Why it matters
French dubbing voice over: a VF your audience expects, lip-sync and all
France is one of the world's great dubbing cultures — cinema, television and streaming routinely ship a version française (VF), and French audiences are used to a high standard. We cast voices matched to the original performances and direct for a VF that carries the acting, not just the meaning of the lines.
Dubbing is a craft of its own. It runs through detection, adaptation and lip-sync — matching labials and timing lines to the on-screen mouths against a rythmo band. We handle the adaptation as well as the recording, so the French tracks to picture and feels native, rather than reading like a translation laid over the top.
Variety and delivery both matter: Metropolitan French is the default VF, while Québec has its own dubbing market and rules, so we cast to the territory. We record ADR to picture, keep character continuity across episodes and seasons, and deliver split stems and M&E-ready audio to your post house's spec.

French dubbing voice over — common questions
Metropolitan or Québec French for our dub?
Metropolitan French is the standard version française for France and most francophone territories. Québec has its own dubbing industry and expectations, so a title aimed there is best cast in Québec French. Tell us the territory and we cast to it.
Do you handle lip-sync and adaptation, or just record voices?
Both. We can take it from detection and adaptation through to a lip-synced recording, matching labials and timing to the picture, so the VF sits naturally on the on-screen performance rather than reading as a straight translation.
Can you match the original cast and keep continuity?
Yes. We shortlist French voices against the original actors for tone and character, and reserve them across episodes and seasons so recurring characters keep the same voice throughout the series.
How much does French dubbing cost?
Dubbing is quoted on runtime to picture, the number of characters and the level of adaptation and sync required, plus any usage licence. Send the footage or a breakdown for an exact, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.
How fast can you deliver?
Most projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; larger jobs are scheduled with your dedicated project manager against agreed milestones.
Can I direct the session remotely?
Yes. Attend in person at our Central-London studios, or direct live over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams, so you get exactly the delivery you want without travelling.
What audio formats and specs do you deliver?
Whatever your project needs — broadcast-standard WAV, MP3 or split stems, at the sample rate, bit depth and loudness (LUFS) you specify. Just share your delivery spec and we'll match it.
