Questions about Arabic voice-over
What’s the difference between voice-over and dubbing?
Dubbing replaces the original dialogue and matches the actors’ lip movements. Voice-over adds a voice without lip-sync, as narration or over the original sound, which suits documentaries, ads, corporate films and e-learning.
Can we choose the voice?
Yes. We send you samples from our network of 500+ voice artists, and you choose the voice before we record.
Can you translate our script as well?
Yes. We translate and adapt it so it sounds natural read aloud and fits the timing of your video.
Which Arabic should the voice-over be in?
Modern Standard Arabic is the usual choice for documentaries and e-learning, because one recording works across the Arab world. Ads and social videos aimed at one country can use its dialect. We’ll recommend one for your audience.
How do we get a quote?
Send us the script or its length, the language or dialect, where the recording will be used and your deadline. We reply within 24 hours with a recommendation and a quote.
