Algerian Arabic in a voice-over brief

Algerian Arabic, or Darja, is a Maghrebi dialect with a heavy layer of French and some Berber vocabulary. Dialects vary between Algiers, Oran, Constantine and the south. Daily speech is rarely written, so scripts are adapted from the standard form and from French. Algerian communities in France make up a large diaspora audience. A brief states the city or region, the register and which French terms remain.

How we work

Casting
We shortlist voices for your language, audience and tone, and explain the difference between them. You choose, and approve a written quote.
Direction
A director runs the session against your brief: meaning, pace and every agreed pronunciation. You can listen in remotely.
Delivery
Every file is checked against the script word by word and technically, then delivered in your format and naming.
