What it means for a Dubai business

Voiceover suits people who would rather not appear on camera and footage that speaks better than a face: a walkthrough of a finished room, a set up time lapse. Instagram lets you record one directly in the Reel editor.

Your own voice usually beats a synthetic one. If you use an AI voice, say so.

Example

A designer records two sentences over a walkthrough of a finished apartment: what the client asked for and the one change that made the biggest difference. It takes ten minutes and the Reel feels personal without a face.

Common mistake

Reading the caption aloud word for word. Use the voice to add what the picture cannot show.
