Voice-over Translation : An Overview

This book presents the first study of voice-over from a wide approach, including not only academic issues but also a description of the practice of voice-over around the globe.

The authors define the concept of voice-over in "Film Studies" and "Translation Studies" and clarify the relationship between voice-over and other audiovisual transfer modes.

They also describe the translation process in voice-over both for production and postproduction, for fiction and non-fiction.

The book also features course models on voice-over which can be used as a source of inspiration by trainers willing to include this transfer mode in their courses.

A global survey on voice-over in which both practitioners and academics express their opinions and a commented bibliography on voice-over complete this study.

Each chapter includes exercises which both lecturers and students can find useful.
