sound.
The characteristics of both types of voice are as follows:
Actor voice: studio recording; modulation of the voice (actor); difficulties (cost) to modify or add a voice
Synthetic voice: recording through software from text file; limited modulation, easy to modify or add a voice
