Portuguese term

locução off

Portuguese to English Art/Literary Media / Multimedia
Bom dia gente! Estou traduzindo um roteiro e apareceu um termo que eu não entendi: locução off. Locução = voice-over/ narration, mais o "off" é que não entendi, porque no roteiro, sempre tem texto para falar depois do "Locução off". ???

VoiceOver is pre-recorded,and can be turned on/off The voice-over may be spoken by someone who appears elsewhere in the production or by a specialist voice actor. It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information

voice in off

Note from asker:
Hey Salavador. Yeah, but the word "off" is confusing, because there is text after. "Locução off: xxxx" - it seems lije this is where the narrator would actually start to speak...???

off-camera narration

'off' is just an informal way of saying 'off-camera'

It's important with off-camera narration that you write for a listener, not a reader. Don't try to sound all sophisticated with big, complex sentences. Keep it short, sweet and to the point. Write your narration, then re-write it with the intention of using lots of verbs. And always speak in present tense...at least 95% of the time.

off-camera narration: Talent who provides program narration, but is not seen by the viewer.

VoiceOver é uma palavra só, que não pode ser desembrada, que significa locução.
