Production in detail

Voice, language and technology work together. Explore the requirements and services for your medium.
Voice character and online casting
Pitch, vocal age, pace and expression shape the effect. We select professional voices for your content. Online casting supports selection, comments and team approval.
From written text to spoken script
Clear, concise phrasing and agreed pronunciations support recording. Our script service prepares the production version; transcription can recover missing source text from existing audio or video.
Timing, animation and visual context
The text needs to fit the film without sounding rushed. We agree speaking windows, visual changes and emphasis. The voice-over track is processed to match the agreed visual timing.
Additional languages and subtitles
Translations account for spoken delivery, cultural tone and required duration. Subtitles can also be created or translated. Each language version is prepared against the visuals and approved script.
Editing, mixing and delivery
Sound engineers edit takes, levels and transitions. Existing music and original audio can be included in the agreed mix. We deliver the audio track or agreed combination of picture and sound.

Frequently asked questions
A quick question.

Do you need a finished film?
Precise timing requires the definitive picture version. We can begin preparation and casting from a storyboard and script; changes to the film may require further adjustment.
Are script preparation and translation included?
