JBI Studios announces expansion of Japanese voice over services with larger Japanese voice talent

Feb. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles-based audio and video production house JBI Studios is pleased to announce the expansion of its Japanese voice over services and Japanese accent English voice over. After recently growing its Japanese voice actors database to 30 skilled voice talents, JBI Studios now offers the premiere selection of foreign language audio, video and multimedia content for Japanese voice overs and Japanese narrators.

With over 30 years of experience in the field, JBI Studios provides Japanese voice over for narration, animation, eLearning, gaming, translation, localization and dubbing. Working from two in-house recording studios, two in-house video editing suites and one in-house sound stage, JBI Studios offers its clients highly professional and efficient performance from project managers as well as Japanese language directors who supervise all Japanese recordings to ensure the correct Japanese pronunciations of product names or relevant Japanese terms.

“It’s really important in Japanese voice over to have English product names and loan words be pronounced correctly in Japanese, and we ensure this by using Katakana, a Japanese writing system used for transcription of foreign languages into Japanese,” said Xavier Marchand, COO of JBI Studios.

In 2010, JBI Studios provided services for over 60 Japanese voice over projects, ranging from eLearning, marketing video, anime, video games, films and IVR recordings. Japanese voice actors, known as seiyu, are based in both Los Angeles and in country in Japan. Anime voice overs and other Japanese translation projects with many different characters are often recorded in Japan.

The increased number of Japanese voice over talents in the JBI Studios database allows for a greater selection of character voices. Different seiyu have voice styles ranging from corporate and professional to cheeky and funny. Character voices can be everything from rich, fun, deep, smooth, theatrical or friendly, depending on the project and the client’s needs.

JBI Studios have provided foreign language media services for clients like Xerox, Colgate-Palmolive, Wendy’s and Schneider Electric.
