How much sync your content actually needs.

  • Full lip-sync

    Every line is written and performed to visible mouth movement.

    Close-up live action and most animation.

    Relative cost 4 of 4

  • Phrase sync

    Lines start and end with the original, without matching every mouth shape.

    A great deal of content, and the usual choice where the format allows it.

    Relative cost 3 of 4

  • Loose sync or overlay

    Timing follows the scene rather than the mouth.

    Narration, documentary and UN-style voice-over.

    Relative cost 2 of 4

  • AI lip sync

    On-screen mouth movement is retimed to the approved dub, then inspected shot by shot.

Two different jobs.

Not the same work, and not priced the same way.

  • Dubbing

    A new performance replacing the dialogue, matched to picture and, where needed, lips.

  • Voice-over

    Over audio or picture: narration, corporate, e-learning, UN-style. Clarity and pace, not sync.

How we cast.

Cast by native speakers, who can tell natural from merely confident.

    Same voice for the run

You review options first. Series leads lock before session one.

Sessions are directed.

  • Directed, not read

    A director shapes pace, emphasis, intent and pronunciation.

  • Native direction abroad

    Outside India, native directors at partner studios in-region.

  • Recorded where talent lives

    Better than approximating an accent remotely.

Timing and lip-sync.

Full lip-sync everywhere inflates cost. We recommend only the sync you need. Long lines are adapted at translation, not rushed in the booth.

Human Dub, AI Dub and AI Lip Sync, finished by people.

AI changes generation, not finishing. Neither route is a one-click export.

  • People adapt, review voices, check rights and consent, edit, mix, repair lip sync, run QC and approve.
  • Human Dub + AI Voice Match: restricted availability, by separate written agreement.
  • Public samples: Human Dub, AI Dub and AI Lip Sync only. Voice Match examples are not published, embedded or linked publicly.

Voice Match conditions

Human Dub + AI Voice Match, restricted availability. This capability is shown for information only and is commissioned by separate written agreement. A human artist performs the dub; the approved performance is then converted toward the original character's timbre within the agreed project scope. Before work begins, the client must give written confirmation that it controls or is authorized to use the original character voice, identity, likeness and any digital replica, with supporting documentation where requested. The performing artist must give informed, project-specific written consent and grant the required performance, voice-replica and output-use rights, including the agreed title, languages, uses, platforms, territories, term and reuse limits. Required disclosures and platform conditions must also be documented. We do not proceed until every required agreement is in place.

Frequently
Asked Questions.

What's the difference between dubbing and voice-over?
Dubbing replaces on-screen dialogue with a performance in another language, matched to picture and often to lip movement. Voice-over sits over the existing audio without replacing an on-screen performance, narration, commentary, e-learning. Dubbing is a performance job with sync constraints; voice-over prioritizes clarity and pace.
How do you cast voice actors?
Casting is done by people who speak the target language, assessing vocal age and texture against the on-screen performer, dialect and regional variant, register against the character's social position, and availability across a full series run. You review options before recording starts.
Do you do AI dubbing?
Yes. Our two public dubbing services are Human Dub and AI Dub. Human Dub is our flagship and premium default; AI Dub is the faster, more economical route for catalog volume and market tests. Both are human-finished: people handle casting or voice review, dialogue editing, mixing, mastering and final QC either way. AI Lip Sync is a separately quoted add-on to either route. A restricted third option, Human Dub + AI Voice Match, exists only by separate written agreement with full rights and consent documentation in place. It is not a standard form option.
How many languages can you dub into?
We work across 35+ languages and hold sourcing relationships across 35+, including regional and low-resource languages such as Haryanvi, Rajasthani, Chuukese, Navajo and Western Apache. If your language is not listed, ask. Building a workflow for an unusual language is routine for us.
Do you handle lip-sync?
Yes. Standard dialogue sync fits the script and performance to the existing picture, full, phrase or loose sync according to the format. AI Lip Sync is a separate, quoted add-on to Human Dub or AI Dub that retimes on-screen mouth movement to the approved dialogue. Our video editors inspect every shot and manually repair any frames that miss before final QC.
Can you keep the same voices across a long series?
Yes, and we cast for it deliberately. Continuity across a run is a casting decision made at episode one, including confirming performer availability for the full series before the first session.
