Voice-over Artists and Services
A voice-over is a production technique where a recorded voice is synchronized to a video. Voice-overs are typically used on different platforms: television, film, and online for advertising, narration, documentary pieces, and more. In our industry, clients require corporate videos or presentations to be voiced in multiple languages for promotional or business purposes as well as employment training. Media companies also require multilingual voiceovers for their clients’ promotional material, TV shows, film production, commercials, etc. Generally, the voice-over artist is provided a translated script and then records the audio in a professional studio or using professional equipment in their home studio. Being a voice over artist is a hard job that combines linguistic, technical and marketing skills all in one package! High-tech software technology today can give you the option to instantly record tracks in acceptable quality. But to be a successful voice-over artist is not easy. First of all, if you want to have your voice heard, you need to have standout voice-over demo recordings available for potential employers. It is also a good idea to have your own at-home recording studio and that requires quite an investment. Furthermore, in the voice-over world, it is always useful to have a circle of friends in the business, so go to conferences! Meet some people, get some contacts, and seek advice from professional voice-over artists. What is there to lose? Finally, look after your main instrument: your voice! Vocal training can help you learn to breathe properly and help your voice sound great for long hours of recording. LingoStar Voice-over Services provides voice-overs in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese,... read moreQuality Assurance
LingoStar is committed to providing reliable and exceptional services to clients with global language needs. We take several steps along the translation process to ensure the highest standards are met in regards to customer service and quality assurance. We only use native speakers for translations, and all LingoStar translators and interpreters are highly qualified to translate into their native language. Our language professionals follow strict internal quality assurance guidelines, and we employ in-house quality control procedures for all our translations and related language services.

Additionally, all translations are spot-checked by the LingoStar team for inconsistencies and formatting errors prior to... read moreThe Different Varieties of Chinese
When it comes to the Chinese language, we can identify many different dialects, both written and spoken. First we will discuss the two most common spoken varieties of the Chinese language: Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese Chinese. Then we will note the differences between the two main styles of written Chinese: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Mandarin is the most spoken Chinese language in Mainland China. It is the official dialect for millions of people: as of 2010, there were 960 million native speakers of Mandarin in Mainland China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan and Singapore. On the other hand, we have Cantonese Chinese, spoken primarily in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangzhou. Mandarin and Cantonese are very distinct languages. As for written Chinese, we have Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese is a modern form of Chinese writing, appearing after the 1950’s. It is said that Simplified Chinese was developed to encourage people to learn to read by simplifying the Traditional Chinese characters. It is used in Mainland China and Singapore. On the other hand, Traditional Chinese is the original text that has been used for centuries in China. Chinese speakers in Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese characters. Of course, there are many more dialects than just Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, and more written styles than just Simplified and Traditional Chinese. If we go deeper in the subject, we can also find differences between Traditional Chinese in Taiwan and Traditional Chinese in Hong Kong! Languages never cease to develop and change. Here at LingoStar we have professional certified translators available to translate your texts both in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.... read more
