Explain the process of creating a voiceover.?

Question:A voice-over is a person who speaks during a television commerical---but the person speaking does not appear on the screen.

When the television commerical has been completely finalized and has made the final cut, the videotape is sent to a TV studio or recording studio where the voice-over is usually ready to use that final cut on the video to add the "voice".

A commercial lasts about 30 seconds usually, and some commercials can be as long as 30 minutes (e.g., television infomercials).......so the technical crew gives directions to the voice-over to make a recording of the commercial at the exact times, to sync to the
several parts or sections (sometimes many sections) of the commercial.

This is for allowing for the many camera angles, supertitles, subtitles, and video editing and transitions that appear on a commercial.

SMPTE timing is often used to make sure that the voice-over in the commercial comes at the exact times.
