kertojaäänen

Kertojaäänen, often translated as narrator's voice or voice-over, refers to a narrative technique in film, television, radio, and other media where a disembodied voice guides the audience through the story. This voice is typically not part of the on-screen action, meaning the character speaking is not visually present or is speaking from a perspective outside of the immediate scene. The kertojaäänen can serve various purposes, from providing exposition and background information to offering internal monologues, commentary, or even emotional insights into a character's thoughts and feelings.

The use of kertojaäänen can significantly shape the audience's perception of the narrative. It can establish a particular tone, create a sense of intimacy between the narrator and the viewer, or maintain an objective distance. Depending on the context, the narrator can be an omniscient entity aware of all events and thoughts, or a character within the story whose perspective is subjective and potentially unreliable. This unreliability can add layers of complexity and intrigue, inviting the audience to question what they are being told. The effectiveness of kertojaäänen relies on the skill of the voice actor and the writers in crafting a voice and script that complements the visual and auditory elements of the production.
