voice of god
Omniscient narration technique
Voice of God refers to an authoritative, omniscient narration in film or documentary—a disembodied voice speaking with absolute certainty, as if from above: The voice of God narration told viewers exactly what to think.
In theater and events, it's an unseen announcer addressing the audience directly, typically for instructions or introductions.
The phrase captures how such voices carry unquestioned authority.
