New word: voiceover

New word: voiceover

Found at Naomi’s A Little Red Hen She mentioned a show where she had been with her husband because they wanted to see a man who is her husband’s racquetball’s partner, and is a voiceover actor.
I wondered for a minute, if that meant that he dubbed people on movies.

I googled it and found that it was

Audio from an unseen narrator accompanying video, heard above background sound or music.

Of course, just looking at the composition of the word, I had a pretty good idea of what it was. But you see, the funny part is, I think in French, what we would say is, “un commentateur en voix off”.

Also, I wondered what you would call an actor who dubs other people’s voices in foreign movie. My dictionary says a dubber.
