You can use Biteable's Record tools to record a video. If you need just the mp3 audio, we have an Audio Extraction tool that can help you turn an mp4 video file into an mp3 audio file.
Smartphone audio recording
Using an iPhone or other smartphone device is a common way to quickly capture voice-over recordings that can be added to your videos. Below are some helpful screenshots to locate how to record and share an audio file from an iPhone.
Both "voice-over" and "VoiceOver" are commonly used, and there's no single definitive answer.
Technically:
Voiceover: This is the technically correct term, written as one word without a hyphen. It's commonly used in style guides and official documents.
Voice-over: This is also widely accepted, especially in North America. It's more readable and helps break up the phrase, which can be beneficial for some audiences.
Context:
Formal writing: Stick with "voiceover" for a more formal and professional tone.This is a good choice for style guides, academic papers, and official documents.
Informal writing: "Voice-over" is perfectly acceptable for most informal writing,like blog posts, emails, and social media.
Audience: If your audience is primarily American, they might be more familiar with "voice-over." If targeting a global audience, "voiceover" might be more widely understood.
Other factors:
Readability: Consider how the written phrase flows. Sometimes, one format might be easier to read than the other.
Personal preference: Ultimately, you can choose the spelling you prefer, as long as it's consistent throughout your writing.
Additional note: Remember "VoiceOver" with a capital "V" is also a specific accessibility feature on Apple devices used for screen reading. So, in that context, always use "VoiceOver" to refer to that specific software.
