English dubbing

Dubbing in English

Let's face it- even with so many English dubbing providers out there it is still quite challenging to come across an English dubbing service that can actually convey the authentic experience with your content in English. There is no doubt that most English dubbing studios put a lot of effort to achieve it- most have extensive numbers of dubbing artists available; some cover various accents or simply work at affordable rates. Many record and produce in professional, acoustically treated studio environments, have a high skilled personnel and strive to ensure a fast, secure file delivery. 

But there's a catch.

Your original content has been produced in another country, within a different cultural context and simply translating it in English is not nearly enough to transcend the authentic experience. Oftentimes, the produced English version serves multiple purposes, beyond providing a linguistic comprehension and simply placing suitable English voices or producing a decent quality audio is deficient to fulfill and enhance the production intent of your content. In result, the English, or any foreign language dubbing feel ends up being a distant reflection of the original language material. And TV shows that are a total hit on one market end up being mediocre on others upon dubbing.

At GoPhrazy London we specialize in English dubbing services where we have been setting the quality standards in the UK for the last 25 years. Our cross-disciplinary competences in the fields of linguistics, marketing, production and culture make us stand out from the crowd and provide you with a competitive advantage on English dubbing over your rival content license holders.

British English dubbing

British English, often referred to as Queen's English is the official language of the United Kingdom, spoken by 59.4 million people (98% of UK population). The UK includes 14 overseas territories like Gibraltar, the Falkland islands and a part of Antarctica. It is also a home to 14 other languages like Welsh, Scottish and Irish, along with other numerous immigrant accents from around the world.

GoPhrazy provides British English dubbing in the following accents:

• Scottish
• Irish
• Welsh
• Regional (Geordie, Cockney, Northern, West Country, Midlands, Estuary)
  

American English dubbing

Given the size and the cultural diversity within the United States, American English has both regional and nuanced differences. It includes many pronunciation, vocabulary and spelling characteristics that are unified throughout the country but distinct from other English accents. Many Americans use Standard American English which is perceived as "neutral" as it is considered free from ethnic, cultural and regional differences. It is also the accent used in official US media. GoPhrazy provides American English dubbing for both broadcast and non-broadcast media.

International English dubbing

Thanks to globalization and technology there's an on-going trend towards "neutral" accent for all kinds of English dubbing production. International English accent is for content that targets global markets where English is not the native language of the audience. Foreign viewers understand or speak English to different degrees and varying levels while businesses don't always want to sound as being native English. International English is meant to be a catch-all for any brand, product or message that strives to distance itself from identification to any particular country or region.

Accented English dubbing

Although businesses and brands address their international audiences in English, they often intend to sound more "native" to a foreign language audience. In order to communicate with a global authority to a local group of viewers, brands often use a local native voice that speaks accented English to establish credibility and connect to the public on a different level. This is a combination of authority and trust that grabs the attention and triggers the desired response.

GoPhrazy provides Accented English dubbing in all 150+ languages.
