Voiceovers Today: Leveraging New Methods and Technologies to Capture and Translate the Voice of Your Content
Though they’ve existed in audiovisual mediums for over a hundred years, voiceovers now serve as a powerful means of reaching a broad consumer audience that is simultaneously more accessible and harder to impress than ever through online channels. As internet media and online content become even more prevalent in today’s changing digital age of Web3, brands choose videos and interactive media to reach audiences across all devices more effectively and frequently than other channels allow.
Aside from marketing content, digital media is heavily incorporated in businesses today for internal and external, customer-facing eLearning content and multimedia training materials. In addition to corporate work environments, the entertainment industry continues to successfully produce, stream, and share video content, with a growing following from international audiences.
Now that working from home is becoming normalized, the ability for international employees to contribute in similar ways to their in-person peers has increased, diversifying and globalizing businesses’ content needs internally and externally. For internal communications, it is essential to provide consistent, high-quality, and professional content to all employees – a growing portion of which occurs across video and other multimedia. CSOFT provides quality voice-over dubbing and subtitle services for all your needs, from informational videos to corporate training programs, enabling you to share your content globally.
Streaming Translations: Driving Demand for the Multilingual Voiceover and Subtitling Talent
With more of the world connecting for entertainment experiences from computers and mobile devices than ever, demand for steaming translations has risen so sharply in recent years that many entertainment providers struggle to access linguistic and technical translation resources to support their global popularity. Combined with the highly preferential and subjective nature of entertainment localization, the recent rise in demand adds pressure not only for streaming platform translation clients but also for all users of multimedia and audiovisual translation services across channels – a powerful format in multilingual communications ranging from media publishing to branding and marketing.

Subtitle Localization
Translating and localizing subtitles requires immense attention to detail and accurate localization adaptations. With so many nuanced colloquialisms, it is essential to consider the direct definition of a word or a sentence and its cultural meaning. The need for these considerations is heightened when translating a spoken language, as spoken languages carry more specific regional dialects and terminology, as well as idioms, cultural references, and filler words.
Whether you are seeking embedded subtitling or sidecar subtitles (.srt file subtitles), CSOFT employs talented native-speaking translators and in-country linguists with a minimum of 7 years of experience to deliver high-quality subtitle localization services. Additionally, CSOFT ensures that your subtitles’ translations are reviewed and edited by a subject matter expert (SME) chosen for their industry and local knowledge and experience, adding confirmation that each subtitle segment conveys the meaning and artistry that the production team intended.

Streaming Entertainment and Multimedia Localization: Crafting Solutions for a Changed Post-pandemic Marketplace
After a 2020 breakout that saw entertainment platforms cover five years of anticipated growth in less than half the time, video streaming appears to be joining much of life in a return to pre-pandemic norms, but that slowdown has not necessarily translated into a downturn for streaming localization. With the VoD market growing toward an estimated $257 billion by 2029 (CAGR 17.6%), a healthy trajectory belies the many challenges of retaining audiences month-to-month for platforms like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and a profusion of other publishers courting a highly fickle viewership.
