How does a Japanese script turn into an English VO?ĪD: In general, we’ll provide translations for the English voice director, then the director has to slightly alter the lines in order to match them to character lip flaps. We also had to consider the length of the subtitles for each spoken phrase each line needed to be short enough in subtitles to look presentable, but the audio needed to be as long and drawn out as possible to match the heavy, deflated tone in the scene. However, Claude’s Japanese VO for this opening scene had so many extended pauses that it took a lot of work to match the English script and VO to the Japanese even without animation to worry about. Since you record to match lip flaps, is it kind of a nice break for the team when you have a scene like this without any animation?ĪD: In most cases yes, it’s nice to not worry about matching animations. The prologue cutscene starts with a black screen while Claude, the game’s lead character, talks over it. We kept the exact same team members present throughout the recording process to ensure consistency in the VO’s direction. We also had some re-recordings to fine-tune parts of the localization we wanted to improve. How long was the English VO recording process for the game?Īndrew Davis: We spent about 10 weeks total in the studio, starting with the untimed lines – VO with no timing restrictions – and then moving on to the Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR), the scenes where we match voices to characters’ lip-flap. Today though, we’re diving deep into the voice direction for the English voice-over with Sega Associate Localisation Producer and lead for Valkyria Chronicles 4, Andrew Davis, using the game’s prologue cutscene as reference.
