Foreign Voices
The only way to open new markets and reach as many people as possible is to translate and localise your business in as many languages as possible. This is where Foreign Voices can help.
Amazingly, there are only 23 languages (“only”) spoken by over half the world’s population and we have experts in all of them, across all the linguistic services. We also have those specialising in over 70 others so we are more than equipped to help, just let us know what you need.
For it to actually work, translation needs to be done wholly and properly. It’s not just about translating the words; it’s about keeping the meaning, protecting the tone and, arguably most importantly, making sure the audio fits the video timeline with absolute precision. For this reason, we make it a priority to enlist native, experienced linguists to collaborate with our skilled dubbing mixers. We specialise in language pairs, and no script is too long or too short.
For speech to sound as fluent and natural as possible, it’s important for our language professionals to be able to work in their native languages.This, combined with their advanced translation skills, means that any significant word count increase as a result of translation into English can be neatly reduced to fit the same specifications, ensuring the nuanced meaning isn’t sacrificed.
We can transcribe unscripted recordings in any language, they just need to be audible. We can provide accurately timecoded transcripts that clearly identify and separate each individual speaker, making it easy to isolate and revisit specific parts of the recording, allowing decisions or edits to be made or audio-visual content to be prepared for translation. To guarantee accuracy and authenticity, we only work with experienced and native language transcribers.
Graphics Translation & Editing
Our services include accurately burning in subtitles and captions, producing professionally mastered, publish-ready content. Additionally, we offer layback to add voiceover recorded at a later stage directly on to the original video.
Often multiple languages are required for one project, if this is the case we can provide and implement translations of any on-screen graphics, text and subtitles. This guarantees truly localised content for any given market.
If you want to reach audiences everywhere and talk to untapped markets around the world, your content needs to be accessible. Whether your audience are deaf, hard-of-hearing, non-native or simply listening without sound we can help greatly expand your reach with our subtitling & closed caption services.
We want your content to be enjoyed by everyone, which is why we provide end-to-end Audio Description services to ensure your work can be enjoyed by blind and visually impaired audiences.
When we say end-to-end, we mean it. We can handle origination, quality control and full editing of AD scripts, all before recording and editing the voiceover itself to deliver a polished and professional AD track that describes all key visual elements, from actions and gestures to on screen text and scene changes, all while being expertly inserted into natural pauses so that the viewing experience isn’t disrupted.
Our team has experience across every type of voiceover project. If you can imagine it, we can do it, from audio-only recordings in a single language to full lip-sync dubbing across up to 43 languages.
First and foremost, we are highly skilled at identifying the right voiceover artist for each project, helping you find the perfect voice to bring your content to life.
We do dubbing and we do it accurately and faithfully for all kinds of brands and broadcasters including some of the biggest in the world. Our team of dubbing mixers are used to managing large-scale projects, handling huge workflows, and re-versioning thousands of projects for markets across the globe.
Our dubbing experience includes corporate training videos, broadcast TV, commercials and animation series, web promos and multi-language museum exhibits.
