Mandarin Voiceover

Yes, as a standing part of the roster. Mandarin Chinese is spoken in mainland China and Taiwan, plus Singapore, Malaysia and Chinese communities worldwide, and the artists are native speakers who work in the language daily rather than bilinguals reading phonetically. You hear two or three of them against your own script before you book anything.

Either way works. Where we translate, the Mandarin Chinese script is timed against your video before anyone records, so the read fits the edit instead of being squeezed into the session on the day. Translation is $0.10 per word, quoted alongside the recording, and the timed script comes back for your approval first.

You are given a date, not a range: rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours where it is urgent, and a firm delivery time in the quote where it is not. A Mandarin Chinese booking covers casting, recording and editing, and the date you are given accounts for all three.

The 99+% accuracy standard comes from human work plus an independent check: one voice artist produces the file, and then a second listener checks the take against the approved script. Names, numbers and technical terms are checked for pronunciation before the session, not fixed afterwards. Names, places and loanwords in a Mandarin Chinese script are checked for pronunciation with the artist before the session starts. That second pass is what catches a mispronounced name or a read that will not fit the edit.

Yes. Everyone who touches your material signs an NDA, transfer is encrypted, and access is limited to the people assigned to the job, usually one voice artist and one reviewer. Mandarin Chinese scripts often belong to campaigns that have not launched, so they go no further than the artist and the engineer. Your own agreement can be signed before the first file is sent.

Audio arrives as WAV or MP3 at the sample rate you specify, edited and ready to drop in. Files can be split by section or supplied as one continuous take, and the raw unedited audio is available too. The Mandarin Chinese audio is delivered in your project specification, with split files per section where an editor needs them. Audio is delivered at the sample rate and file type your project runs on, edited clean and ready to drop in.

Upload or share a link, and the quote follows within minutes. Send the Mandarin Chinese script with a note on tone, pace and audience, because that is what the casting shortlist is built from. A style note or template sent with the files is applied from the first delivery.

Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks, and businesses and institutions can be set up on monthly invoicing instead of paying per job. Nothing is taken up front on Mandarin Chinese work: payment falls due once you have approved the written quote. Agencies and production teams booking several voices are invoiced per campaign instead of per session. The price you approve in the written quote is the price you are charged.

Revisions are free for 30 days after delivery. Tell us which page, line or timestamp is wrong and a corrected file comes back, usually the same day. A line the Mandarin Chinese artist reads in a way you did not intend is re-recorded as a pickup, not re-quoted.

Voice-over is quoted per job, from the script you send. A voice-over quote has two parts, the recording and the usage, and both are itemised before you book. Mandarin Chinese is requested often enough that several artists can be auditioned against your script rather than one offered. Nothing starts before you approve that figure in writing, and the invoice matches it exactly.
