Professional audio editing

Adelphi offers professionally edited audio as a standard for all of our voice over projects. What exactly does this mean? Go here and we will have a look at what we do with the audio before delivering it to our clients, changing the ‘raw’ unedited audio data into professional, clean-sounding voice-over files. Included in our quality checks are, listening to the audio to check for any errors, that the pronunciation is correct, all segments have been recorded, timings are right and the files are correctly split and named; we take out any overly long pauses and normalise the levels so all the audio is of the same volume.

Arabic voice-over talents

We work specifically with professional talents so that we maintain our level of quality and professionalism. Each of our talents has their own rates that they work with, this being based on the region they are from, the nature of the project and if they are part of a union. In a one-hour recording session, our talents can record between 1,500 – 3,000 words of voice-over, which is 10 – 20 minutes of audio. This depends on the speed required for the project; e.g. slow for audiobooks and narrations, regular paced e-learning, or fast for commercials.

Voice-over usage fees

This is a complex subject as each of our talents has their own rates for the usage fees. Some talents will charge a fee and some will not. Things to consider with the buyout fees is where the material will be shown such as radio; is that local radio, regional radio or national radio?

The usage fee will also depend on the country the voice artist is based in as there is no international standard rate. We recommend you approach us first and let us know the nature of the project and the budget you have. We will then provide you with the talents that are flexible enough to work within your needs.

Arabic-accented English voice artists

English voice-overs with an Arabic accent. Our Arabic voice artists speaking English offer great options for your Audio project. Adelphi provides Arabic-accented English voice recordings to customers all over the world.

Arabic voice-over translations

Our experienced translation team will work with you to fully understand your project in order to effectively manage the workflow from concept to completion. Adelphi ensures that all our translators are professional and work only into their mother tongue. This ensures accuracy.

If the Arabic audio is going to be used over a video, then the voice-over translation could include time-codes to help the engineer sync up the audio to the video.

The style of translation is important for voice-over translations and should reflect the genre, e.g. if it is for marketing, public information, drama etc. The audio translator will have a copy of the video as a reference and is instructed to translate using a style to match the source material. All our translators have signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement).

Transcription services

We also provide transcriptions from audio or video in any language, which can be used for processes like providing time-coded transcripts for translation. The length of many languages will expand when compared to the original English and care must be taken in the translation to keep the true meaning of the English, while staying within the time frames allowed in the audio/video. Depending on the language, we sometimes have to edit the English to make a more concise version of the original; this is because the spoken version of many languages is much longer than the English and may not fit in the allocated time slot. In these cases, we will, of course, discuss the edited English with you first before we begin translation into Arabic.

Subtitling option

Subtitling can often offer a cheaper alternative to voice-overs, at Adelphi we also produce English and Foreign language subtitles in over 80 languages. So if your not sure which is best for your project, voice-overs or subtitles give us a call or drop us an email and we will answer any questions you have.

Producing Foreign Language Voice Overs and Sound Recordings.

Adelphi Translations has produced voice overs in many different foreign languages. We have our own in-house digital recording studio for foreign language voiceover projects, plus a portable digital recording facility if required. We can provide audio files in any format, including WAV, WMA or MP3. We can deliver the files to you via email, FTP or on CD or DVD. Adelphi Translations has produced voiceovers for many of the community languages in the UK including Hindi, Urdu, Somali, Chinese, Gujarati, Punjabi, Arabic, Yoruba, Farsi, Dari, Kurdish and many more.

CDs can only support one track therefore multiple language selection is not available, however DVDs can support multiple tracks making it possible to be able to select different language through an interface. We design and build interfaces where the language required can be selected from a list. To hear some sample foreign language voice overs please visit:

For small runs we can burn CDs or DVDs in-house and design and print a label onto the disc. We also provide an interface where the language required can be selected from a list of languages.

Foreign Language Flash files

Adelphi Translations have been producing flash files in Asian, European and Arabic languages for the past 6 years. Our in-house experts have recently completed Flash files in Japanese, Korean, Arabic and many other languages. Flash can be used to produce web-based animations or interactive interfaces as can be seen in the examples at:

Foreign Language Subtitles

Our multimedia department is set up to work on a wide range of subtitling formats. We are able to take your original video and recreate a working copy, which has foreign language subtitles, either on web video (including Flash movies) or DVD.

To see and read more about our work please CLICK HERE to visit our dedicated Subtitling and Voice-Overs website.

The process we go through to achieve this is as follows:

Transcription -> Prepare text for subtitle -> Translation -> Input foreign language -> Export Subtitle

We export subtitles that are compatible with your own authoring software. Alternatively, we can author the disc and provide you with a working foreign language version of your original CD. Subtitles can also be ‘burned’ onto the video when it is not necessary to provide a selection of languages, and you wish the subtitles to be permanently visible. This technique is often used for web video clips.

English-accented voice artists. With both professional and standard voices available.

The level of Tamil voice-over required can vary. Some clients require high-level, BBC style Tamil voice-over artists for commercial use, others require just a clear reading voice, while some prefer a Tamil voice-over by a local amateur. The choice is the client’s. Depending on the subject matter, some choose a male or female for their Tamil voice and specify a specific age group.

At Adelphi we will try to accommodate whatever type of Tamil voice-over you require. We will either send samples of artists we already have on our books, or search for and record new voices for you to choose from. Please be aware that the price of a voice-over artist will be dependent on their level of experience.
