Specs
Specs for a French delivery

- Tu or vous is a brand decision, and in corporate scripts vous is the safe default. We confirm it before adapting the text.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.

Questions
French, answered.
Is French Canadian just French with an accent?
No. Vocabulary, expressions and register differ, and Quebec audiences expect a local voice. We adapt the script for it.
Who checks French scripts before recording?
A native French speaker reviews pronunciation, register and timing before delivery.
How long does a French project take?
