Chuukese dubbing and localization.

TrendsUp Media delivers dubbing, voice-over, translation and subtitling in Chuukese with native speakers. It is a language we have completed projects in, which puts us in a very small group.

Start a Project

Chuukese we have delivered.

Every clip says how it was produced.

Chuukese.

A Micronesian language spoken across Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia, and by diaspora communities elsewhere in the Pacific and the United States. It is a language of daily life and community, not of commercial media, which is why localized content in it is scarce and the need is real.

There is no roster to draw from.

Chuukese has no professional voice-acting industry. The work begins before production does.

Nothing to call
No agency, no established rate card, no pool of speakers with studio credits.
Reach the community
We find speakers whose Chuukese is strong enough to carry recorded content.
Performers, not readers
Among them, we find someone who can perform rather than merely read.
Independent review
A separate reviewer assesses the result. Often the hardest part, often skipped. We do not skip it.

What to expect.

Feasibility first
Talent is confirmed before a schedule is agreed.
A realistic window
Sourcing takes longer than for a commercial language. We give a realistic window, not an optimistic one.
Then our standard timeline
Once cast, production runs to our standard timeline.
Native direction, live
Recorded in-region where possible, remote-directed where not, with a native speaker directing the session live.

Frequently
Asked Questions.

Get in Touch

Do you actually deliver in Chuukese?

Yes. Chuukese is a language we have completed and shipped projects in, not one we list as a theoretical capability. Very few studios anywhere can say that.

How do you find Chuukese voice talent?

Through the language community rather than through agencies, because no professional voice-acting roster exists. We identify native speakers who can perform recorded content, and separately identify a reviewer independent of the performer.

How long does a Chuukese project take?

Sourcing is the long part and varies with the specific requirement. Once cast, production runs to our standard three days per finished hour. We confirm talent availability before agreeing any delivery date.

Can you subtitle as well as dub?

Yes: subtitles, closed captions and transcription, written from the dubbed dialogue where both are produced so the two agree.
