7 hours of poker cash games dubbed into French and German from the original English. We threw away the idea of a translation and decided to mix a poker professional together with an established sports specialist voiceover professional and then record them “as live” using just the English transcript as a guide. It works a treat. In this hand the commentators manage to sound genuinely surprised when one player moves his entire chip stack “all in” on nothing but a draw. This was a two week project completed on a competitive budget. All talent and poker specialists sourced and signed by Foreign Voices.
Foreign Voices lip synchs it’s first feature film in house. Lots of script adapting and added bad language as our cast of 11 English actors took the Ocean’s 11 story, moved it to East Germany and had a blast. If only all our work was this much fun. Here’s a scene where the girls have a cat fight. Enjoy!
A break from corporates and e-learning this week as CELL series 1 landed in all its CGI glory. Set aboard an old oil tanker it’s the story of how hero Alex has only his wits to help escape the CELL. Produced by Endemol, Foreign Voices has provided German and French lip synch voice-over for the first 20 episodes.
CELL will be out there on the internet and on mobile platforms very soon. The German clip features Patricia Kuckelman and Sam Jackson as the voices for Alex and Lucy. Budget £90 per minute. Engineered in-house by David Crackles.
