FAQs
by Mark Weitzman1. Can you sync the narration to my video?
Yes. The Japanese-language script you provide should contain the length in seconds of each section of text to be voiced. We can provide a single audio file that is synced to your video. That is, the Japanese audio playback from :00 will match the video from :00. The Japanese audio file will sync to the language and the scenes in the video. Then you could simply drop-in the audio track to your video track. Please provide the video. Generally, synching is included in the narration fee.
2. How soon can you do it?
Time to completion is dependent upon the availability of the narrator you selected, and the details of your project. We do our best to produce projects in a timely manner.
3. How much does it cost?
Generally, the final cost will be based on the number of Japanese characters (i.e. words) to be voiced.
Estimates can be provided based on the number of Japanese characters, the number of minutes of Japanese voiceover only, and on the number of English words in a script.
Prices also reflect the cost of living in Japan, the prices for voiceovers in Japan, the fluctuating currency exchange rate, and, if applicable, surcharges relative to international job-provider matching services on the internet. Lets Narrate Japanese voiceover services are competitively priced.
