| Foreign Language Translation | Getting foreign language translation right is important for three reasons: 1. You cant do literal translations of your English script, or your project will fail. 2. You need to write for the particular culture of the language. 3. You need storytellers that translate and adapt not translators that arent story tellers. Why Translation Firms Don't Work When creating audio tours for more than one language, we have a well honed process in place to deliver high-quality tours that are fun and entertaining. Foreign language translation is completed using experienced storytellers and professional voice talents. Our foreign language translation methodology requires that two translators work together on every language translation for Quality Assurance. During this process, our translators are not doing literal translations of the script. This is because it takes less time to say something in English than in most other languages. Our foreign language storytellers capture the essence of stories, add meaning and context, while taking into consideration audience and cultural sensitivity. Writing For Language and Culture When we write for language and culture, we avoid things like slang, wordplay and puns. This is because they wont be understood, or worse, may offend. Our focus is to make foreign language tours fun and entertaining, easy to understand, clear and familiar. After our foreign language script translations are done, we then vet our translated scripts through our voice talents. We take this additional step for Quality of Experience. Timing is Essential For GPS Tours Timing is essential for GPS tours. During our initial on-site visit, a Timing Template is created as a guideline for our writers. This timing guideline results from our on-site assessment of high and low traffic scenarios, tidal changes, alternative routes, tour stops, safety, announcements, and discrete ad placements to name a few. Our tour commentaries begin and end at the same time (in all languages). Storytellers Provide Better Foreign Language Translation Since it often takes more time to say the same thing in another language, a literal translation of English will not work. This is because literal foreign language translations of an English script will create audio segments that vary widely in lengths of time. When it comes to providing GPS tour entertainment were always thinking about your next point of interest. Thats why we developed a team of foreign language storytellers. Professional storytellers capture the essence of the story being told, in the allotted time. And they tell great stories the way your foreign language guests want to hear them. What this means is, we take culture into consideration during the translation process. What we say in English may not translate well in Japanese, or in fact, may be culturally insensitive. When we write foreign language tours, we write for language and culture. |

| Script Writing | AudioConexus offers industry leading script writing services for entertaining and engaging audio tours. We've written scripts for GPS audio tours in Canada, the United States, Europe, Southern Asia, and Latin America. We've also written for museums, historic sites, and world renowned traveling exhibitions such as Genghis Khan, The Silk Road, Tang, Shipwrecked, and Salvador Dali to name a few. Script writing for audio tours is a specialized discipline. How so? When we think of writing, we often think of writing for books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, and short stories. This is generally referred to as creative writing. This style of writing is meant to be read silently not heard. Creative writing relies on description to paint the picture of whats going on, or whats important. Script writing for tours requires less descriptive words, because the audience gets the picture with the additional benefit of professional voice talents and sound designers. Audio tour scripts consist of stories that are designed to be accompanied by music and sound effects. At AudioConexus, we call it: writing for the ear. Writing for the ear is different than writing for the minds eye. The audio tour script is designed to be integrated with music and sound effects, in order to create a moving, personal experience. A good script can mean the difference between a great tour and a tour that falls flat. Writers who have the expertise and the experience know how to tell fun, entertaining, and educational stories that sustain the interest of the audience. But even the best voice-over talent, music, or sound effects are useless, without a good audio tour script. People dont respond well to the mere recitation of facts and figures. However, they always connect with well-told stories. You can count on a great story to capture the imagination of your audience. |

| Sound Design and Production (Multilingual) | Our sound production studios have been recording, editing, and mixing award winning productions in the broadcasting, television, film and animation industries. Since 1996, weve also been producing multilingual audio tours for tourisms leading companies. Companies like Merlin Entertainment, the Sands Corporation, and the Dole Plantation. Weve also worked with many smaller operators who simply want the very best in entertainment for their passengers. What weve found though, throughout the years, is that what we do almost seems like magic, behind closed doors, where no one can see us. So we wanted to open up our process to you. Drop the veil. Become naked so to speak. Thats why youre invited to our sound production studios any time you like. So you want to join a session? No problem. Just call us and well make the arrangements. So why is sound an important factor in the Creative process? Its what lifts the sails and gives your tour life. Our goal, from writing, translation, to sound design and mixing, is to captivate the imaginations of your visitors. There are several aspects to making this happen. Here, well discuss a few of them. Professional Narration When it comes to delivering your tour, its important to work with the pros. Narration is a key component of delivering a great tour not only do you want great voice(s), you want to get the inflections and tone right. You also want professional recording equipment, with no ambient noise, with crystal clear sound. During our Creative and Branding process, we provide you with several voice talent samples that we think will fit perfectly into your tour. Our pool of male and female voice talents is deep, and were tapping into the greatest resource on the planet New York, New York. We work with only the best and that means youre getting top notch talent always. Additionally, we work with voice talents around the globe to address the unique requirements of a project. This includes Character Actors, Sound Alikes, and of course narrators. Music For Sound We are tapped into the largest music libraries on the planet. If theres a particular style of music youre looking for, we can find it. All of our enhanced audio tours include music because it evokes images and emotional responses. Stories and music are key to captivating peoples imaginations. We understand the power of music. And what it means for your tour experiences. We spend a lot of time editing and mixing to get it just right. Thats why we coined the term cinematic audio tour experiences for sightseeing back in 2006. And since then, weve seen some of our competitors jumping on our jargon and using it which is just fine with us. We find it complementary. Sound Effects Sound effects help us to tell stories. We use sound effects to complete the experience and to enhance it. There is a long history of sound effects in cinema and in television. Can you imagine watching Star Wars without the sound of the lightsaber? Sound effects are used for enhancement or can be created. Used at the right time, theyre vital to the way we tell stories. They can be anything from a creaking door to the sound of a ravens call which can set the tone and the mood for the experience. Were always careful not to overdo it, placing sounds at just the right moment to bring people to different times and places. |
