Sticky PostOn 10 November 2017

C’est avec une immense tristesse que nous apprenons le décès du comédien Patrick Bethune.

Notre collaboration avec Patrick depuis plus de 16 ans a été un privilège car son talent était véritablement à la hauteur de sa gentillesse et de sa modestie.

Adieu cher Patrick, nous pensons très fort à toi et mille merci pour ce magnifique travail accompli en ta compagnie !

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.
