voice narration
Audio story guidance
Voice narration is spoken commentary that accompanies visual media—film, documentary, video game, or slideshow.
Unlike dialogue between characters, voice narration addresses the audience directly, providing context, exposition, or inner thoughts: The voice narration guided viewers through the historical footage.
The term emphasizes the auditory delivery rather than written text.
