Have you ever wondered how videos can speak multiple languages without changing the original audio? It’s thanks to the artistry prowess of voiceover translation services. In this blog, we will explore the world of voice-over translation, its importance, and why Alsun is the best choice for getting the most accurate and professional voice-over translation services.
What is voice-over translation?
voice-over translation is a way to explain what’s happening in a video using a single narrator’s voice instead of having a whole team of actors replace the original voices.
This is different from dubbing, where actors try to match their words with the characters’ lip movements.
Big movies usually use dubbing, but voice-over translations work better for smaller videos.
They let the original audio stay in the background while the narrator explains what’s happening, even if the words don’t match the actors’ mouths.
Turning all the talking in a video into just one audio track is a tough job, and excellent linguists and voice-over artists usually do it.
At Alsun, we have a lot of experience doing this, so we’re a great choice if you need voice-over translation for your videos in any language.
The importance of voice over translation services
voice-over translation services are an excellent choice for videos that share information.
It works well for corporate training and customer e-learning videos.
Even narrative videos like news reports and documentaries can be used effectively.
This method is ideal when you don’t need to match the speaker’s emotions or lip movements, like in educational videos with just one instructor or news interviews where what’s said matters more than how it’s said.
So, voice-over translation is enough to communicate your message in these situations.
How does Alsun provide professional voice-over translation services?
Alsun offers professional voice-over translation services by leveraging a team of highly skilled linguists and voice artists specializing in dubbing and voice-over and carefully translating the source content into the target language, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevance.
1- Script Preparation
If we have the narration script, we’ll use it for translation. But if not, we start by writing down what’s being said in the video.
These scripts are usually organized into two columns. One side has the English text, and the other has the translation in the target language.
This format makes it easy for the translator to compare and get the translation right.
2- Client Review
Before recording the voice-over, we let the client check the translated script to ensure the translation is right from the start.
Once the client gives the green light to the script, we do one more careful proofreading round to ensure everything is perfect.
We also talk to the client about tricky words or phrases and ensure we understand their preferred style and tone before we start recording.
This way, we ensure the voice-over matches precisely the client’s wants.
3- Script Translation
When translating scripts for voice-over, a big challenge is ensuring the translated text matches the length of the original language. This way, the recorded voice fits the video perfectly.
To do this, our translator tweaks the text so that the voice-over actor can speak it naturally and fit within the video’s time limits.
Our translators always keep an eye on the source video as they work. When translating for a recording, we watch and listen to the video to catch details that reading the script alone might miss.
For example, we check if the word “you” in English should mean one person or more in a particular situation.
Also, using the video as a reference helps us understand the overall mood that needs to come through in the translation.
