Localization of voice recordings

In today's technology driven world more and more products contain spoken word as part of their feature set. From interactive telephone messaging systems to high-end computer  CD-ROM products and games - good audio makes a big difference.

When adapting such a product for a foreign market it's essential you set about doing things the right way from the outset to avoid what can become a nightmare project.

As with so many other aspects of localization, recording audio is like a project within a project and needs to be treated as such.

You need the right voices with right accents and of course the right performance criteria to ensure the product is truly fit for the foreign market and doesn't come off as a cheap translation of it's original.
