If you’ve been looking for voice actors for your project, you may have noticed that the majority of production companies out there specialize in English-only voice over talents. If your business is expanding globally and you need foreign voice talents, these companies won’t have the knowledge and experience to support you in reaching your goals.

In order to produce a successful foreign language video, a sound production company needs a team of professionals who specialize in language localization. This team includes language directors, qualified voiceover talents, and sound engineers who are trained in working with multiple languages. These professionals have skillsets that help them understand the localization process and handle language and sound nuances. 

Here at Metro AV, we have these professional resources to help you not only reach, but captivate your target audience. We offer turnkey solutions in over 150 languages for all forms of media. We offer translation, localization, dubbing, narration, subtitling, captioning, and even graphic design services to enhance your voice over projects.

When you work with us, you’ll notice that a language director and linguist are always present at recording sessions with your voice talents. There are several reasons for this. In some cases, a translated script can be much longer than the English version. It’s the language director’s job to assist the voice talents with pronunciation or replacing a word with its synonym. A language director will also suggest various ways of reading sentences and advise on dialect, depending on where your company will be presenting its video or product. And, of course, our linguists provide quality assurance so there are no errors in your videos or recordings.

Our sound engineers also know the localization process and have a minimum of 3 to 5 years of training. During this lengthy period of learning, they develop a deep understanding of the structures of the world’s most widely spoken languages. At the same time, they also learn the nuances of each language, becoming familiar with the syllables used in foreign words. This is essential, as their jobs require them to match up voiceovers to onscreen lip movements.

Initial Consultation: Before beginning the casting process, it’s important to understand your specific needs and requirements.

Talent Search: Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation, we will search our large pool of professional voice actors to find the best match for your project. This process involves reviewing voice over demo samples, reading actor bios, and listening to voice reels.

Auditions: At this stage we have a voice over casting call. Then we provide you with a selection of voice talents that match your criteria. You’ll have the opportunity to listen to voice audio samples and read talent bios to determine which actors you’d like to audition.

Final Selection: After you’ve listened to the auditions, you’ll be able to make your final selection of the voice actor that best fits your project. Our voice over agency will then arrange for the recording of the final voice track, which will be edited and mixed by our sound engineers to meet your specifications.

Recording and Post-Production: The selected voice actor will record the voice over in a professional recording studio, using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. At this step we will also handle any necessary post-production services, such as audio editing, mixing, adding graphics, and mastering.

Final Delivery: Once the recording and post-production is complete, the final voiceover will be delivered to you in the format of your choice.
