Quechua in a voice-over brief

Quechua is a family of languages rather than a single one, with varieties in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Argentina that differ in sound and vocabulary. Cusco-Collao Quechua and Ayacucho Quechua are among those used in education and media in Peru. Spanish loanwords are common in daily speech. The spelling used in the script also varies between countries. We ask for the variety, the country and the writing convention, and confirm voice availability before quoting.

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.
