How many minutes of
voice-over do you need?

To determine the appropriate length of professional voice-over for your project, start by calculating the total word count of your script. On average, a professional voice-over artist delivers about 130 words per minute, ensuring clarity and engagement.

Therefore, dividing your script’s word count by 130 will give you an estimate of the required voice-over duration.

Keep in mind that not every moment of your video needs narration; incorporating opening and closing slides, as well as pauses between sections, can enhance viewer experience and prevent the voice-over from feeling continuous or overwhelming.

Below are some samples of professional voice-over artists to choose from.
