Voice-over (also known as off-camera or off-stage commentary) is a production technique used in radio, television, filmmaking, theatre, and other media in which a descriptive or expository voice that is not part of the narrative (i.e., non-diegetic) accompanies the pictured or on-site presentation of events.

Most studies of prosody have been based on auditory analysis using auditory scales. Auditorily, the major prosodic variables are: pitch of the voice (varying between low and high) length of sounds (varying between short and long) loudness, or prominence (varying between soft and loud) timbre or phonatory quality (quality of sound)
Two significant categories to what we hear and pay attention to are natural and technological sounds. According to R. Murray Schafer (through a survey of quotes in the literature), the proportion of nature sounds heard and noticed among European authors has decreased over the past two centuries from 43% to 20%, but not for North America, where it has stayed around 50%.
This lets the audio data be stored and transmitted by a wider variety of media. Digital recording stores audio as a series of binary numbers (zeros and ones) representing samples of the amplitude of the audio signal at equal time intervals, at a sample rate high enough to convey all sounds capable of being heard.
For example, in a study on English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, the difficulties faced by EFL learners are lack of motivation, lack of exposure to the target language, and lack of pronunciation by the teacher, and such challenges can be overcome by Audio as the purpose of communication and Visual as more exposure.

This inexpensive way of voice-over is preferred only because of its low cost.
For example, the English word ding may sound similar to the actual sound of a bell.

Such correspondence between linguistic sound and meaning may ...
