Documentary voice over services

Authoritative, engaging narration for documentaries and factual programming — plus UN-style voice replacement for interviews — recorded by experienced voice actors in 100+ languages.

Narration that carries your story

A great documentary lives and dies on its narration. The voice has to inform without lecturing, and hold attention across long stretches while letting the pictures and interviews breathe. That takes an experienced voice actor and careful direction, not just a nice voice.

We cast documentary specialists, direct the read to match your tone — from measured and authoritative to warm and personal — and handle UN-style voice replacement for foreign-language contributors. Everything is recorded and delivered to broadcast standard.
