Do you like to add high-quality tourism commercial script voiceover to high-definition DSLR and drone footage of exotic travel locations?
This guide will outline what to say in the script, and also recommend professional-level text-to-speech software to convert your script to a speaking voice.
Always Focus On The Script First Before B Roll Edits
Creating the script first gives a clear direction when editing the video without wasting time gathering irrelevant footage that don't go with the voiceover.
Before putting anything down on the script:
- Visualize what do you want to achieve?
- What do you want the listener to do?
- Is the video motivating people to visit ?
- Is the video motivating people to book events?
- Is the video motivating people to check out more content?
Things To Include In the Tourism Voiceover Script
Travel commercial videos should be fun and inspiring. It should be descriptive and only focuses on impactful things. The common mistake people make is strictly talking about the physical location itself without any story, person or events associated with it.
Do not try to cover everything in the video. This is where your creative advertising comes into play.
Here are couple things to include in the script
- Turn boring facts into a story
- Add a catchy and memorable tagline that sums up the essence of the destination and helps to create a sense of brand identity. A good tagline can help to make the destination more memorable and differentiate it from other options
- Mention special deals and promotions in your video to incentivize viewers to book a trip and create a powerful selling point.
- Talk about an event being hosted, and go over what people can get out of it
- Go over the number recipes in this town with nonverbal B roll footage highlighting the location
- Highlight any war stories that inspire people to visit
- Go over the unique cultures in this area
- Highlight lifestyles of who visits
- Storytelling of a unforgettable events that happened in this location (The movie Hangover isn't about Las Vegas, but it sold the idea of how Las Vegas can be)
