Voice search & casting

Voiceover sessions are without doubt our specialist operation, as the majority of production work undertaken by Dubmaster involves a voiceover session at some stage. We have an ever-increasing list of professional voice talent, which you can audition right now in our Voice Search area. Alternatively call or email your requirements and we will provide you with our recommendation. You can even direct a session from a deckchair on the beach if you wish, as we can patch the session onto our phone system, saving you time and money (especially convenient for short V/O sessions). Call us for a demo of this facility.

ISDN audio facilities

A voiceover delivered to you within minutes of receiving your script

You are probably aware of the advantages ISDN lines have over conventional phone lines for data transfer, but another use for ISDN, utilized by the audio industry for some years, is point-to-point transfer of broadcast quality audio in real time. Dubmaster is fully equipped to take advantage of this technology, opening up a whole world of possibilities. We are no longer limited to using voice-over artists who are local to the studio but can record sessions from anywhere in the world, allowing us for example to use a native American voice on a production. Many of our voice-over artists have their own ISDN installations, so if you have an urgent voice-over requirement, we can be recording your chosen artist within minutes of receiving your script by e-mail or fax. You can even direct the session over the phone using our phone patch. To further enhance speed of delivery, you can receive the edited audio via e-mail, or download it from our ftp site within minutes of the recording session.

We are not only able to provide the initial translation of script's, and voice artists in virtually any language via our Voice Search facility, but if necessary can also provide directors and producers in most languages to oversee the smooth and accurate reversioning of your production.

(Video / Film audio post production)

Dubmaster Studios can undertake your entire audio postproduction requirements or any combination of elements including: voice-over to picture, ADR, track laying, auto conform, M&E mixes, foreign-language versions and effects creation and synchronisation. Many of our clients have their own picture editing facilities and handle simple track laying in-house, using Dubmaster for the finishing touches. For other clients we start from scratch - synchronising effects into mute archive footage; adding original or library music; producing M&E tracks; and adding narration in a variety of languages. All of these elements can be sourced through Dubmaster. Voice talent can be auditioned and booked on-line with our Voice Search facility; music can be scored and synchronised in-house by our partners Diva Music; or for tighter budgets we have pre-recorded library music with helpful search facilities. We have our own large sound-effects library and online access to other SFX libraries for instant audition and download. Beta SP is our preferred working format for synchronisation and is included in our hourly rate, but we can work with any professional format if pre-booked. An additional charge will be made for machine hire, but charged at cost. Please call for more information on preparation for dubbing sessions.

Voice prompts & voicemail

You know how important it is to your company's image to have a professional sounding voice prompting and messaging system. Here at Dubmaster we have many years' experience producing voice messages for companies large (IBM) and small. Extreme care has to be taken with intonation in phrases that should link together seamlessly, and that's where our expertise lies. If you wish, you can leave the whole process to us. We are able to recommend voice talent, help with messaging scripts and supply final audio in the correct format for your messaging system. You'll also be able to keep your system up-to-the-minute utilising our ISDN audio facility and using the same voice-over artist every time,.

We also operate a second workstation running Soundforge software with its excellent range of effects, audio rescue plug-ins and batch processing of files into alternative formats. Work has included mastering of rare archive 78 recordings to CD with scratch and surface noise removal, CD compilations with PQ coding onto DDP Exabyte masters, (the preferred format for duplication plants), format transfer, and mastering in a variety of internet streaming formats.
