Film & Storytelling / Voice Over & Narration

Voice Over & Narration

Arabic and English narration that walks decision-makers through your project, scripted from the design report and timed to every shot.

What we do

The voice
of the project.

A road or masterplan film has to explain a complex design to people who will never read the drawings. We turn your design report into a clear script, record it in Arabic and English, and time every line to the animation.

01

Script Writing

We turn design reports, BODR documents and technical briefs into narration that decision-makers understand at first listen.

  • From design reports
  • Plain language
  • Timed to shots
02

Arabic Narration

A formal, confident Arabic delivery for municipality and government presentations, written and voiced for the Gulf audience.

  • Fusha (MSA)
  • Gulf tone
  • Government-ready
03

English Narration

Clear technical English for international partners, investors and design reviews, delivered in the same edit as the Arabic version.

  • International clients
  • Bilingual versions
  • Technical clarity
04

Sync to Animation

Each line lands on its shot. The camera reaches the interchange as the narration names it, and labels appear on the word.

  • Shot-by-shot timing
  • Label cues
  • Re-cut to fit
05

Casting & Direction

We match the voice to the project and direct every session, so project names, districts and technical terms are pronounced correctly.

  • Voice samples
  • Directed sessions
  • Name pronunciation
06

Subtitles & Versions

Arabic and English subtitles plus short cutdowns, so one film works for every audience and every screen.

  • AR / EN subtitles
  • Burnt-in or SRT
  • 60 / 30 / 15s cuts

Script to screen

Every line
has a shot.

We write the narration on a shot list, so you approve the words and the pictures together, in both languages, before anything is recorded.

FAQ

Good to
know.

Do you write the script, or do we?

Either works. We can write it from your design report and the film cut, or polish and time a script your team already has.

Can you add narration to a film we already have?

Yes. Send the final cut and we'll write, record and sync the narration. We can also re-cut shots so the picture fits the voice.

Can we get an English version of an Arabic film?

Yes. We adapt the script rather than translating word for word, record the new voice, and update the subtitles and on-screen labels.

Can we get the voice files only?

Yes. We deliver clean narration as a full take and as line-by-line files, ready for your own editor.
