In today’s global economy, many businesses need to translate their videos, audio files and telephone messages into foreign languages to ensure full accessibility. In today’s article we’ll be looking at voiceover services and translation for business. Subtitles and closed captions can be great, both for Deaf and hard of hearing audiences and for viewers accessing video content remotely. Voiceovers can be great for translation and when used in the form of audio description, can be invaluable for viewers with visual impairment. However, when it comes to making an immediate big impact on an audience, voiceovers can be the way to go. 

Voiceovers can be great to add narration to videos. The impact of narration on a video can really put across a powerful message. Think of movie trailers at the cinema – what is the first thing that comes to mind? Logos, dramatic fade-ins, big explosions, references to what else has been out? All possible candidates… But what unites most trailers in similarity is that overbearingly powerful voiceover, setting the scene and introducing the movie. The voice that speaks directly to the audience is a powerful thing and for advertising, voiceovers are a must. 

In terms of video editing, the greatest thing about voiceovers is actually the ease with which they can be integrated into any video. Translating the speech of onscreen actors requires dubbing – days, sometimes weeks of trying to perfect the optimum lip sync to merge seamlessly with the source language. Voiceover services aren’t such trouble. A voiceover is substantially easier to edit than dubbing because the speaker only heard, not seen, so a seamless integration is much more easily achieved, and at lower cost with faster turnaround.
