While most foreign language voice over is done by native speakers without any trace of a regional accent or dialect, sometimes the presence of a distinctive accent is needed for the target audience at hand. JBI Studios, a Japanese voice over company located in Los Angeles, offers one such customization for projects that require it. Suitable for e-learning, television, radio or PSA recordings, Japanese voice talents can perform English language voice over with a Japanese accent.
This unique type of foreign language voice over is part of the many services JBI Studios offers in multimedia localization. English language voice over with a Japanese accent provides Japanese localization to any production. This may serve the purpose of making a specific population—for instance, Japanese immigrants living in the United States—feel more comfortable and trusting of the speaker. For any type of multimedia project this is important, however it might be especially essential for reaching a target population through a PSA or e-learning environment.
Achieve proper Japanese pronunciation of terms and phrases
Like any other language localization project, Japanese localization of this type would take into consideration four distinct areas—linguistic, physical, business and cultural, and technical. Besides a speaker with a recognizable accent and proper Japanese pronunciation of terms, Japanese accent English voice over might also include adoption of certain phrases and cultural references. These considerations would further seek to make the listener or viewer more at ease while absorbing the information being communicated.
Japanese voice talents are very experienced at performing no accent voice over, however, since many are also accustomed to acting in its many different forms, they are also skilled at delivering accented voice over when necessary. As a Japanese voice over company specializing in projects related to Japanese multimedia, such as anime and cartoon series, JBI Studios has access to a diverse array of Japanese voice talents with many different skill sets.
