Before we get into the finer details, it's common for clients to request that we sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) — we’re happy to do this to protect your content.

Next, we’ll schedule a relaxed but structured meeting with our Project Manager and Executive Producer. This session is all about understanding your needs and ensuring we’re a good fit for your project. During this call, we’ll cover the following essentials:

• The language pair(s) required (e.g. English to Swahili)

• Your turnaround times and ideal delivery dates

• The final deliverables you’re expecting

• The quality and format of the assets you already have (video, script, M&E tracks, etc.)

• The dubbing style you’re after (lip-sync, voice-over, UN-style narration)

• Any special pronunciation guides, tone references or cultural sensitivities we should be aware of

• The target audience or broadcast platform, to help us align style and tone

• An idea of your project timeline and budget range, if available
