Professional Voice Over Services for Your Audio and Video Productions

Voice-over denotes the integration of vocal narration or commentary into media platforms including films, commercials, video games, and more. At its core, it’s the art of laying a vocal track on top of visuals, an audiobook, or even pure auditory content. Often perceived as a niche in the realm of acting and artistic creation, voice-over brings an indispensable touch of authenticity and emotion to a myriad of projects.

From budding authors in search of a distinct voice for their audiobooks to grand cinematic ventures involving a multitude of professionals, voice-over is frequently the finishing touch, the icing on the cake.

Its application spans an impressive range, whether it’s boosting the recognition of brands and services, amplifying advertisement campaigns, or enriching content conveyance. Voice-over finds its subtle charm even in areas like on-hold messages, IVR phone systems, and insightful videos tailored for training or promotional purposes.

With a professionally crafted voice-over, the content leaps to life, blending artistry with distinctiveness. The presence of a bespoke human voice not only resonates emotionally with listeners but also fortifies recall and engagement.

Voice-over dubbing is all about overlaying fresh voice content, switching it from the initial language to another. Now, many tend to jumble up dubbing with Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) – that’s the art of aligning voice-over to an actor’s lip movements, making it seem as if those were the original words spoken. However, dubbing’s real charm lies in transforming voice-over into a different language, paving the way for viewers from various linguistic backgrounds to engage with the content. For many video endeavours, dubbing stands as a prime choice over subtitles.

But hold on, not every voice-over dubbing is cut from the same cloth; we’re talking three key varieties: lip-synced, time-synced, and wild.

Lip-synced is the heavyweight champ of dubbing. Dubbing artists would typically flock to a top-tier studio to ensure the voice-over audio chimes in perfectly with the character’s lip movements.

Time-synced dubbing? A tad more lenient. While the dubbed audio should fit the set timeframe, it’s not beholden to every lip movement.

Lastly, we have the wild dubbing. It’s a freestyle approach, not the go-to for films or animated features, since the voice-over track might not always align with the original duration.

The nuances between these dubbing styles bring about varying recording approaches. Take, for instance, lip-sync and time-sync. They may demand on-the-spot script tweaks and nimble translations if things don’t align just right.

In an age where content zooms across the globe thanks to breakthroughs in streaming quality and net speeds, voice-over localisation ensures that your films and media hit home, resonating even with audiences who may not be literate.

But, localising a voice-over goes beyond just translating it to the desired language. It’s about syncing subtitles perfectly, transmuting scripts or visual elements, and nailing the vocal rendition. If you overlook pivotal languages or skimp on quality voice-over localisation, you risk falling flat and letting down your audience.

By partnering with GoLocalise, you’re securing top-tier voice-over localisation solutions. With a crew proficient in the art of voice-over and global languages, refine your auditory experience in any accent you desire.

Voice-overs have a knack for breathing life into brands, making them resonate and linger in people’s minds. They’re a cornerstone production method spanning a broad spectrum: think films, animations, video games, and even the informative internal company clips. Chances are, on an average day, you’re exposed to a plethora of professional voice-overs without even realising it.

Dipping your toes into voice-over may seem tempting as a DIY task. After all, don’t we all possess voices? However, a sub-par voice-over can, more often than not, diminish the overall quality of any media piece. The pitfalls? Inexperienced vocal performances, a setting that lacks soundproofing, and equipment that just doesn’t cut the mustard. Content creation is like a finely tuned orchestra, and one off-note can overshadow the entire symphony. Just picture a cinematic masterpiece with top-tier visuals but let down by less-than-stellar vocal performances. It’s not worth cutting corners when it comes to voice-overs.

Seasoned voice-over professionals often dedicate upwards of five years to perfect their craft, ensuring they’re well-versed with their tools and can consistently deliver top-notch results. This dedication contrasts starkly with some generic freelance platforms that, unfortunately, sometimes lean on inexperienced talents, providing more budget-friendly but inferior quality offerings. The age-old saying rings true: you get what you invest in.

With GoLocalise at the helm, you’re securing the crème de la crème of voice-over output. Coupled with our meticulous project management and stringent voice verification, rest assured, you’ll be receiving the industry’s finest, irrespective of the language or accent you seek.

For a concise voice-over tailored for internal use, you’re probably looking at starting prices typically around £400 GBP, €500 EURO or 550 USD.

Now, if you’re thinking about a substantial advertising blitz, the costs might rise considerably from there. It’s worth noting that voice-over prices can vary a lot, and several factors can influence it:

• The platform on which you’re airing it.
• The campaign’s longevity.
• The specific voice artist you’re keen to hire.
• The total time from hitting record to wrapping up the edit.

Moreover, depending on your location, you might find regional variations in pricing.

Generally, voice-over services are priced by studio hour, often referred to as the Basic Session Fee (BSF). Each voice professional has their own pricing structure, reflecting their experience, skill range, the type of project, and how sought-after they are – but there’s a typical price bracket most in the industry aim for.

Different projects have unique pricing metrics. To get a more detailed breakdown of how we at GoLocalise structure our costs, it’s worth taking a gander at our pricing page.

Voice-over is a dynamic medium we often hear alongside primary content, be it in films or video games. A common practice is to take away the original voice-over and translate it, ensuring the material speaks to international audiences.

Voice-over translation services, such as those offered by GoLocalise, involve meticulously transcribing the original script and then translating it in a manner that captures its essence, all the while keeping an eye on timing. Once the translated script gets the green light, it’s all systems go: we select the right voice talents and record in the target language using genuine native speakers. The final step? Slotting that fresh audio back into the original project and rendering it in the chosen file type.

For businesses and entertainment ventures, voice-over translation should be top of mind. After all, some nations might find it hard to connect with English-only content, or might feel a tad overlooked if content isn’t customised for them.

But let’s remember, voice-over translation isn’t a uniform task. Certain languages might throw a spanner in the works, and depending on the project – like those requiring precise lip-syncing – things can get intricate.

Engaging with the linguistic wizards at GoLocalise is your ticket to smooth sailing in this endeavour.
