The "Voice of God" is a style of narration delivered by an off-screen, authoritative voice that isn’t tied to any character in the story. It delivers information or context directly to the audience and is often used in trailers, award shows, event intros, or documentaries.
It creates authority and presence. Whether in films, documentaries, or live events, the Voice of God guides viewers with clarity and gravitas.
Use this voiceover style to introduce segments, guide viewers, or add gravitas. Works best with a deep, clear voice and minimal visual presence.
Use sparingly – Reserve for moments needing gravitas or authority to avoid overuse.
Match tone to context – Employ a commanding but appropriate delivery (serious, epic, or formal).
Mix for dominance – Keep volume clear and forward in the mix so the “voice” feels omnipresent.
