Chinese languages

Please choose which Chinese language/dialect you wish your voiceover to be recorded in. Most popular is Mandarin as this is the official language of China (probably about a billion speakers worldwide). Cantonese is popular in South Eastern China and Hong Kong (over 70 million speakers). In Taiwan most people speak Mandarin, but with slight differences in vocabulary, so is often referred to as Taiwanese Mandarin. Slightly less spoken is 'Taiwanese Hokkien' language (around 16 million speakers). So if you've been asked for a recording in 'Taiwanese' it's best to check, although we would suspect the client would want Taiwanese Mandarin.

How to obtain your voiceover recording

Submit your brief We suggest voices & costs Confirm our booking form We make the recording Delivery

Step 1: We're here to help! Whether you have specific voices in mind, or would like us to suggest options, a good starting point is to submit an enquiry using our online form. One of our team, likely Matt, Jack or Gary will pick up your enquiry and get back to you.
Our form can be found at www.voiceovers.co.uk/submit-a-brief.

Step 2: We'll provide some suggested voices with associated costs, based on your brief you submitted in Step 1.

Step 3: Once you've decided on a voice we'll send over a booking form/quote to confirm. Licensing is an important part of the voiceover world because you are effectively using a performance - and our booking form/quote will ensure you're covered and have obtained the correct licenses, if needed.

Step 4: We can make the recording on your behalf. We'll check the script for any unusual pronunciations/acronyms and get an idea of the style you want the read, so the recording session goes smoothly. Alternatively if you want to be more 'hands on' we can often set up a directed session where we patch you into the recording session (typically using phone/Skype/Facetime audio). You can then listen in, comment and guide the recording as it is made.

Step 5: Prior to delivery one of our producers will check through the recording, tidying it up and removing any errors. We can also perform any additional editing you've requested, such as splitting into separate files, or encoding into a specific audio form (for example uLaw, aLaw, 8bit wav). We will then share a download link allowing you to access the recording. In the unlikely event you spot any errors we will rectify these for no additional cost.
