Burmese in a voice-over brief

Burmese is written in a round script of its own and is tonal. Spoken and literary forms differ a good deal, with formal writing using vocabulary rarely heard in conversation. The language is spoken across Myanmar, with regional accents and with other languages beside it in the border areas. Telecoms, health agencies and aid programmes are typical clients. A brief states the register and the audience, and a native reviewer checks the script before it is recorded.

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.

What decides the price

No price list: every quote is written for your project and states usage and the delivery date.

Length: Word count or running time of the finished audio.
Use and territory: Internal, online or broadcast; where it runs and for how long.
Voice: Some languages and voice profiles are scarcer than others.
Picture and files: Recording to timecode, splitting and naming add work.
