1. Voice-over
For voice-overs ("dubbing") of films, television commercials, IVRS prompts, or corporate training videos, PLG hires native speakers who are professionally trained and experienced at recording voice-overs. We can provide voice-over talent in a variety of languages including Spanish, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, among others. This eliminates the concern over whose voice to use and, if that employee leaves the company, finding a replacement. Our state-of-the-art studio meets all your recording needs. Foreign language audio and video tapes can also be transcribed and translated onto hard copy or electronic files.
