We listen for meaning, pace and pronunciation in the session, not after it.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Swiss French session.

Septante and nonante
Switzerland uses septante and nonante, and several cantons say huitante for 80.
Calm, measured pace
Swiss French is often slower than France French, which suits finance and public copy.
Local vocabulary
Words differ from France. A France script needs a check.

What casting decides in Swiss French

Swiss or France voice
A Swiss voice sounds local; a France voice is understood but imported.
Alongside Swiss German
A Swiss campaign usually pairs French with Swiss Standard German.

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

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.
