  • Education providers
  • Banks and consumer brands

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a African French session.

  1. Many accents, one label

    African French varies from country to country. The brief should name the country.

  2. Local languages beside French

    Many audiences also speak a local language. Campaigns sometimes need both.

  3. Clear, public-information delivery

    Health and civic content needs plain wording and a steady pace.

What casting decides in African French

  • Country first

    We shortlist per country rather than for “Africa”.

  • French only or with local languages

    Wolof, Hausa and other languages have their own pages where available.

How we work

  1. Casting

    We shortlist voices for your language, audience and tone, and explain the difference between them. You choose, and approve a written quote.

  2. Direction

    A director runs the session against your brief: meaning, pace and every agreed pronunciation. You can listen in remotely.

  3. 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.

African French voice-over questions

Is there one African French accent?

No. We cast for the country, and the brief should name it.

Can you add local-language versions?

Ask us for the language; availability is confirmed before quoting.

Can a France voice work for Africa?

It will be understood, but local audiences often prefer a voice that sounds like them.
