Mandarin Chinese voice over for your market.
Mandarin Chinese is written in two scripts and spoken with distinct accents, so the audience decides between simplified and traditional text and between mainland and Taiwanese delivery.

Specs
Specs for a Mandarin Chinese delivery
- Script length
- Chinese is compact on the page, but spoken it often runs close to English in time; tones mean a mispronounced syllable changes the word.
- Register
- Corporate and public content uses a plain standard register, while advertising and social media use a lighter, more colloquial one.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.
- Native review before delivery
- A native Mandarin Chinese speaker checks the script and the takes.

Questions
Mandarin Chinese, answered.
Simplified or traditional Chinese?
Simplified for mainland China and Singapore, traditional for Taiwan and Hong Kong. The audience decides, and so does the accent we cast.
Do you mark pronunciation for tricky characters?
Yes. We add pinyin where a character has several readings, so the actor does not guess.
