AI Voiceover Directing & Commercial Sound Design
Write for the human ear, direct nuanced vocal inflection in ElevenLabs, and mix room tone, tactile foley, and music to broadcast loudness standards.
Listeners reject synthetic voiceovers within a few words when copy reads like a dense brochure, sentences run together without breathing room, and the dry vocal sits floating over a loud music loop. Believable commercial audio is half script direction and half acoustic post-production. In this course, we rewrite copy for spoken cadence, use speech-to-speech guide tracks to shape emphasis in ElevenLabs, layer subtle room tone and physical foley, carve EQ space in the music bed, and master clean mixes.

Course Syllabus
Core Concepts & Topics Covered
Below are the main concepts and topics covered in this course. In your Free Online Intro Session, we align the exact depth and number of sessions to your experience and goals.
Topic 01
Spoken Copy Rewriting & Voice Casting Strategy
Adapting written marketing copy for the ear and selecting voice profiles whose timbre and register fit your client's positioning.
- Trimming clause density and marking breath pauses before touching the voice generator
- Tuning Stability, Similarity, and Style parameters to avoid both monotone drift and melodrama
- Handling bilingual brand names, phone numbers, currencies, and Persian vowel nuances
Topic 02
Speech-to-Speech Directing & Multi-Take Assembly
Directing the AI voice like a booth actor through guide performances and comping the strongest phrase takes onto your edit timeline.
- Recording simple smartphone guide tracks to lock down cadence, downward inflections, and pauses
- Comping multiple phrase generations together with natural inter-sentence breathing time
- Auditing and replacing robotic tail-offs at the end of questions and calls to action
Topic 03
Room Tone, Foley Design & Musical Timing
Building a three-dimensional soundscape around the voiceover so visuals and spoken copy feel anchored in a real physical space.
- Laying continuous low-level room air under edits to eliminate sterile digital silence
- Layering restrained tactile foley (fabric, glass, footsteps, paper) instead of loud cartoon whooshes
- Editing music stems so rhythmic changes and final cadences resolve cleanly on the closing frame
Topic 04
Vocal Booth EQ, Music Ducking & Broadcast Delivery
Polishing the mix inside Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve Fairlight, or Audition so speech stays clear on phone speakers and studio monitors alike.
- Applying high-pass filtering, sibilance de-essing (4–8 kHz), and gentle vocal compression
- Carving a subtle midrange EQ pocket and keyframed gain ducking on the music bed
- Metering integrated loudness (-14 LUFS) and true peak (-1 dBTP) for social and web delivery

Program FAQ
Common Questions
How well does AI voiceover handle Persian vs English scripts, and which editing software do we mix in?
English voice direction is remarkably mature, while natural Persian results require careful conversational phrasing, vowel clarity on homographs, and speech-to-speech pacing instead of raw text input. We practice mixing directly inside the editor you already use (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut Desktop, or Audition), tailoring session depth during your Free Online Intro Session.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?
There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
