Dutch dubbing

Dubbing in Holland

Let's face it- it's quite challenging to come across a Dutch dubbing service that can actually convey the authentic experience with your content in Dutch . There's no question that most dubbing companies put a lot of efforts to achieve it- customer content is reviewed, and proper translators are assigned, translations are proofread, castings are held, and most suitable dubbing artists are selected to match the original voices. Recording and post-production take place in an acoustically treated, secure studio environment and an easy and convenient delivery is performed after QA validation of every single file.

But there's a catch.

The original content has been produced in another country, within a different cultural context, and simply translating it is not nearly enough to transcend the creative and artistic intent. In result, the Dutch , or any foreign language dubbing, ends up being just a distant reflection of the original version. And shows that are commercial hits on one market end up being mediocre on others after dubbing.

To help you craft an authentic experience with your content and achieve a native sounding local version, we apply a culture first approach- we create a dub that considers all the local cultural norms and traditions to recreate a culturally relevant, immersive viewer experience in Dutch language.

GoPhrazy provides Dutch dubbing services via our network studio for your TV, film, movie, cartoon, animation, live action, promo, trailer, commercial, theatrical, video game and YouTube content.

Fun facts about Holland

Holland, often mistakenly used to refer to the entire Netherlands, is a region known for its picturesque landscapes, windmills, and vibrant culture. The country is famously flat, with more than a quarter of its land lying below sea level. To keep the sea at bay, intricate systems of dikes and canals have been developed, some of which date back centuries. Amsterdam, the capital, is world-renowned for its canals, which are lined with charming houses, bicycles, and flower stalls. The city is also famous for its art scene, with museums like the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum showcasing masterpieces that attract visitors from around the globe.

Holland’s tulip fields are iconic, with vibrant colors painting the landscape each spring. The tulip, originally brought from Turkey, has become a symbol of Dutch culture. The Dutch are also known for their love of cycling, with bikes being the most popular mode of transportation in cities and towns. Dutch cuisine might not be as famous as some other European countries, but it has unique offerings such as stroopwafels, thin waffles filled with caramel syrup, and bitterballen, deep-fried snacks often enjoyed with a cold beer. Holland is a country of progressive thinking, having been among the first to legalize same-sex marriage and marijuana, making it a place where open-mindedness thrives.
