LA MARQUE ROSE

A concentrated source of expertise and know-how...

To make a long story short…

There are no magic formulas or foolproof techniques at La Marque Rose, and no off-the-shelf solutions. Just a subtle blend of passion, talent, experience, innovation, flexibility and adaptability.

Because every project is different and requires a customized treatment. There are no miracle machines here, just women and men with ideas, courage and the practical know-how that’s been an indispensible part of every project’s success for the past 26 years.

They are La Marque Rose’s most valuable resource.

Welcome to La Marque Rose… make yourself at home!

WHO ARE WE?

Today, in a secure environment in the heart of Paris, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Place Charles-de-Gaulle, our offices are home to four ultra-modern multi-track recording studios, 7 pre- and post-production stations and 2 HD editing consoles.

Our production offices, where client-vendor synergies are transformed on a daily basis into spoken dialogue that’s translated, recorded and delivered right on time, every time. Our eighteen professionals make it their top priority.

OUR DNA

Our network of passionate and specialized translators extends across multiple continents. LMR selects and trains the best translators for each job, whether they’re translating a given project alone or as a team.
After 20 years of close collaboration with voice actors, our artistic teams are just as comfortable playing host to established stars as they are when welcoming new talent. Your products always benefit from the best-sounding voices, just right for the job and as natural as the originals.

GAME

Ensure a gaming experience in French that’s as rich and immersive as the original.

GAME

Translations that respect your official terminology, ensuring complete immersion in the style of a given universe, and dialogues that hit the bullseye every single time.

Deeply familiar with the world of the game, the lead voice director is responsible for casting character voices and defining how each one should be interpreted, for providing actors with context for each scene, and for ensuring the spontaneity and contextual appropriateness of every line.

Adaptation of dialogue to recording constraints and to the local culture, along with a lip-sync process based on a motion-picture style rythmo band, help us to achieve the most effective performances in every scene we record.

A dedicated project manager coordinates the teams and ensures the smooth progression of the project, the integration of multiple updates into the production cycle, a final pass quality control, and reliable on-time delivery.

THEY PUT THEIR TRUST IN US.
