Japanese voiceover. The challenges of Japanese voiceover

Japanese voiceover always involves clear communication between the customer, project coordinator and the Japanese voice talent due to the linguistic and cultural differences between Japanese and European languages.

Japanese voiceover. Frequently asked questions about Japanese voiceover

Japanese voiceover projects often arise a number of questions from the customers. Here are just a few examples:

·         How can I estimate the length of the final Japanese voiceover recording?

When we get a script for a Japanese voiceover project we can always calculate the length of the future recording judging by the number of Japanese words in the text. Roughly there are about 14000 Japanese words in 1 hour of edited and cleaned Japanese voiceover recording. If you compare it with English there are about 50% more Japanese words in 1 hour recording than English words in the same volume.

·         How can I sync a Japanese voiceover recording with an English video I have?

It can be quite problematic to edit a Japanese voiceover recording for someone who does not speak the language. That is why we always recommend the customers to order a synchronized Japanese voiceover recording from us so that the Japanese voiceover talent times the recording to the video him/herself to make sure that the  recording sounds perfectly with the video file.

·         How can I make sure that the my script for Japanese voiceover project is translated correctly?

This is a very frequently asked question as very often customers who order Japanese voiceover do not speak the language themselves. If you are not sure about the quality of the translation of your script you can easily order proofreading service by native speakers at our company. Certified specialists will go through your script for a Japanese voiceover recording and make sure that the message of the original text is conveyed properly and that the text is grammatically and stylistically correct.
