Portuguese term or phrase: locução off
Bom dia gente! Estou traduzindo um roteiro e apareceu um termo que eu não entendi: locução off. Locução = voice-over/ narration, mais o "off" é que não entendi, porque no roteiro, sempre tem texto para falar depois do "Locução off". ???

Asker: Hey Salavador. Yeah, but the word "off" is confusing, because there is text after. "Locução off: xxxx" - it seems lije this is where the narrator would actually start to speak...???

off-camera narration


Explanation:
'off' is just an informal way of saying 'off-camera'

It's important with off-camera narration that you write for a listener, not a reader. Don't try to sound all sophisticated with big, complex sentences. Keep it short, sweet and to the point. Write your narration, then re-write it with the intention of using lots of verbs. And always speak in present tense...at least 95% of the time.

VoiceOver é uma palavra só, que não pode ser desembrada, que significa locução.
