The voice-over is often not on the main stage, but disembodied, that is, never seen and ‘behind the scenes’ and from a loudspeaker in the ceiling, hence the name ‘Voice of God’. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Announcements may be along the lines of: “<em>Welcome to this year’s International Award Ceremony. Please take your seats for the event starting in five minutes”,</em> then <em>“here are the nominees for Voice Of The Year…” </em>and<em> “And here is tonight’s entertainment, star of everybody’s favourite comedy show Dewayne Devatto”. </em>You<em> </em>may also give out information such as safety announcements, when the next workshop or conference session is starting, where the fire escapes are… you get the idea.</p>","author_name":"Peter Stewart"}
