French Advertising voice over

French is the language of a lot of the world's luxury, cosmetics, hospitality and wine and spirits advertising, and those categories are won on restraint — a voice that suggests rather than sells, with the poise the brand is paying for. We cast for that elegance and direct for timing that sits to the edit, recorded to broadcast standard so the spot clears on air, radio and online.

The variety call matters for ads: Metropolitan French for France and much of francophone Europe and Africa, Canadian French for a Québec campaign — where a Metropolitan read sounds distinctly foreign. Tell us the market and we cast to it, and can record versions for more than one francophone territory from the same script.

As with any commercial, the trap is usage — a licence set by media, territory and term, separate from the recording. French campaigns often span France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and francophone Africa, so the territory has to be defined precisely. We set and quote it with you up front and record cutdowns and market versions in the same session.
