In this interview, Céline comments on the creation of the company and its development, both in France and internationally, which benefitted from the support of many organizations such as: Réseau entreprendre, BPI, Coface, and CCI 93.

“Performing for voice-overs or dubbings is a real profession!”

With 5 studios in Paris and Miami and working with more than 1000 actors in over 60 languages, VOA Voice Studios “puts the best voices at the service of audiovisual projects”. Céline Guerbert seize the occasion to remind that the most important quality to perform voice-overs and dubbings is to be a professional actor. Beyond that, one has to “practice, practice and practice even more!”.
Performing voice-overs and dubbings is a matter of professionals: it requires specific knowledge and skills, regarding phrasing and articulation, body positioning in front of the microphone, controlling mouth noise, mastering  lip syncing for dubbing, and so forth. It is a demanding profession in terms of work, as in terms of passion! “A lot of training is necessary, but you also have to enjoy and take pleasure in every project you record.”
