What Canadian French voice-over is hired for

  • Quebec

    The core Canadian French market, with a voice and vocabulary that locals recognise as their own.

  • French-speaking communities across Canada

    Acadian and other communities have their own accents; we confirm the target.

  • National campaigns in English and French

    Canadian brands run French and English versions side by side.

Typical projects

  • Brands advertising in Quebec
  • Public bodies and utilities with French service
  • Learning teams in Canadian companies
  • Global brands localising for Canada

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Canadian French session.

  1. A different sound

    Vowels, rhythm and some consonants differ from France. Quebec listeners notice a metropolitan voice at once.

  2. Different vocabulary

    Many everyday words and expressions differ, so a France script needs adapting.

  3. English in the mix

    Business English appears, but copy often avoids it. Scripts set the rule.

What casting decides in Canadian French

  • Quebec or neutral Canadian

    Advertising wants Quebec speech; some corporate work uses a more neutral Canadian read.

  • Formal or familiar

    Public information is formal; retail is warmer.

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.

It will sound foreign. We recommend a Canadian voice.

Do you adapt scripts for Quebec?

We flag vocabulary and forms that change and you approve them.

Yes, with matched voices and one quote.
