Voice-over and narration on Montreal's South Shore

Who we record for on the South Shore

The South Shore's economy — manufacturers, distributors, clinics, professional firms, retailers and municipalities — has very concrete narration needs:

• Training and health-and-safety clips — plant procedures, new-employee onboarding, annual refreshers, often in both French and English.
• Corporate and recruitment videos — presenting a Boucherville plant or a Longueuil firm to customers or candidates.
• On-hold phone messages — greetings, menus, opening hours, holiday messages.
• Radio and web advertising — local spots running on the stations and platforms that cover the South Shore.
• Product demonstrations — narration for technical clips used on the web, at trade shows and across distributor networks.

The advantage of a studio nearby

Our Beloeil office is a short drive from Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, Saint-Lambert, Chambly, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and Saint-Hyacinthe. In practice that means three things: you can attend the session without crossing the bridge, we can combine the voice recording with a shoot at your site on the same day, and last-minute adjustments get handled without rescheduling a week out.

For manufacturers, that last point matters: a training script often changes after the health-and-safety review, and you need to be able to re-record three segments without restarting the whole project.

French, English — and the right French

Our francophone performers are from here: the tone is Québécois, not Parisian, and both your employees and your customers notice. For South Shore companies that export or serve an anglophone clientele, we hand English to native Canadian voices rather than having a francophone read it — the accent registers immediately and undermines the credibility of a technical clip.

Planning both languages from the outset lowers the total cost, because the edit, the graphics and the on-screen timings are built to accommodate two different durations: a French script usually runs 15 % to 20 % longer than its English version.

What it costs

(Indicative ranges — to be confirmed for your project.)

• Corporate clip, 1 to 2 minutes — $250 to $700.
• E-learning module — $100 to $250 per finished minute, with volume discounts on long runs.
• On-hold phone message — $150 to $400.
• Radio or web advertising — $500 to $3,000 and up, depending on usage rights and campaign length.

One voice, one look, one brand

Narration ties naturally into our other services: video production for the shoot, editing and post-production for the assembly, and branding so the tone of the voice matches the tone of your visual identity.
