Voiceover versus on-camera: two prompt modes

Lesson 4 of 8 · Write AI Video Scripts That Keep Attention

In this lesson. Match the prompt to delivery.

What you will learn

  • VO density
  • On-camera shortness
  • Two templates

Walkthrough

VO can be denser; on-camera needs shorter lines and room to gesture. You will keep two prompt templates. Mixing them makes robotic talking-head scripts.

Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Write AI Video Scripts That Keep Attention is usable skill, not a pile of notes.

If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.

Practice

Write the same 30 seconds for VO and for on-camera. Read both aloud.

Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
