Voiceover Casting Services

Voiceover casting in China draws on a dubbing (配音) tradition. It centers on the Shanghai Film Translation Studio (上海电影译制厂). This legendary house has localised Soviet, European, and Hollywood cinema for Chinese audiences from the 1950s to today. It also draws on TV-trained voice talent from the Communication University of China dubbing track in Beijing. Our access spans the main Mandarin-neutral, seiyū-equivalent rosters. They work from Beijing's Chaoyang studios and Shanghai's Hengshan Road recording cluster. We add Cantonese talent for the Hong Kong and Guangdong markets, plus regional voices for Sichuanese, Shanghainese, and Beijing dialect reads when scripts call for a set accent. Our team shortlists talent by character age, gender, and regional accent. We brief shoots on the distinct tone that defines CCTV documentary narration, iQIYI and Tencent Video dubbing for English-to-Mandarin work, and commercial reads for domestic brands.

Sessions run at fixed Beijing and Shanghai studios. Our engineers are skilled in ISDN, Source-Connect, and cloud-based remote direction, so overseas directors can join live without travel. We set up auditions against NRTA pre-approval timelines when the dubbed track needs official sign-off. Our team manages agency contracts and PIPL-compliant usage rights. We also build buyouts that cover domestic cinema, streaming sites, broadcast, and worldwide perpetual licences as needed.

Bilingual casting briefs are translated by the same coordinator who runs the session. This makes sure the Mandarin or Cantonese reads land with the same intent as the English script. Standard casting selections return within forty-eight hours. Rush turnarounds are ready for commercial deadlines, and same-day options cover crisis-communications or breaking-news narration.
