Japanese voice over for your market.
Japanese has several levels of politeness, and the right one for a brand shows in every verb ending, so tone is decided before the script is written.

Specs
Specs for a Japanese delivery
- Script length
- Japanese text is short on screen but long in speech, so timing is checked by reading the script aloud, not by counting characters.
- Register
- Keigo (honorific language) suits corporate, banking and public content, while casual forms suit games, youth brands and some advertising.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.
- Native review before delivery

Questions
Japanese, answered.
Which politeness level should we use?
Keigo for corporate and public content, and a lighter register for games and young audiences. We ask the brand before the adaptation.
Do you handle kanji readings in the script?
Yes. Where a character has several readings we mark the right one so the actor does not guess.
How long does a Japanese project take?
The quote gives the date.
