Japanese voice over (voice recording, dubbing)

Japanese voice over

Have you ever come across awkward Korean voice recordings on the internet or YouTube? These are often the result of projects that worked with freelance voice actors locally. This approach is advantageous for reducing production costs, but it may fall short in meeting the standards of quality and the expectations of local audiences. For example, in the case of a U.S.-produced video, it is highly likely that a Korean freelance voice actor residing in the U.S. handled the recording. Of course, if the voice actor or voice-over is not a significant aspect of the video, it may not pose a major issue.

However, to produce a successful outcome for the local market, recording locally is the most reliable approach. Recording locally is not only the most reliable way to ensure linguistic accuracy but also to meet the cultural sensibilities and expectations of the local audience. First, the pool of foreign voice actors residing in Korea is very limited. Second, it’s not enough for the output to simply sound natural to Korean listeners; it must resonate with the local audience, allowing them to empathize and fully immerse themselves in the content. To achieve this, it is essential to carefully reflect the nuances, expressions, and intonations of the local language. This goes beyond mere language proficiency; it involves understanding and incorporating the sensibilities and expectations of the local audience.

At Muzium, we collaborate with local production companies (studios) and agencies to conduct Japanese voice over recordings. We can cast a wide range of talent, from rookie voice actors to top-tier professionals actively working on major media such as Netflix productions and subculture games. We also specialize in sourcing and producing voice talent for adult content.

Currently, in Japan, we are working on voice over projects with two major production companies and three mid-sized production companies. (Tokyo)
