Malayalam in a voice-over brief

Malayalam is the language of Kerala and has a script with many ligatures. It has a high literacy tradition and a significant diaspora in the Gulf. The spoken language varies between north and south Kerala and differs from the literary form. A brief states the audience, the register and whether English or Tamil versions will follow.

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.
