The importance of good voiceovers

Every character, even an illustrated one, has its own nature, distinctive features, and personality. A viewer can form an opinion about each character not only according to its visuals (clothes, movements, facial expressions), but also the voice. Intonation, volume, and other specific features of speech create the entire emotional component of the cartoon character. And to create and produce unique voices for animated characters, it’s important to engage talented professional dubbing actors.

Voicing animation requires actors to create personalities for their characters and develop backstories that add believability to their performance. Voice actors need to convey emotions and experiences, depending on what is happening on the screen.

In addition to the emotional component, the sound quality itself is also incredibly important. No matter how talented the actor is, the recording cannot be done without high-quality equipment and engineering. Therefore, masterpiece animated videos are created only in a professional recording studio, like Edge Studio.

Types of voiceovers for animated videos

Our studio offers the following types of voiceovers for anime and cartoons:

  • Single-voice and multi-voice voiceovers. Depending on the complexity of the cartoon and the number of characters, we select one, two or more professional dubbing actors. They voiceover lines and create a “library” of sounds for each character – laughter, crying, surprise.
  • Offscreen narration. In this case, the actor’s voice is recorded and put over the original soundtrack. This way, the narrator can explain what is happening on screen in a detached way and share the thoughts of the characters with viewers.
  • Dubbing. The characters’ lines are translated into another language, the actors’ voices are recorded to completely replace the original soundtrack.

The importance of choosing the right voice actors for cartoons

The actor’s voice should fit the character and its temperament as succinctly as possible. This task becomes even more complicated if one actor voices several characters at once. The emotional reactions of each character should be unique, so the perfect voice actor should have a wide vocal range. Another important point is making sure that the movement of the characters’ lips matches the soundtrack.

Dubbing anime is even more difficult. In such animation, emotions are often expressed with the help of shouting, laughter, crying, and more. An anime dubbing actor should be able to embody the character and fully convey emotions with his or her voice.

Voice over and dubbing of anime requires possession of an even greater vocal range. Our company works with the best narrators and voice actors from around the world and can find the best talent for voicing your animation.

Stages of voicing animation in Edge Studio

Voicing animation is bringing animated characters from cartoons, short internet videos, or TV shows to life using the art of voice acting and engineering.

In voice over animation, the actors’ lines are recorded separately either in studio or remotely. Then the disparate tracks are merged together into a single recording that matches the animated film and includes the musical score, background sounds, and voice over.

In general, the process of voicing anime and cartoons can be divided into the following stages:

  • selection of voices;
  • draft recording;
  • further voice development of the characters (accents, intonations, etc.);
  • clean recording;
  • selection of the best takes;
  • sound and footage synchronization;
  • final mixing.
