Voiceover dramatically increases the impact of training programs, and has become ubiquitous in eLearning. While new technologies have lowered audio production and distribution costs in recent years, it remains an expensive component and must therefore be done right the first time. This can be critical when dealing with large amounts of audio files or multiple languages.

In this presentation, the speaker gives practical advice to streamline the different steps of audio production, both in English and in foreign languages: script preparation, voice selection, audio recording, post-production, file naming, linguistic quality assurance and more. Attendees on the media production side, as well as the localization side, learn valuable tricks to help them achieve higher quality, faster turnaround times and lower costs.

This audio conference covers:

• How to produce consistent sound in quality and level
• How to achieve bulletproof audio file naming
• How to minimize costs for your localized audio
• How to prepare your audio script in order to minimize studio time and post production errors
• Tips to avoid costly rerecordings
