A big script with little time for recording
The developer needed voiceover and localization support from Chinese into English for the upcoming release of major title across English-speaking regions. The company wanted to take a proactive role in overseeing the auditions for the main characters but, owing to a fast turnaround, preferred to leave the casting for the many NPC roles to a vendor. One of the main challenges was the very tight production schedule: the company wanted recordings completed within approximately one week, which meant that the voice talent had to be auditioned and booked very quickly, before going straight into recording sessions to record over 3000 lines of game script.
Multiple stakeholders, a single goal
The developer chose Alpha Studios as the company was able to offer a combination of voiceover production expertise, localization experience, and strong project coordination. The production and VO teams from Alpha Studios liaised daily with the company’s production team, so that all stakeholders were fully aware of the directors’ and production team’s recording schedules, as well as tracking progress of all the phases of the project.
After sourcing and booking the voice artists, the Studio teams drew up a comprehensive timetable of recording sessions, with specialist, on-site engineers, and voice directors present during all sessions. Once recording had been completed, Alpha Studios also supported with post-production services, including editing and mixing, as well as reviewing and QA, before final delivery.
The results
Alpha Studios delivered 3000+ lines of recorded dialogue within the one-week deadline. The team auditioned, cast, and directed 17 voice artists across multiple recording sessions, completing 65 hours of studio time. The company approved the main character performances and received fully edited, mixed, and QA-reviewed audio files ready for integration into the game. The launch was on schedule in English-speaking markets with complete voiceover localization from Chinese to English.
