The professional voice-over service process includes determining the needs, choosing the right voice-over agency or artist, text preparation, recording and voiceover, editing and editing, quality control, and finally delivery and usage time. Good communication and cooperation in this process is essential to achieve a successful outcome. Professional voice-over service ensures that the text is voiced as desired through quality sound recordings and professional voice-over artists. As a result, high-quality sound recordings are obtained and projects are ensured to reach the target audience effectively.

The better the communication with the project owner and the clearer the wishes are explained, the more successful works will emerge. In this respect, the following three stages stand out from the rest:

• Briefing process: In this process, they inform the agency about their brand, product or service from the customer and explain their goals. After the parts to be emphasized are determined thoroughly, the broadcasting channels are discussed and the channels are decided.
• Voiceover text writing process: Advertising text is written for the brand, product or service in line with the brief received. The language of expression to be used together with the medium to be published in this writing phase is also extremely important. The voice-over text is written considering the characters or voice-over to speak in the script.
• Voiceover process: Immediately after the voiceover text is written, the voice-over process is started by selecting the voice-over program within the voice-over program. In the voice-over stage, the text that is voiced in accordance with the directives of the voice-over director is made ready for broadcast by making sound design. After the voice-over process is over, it is important in which media and in which format the advertisement or promotion will be broadcast, such as television, radio, and the internet. The sound technician has to deliver the voiceover in the format requested by the media.

Our voice-over program, which we apply to those who apply to our agency in order to make special voice-overs for those who believe that they have a good voice tone and whose voice is interesting and charismatic by everyone, consists of the following stages;

Technical analysis of sound: For those who apply to our agency to be a voice-over, they are first subjected to a short interview with the voice-over director. If the voice director deems it necessary, he wants to make a technical analysis of the voice of the voice actor candidate. This means: your voice has a talent for voice acting. If the voiceover director does not need technical analysis, sorry you are not with us.

Demo Voice Over: Candidates who have a talent for voice acting and dubbing are taught advertisements, promotional films and central voiceover samples. Records are made for display later. As a result of the prepared recordings, if deemed necessary, they are included in the vocalization bank. The savings on this issue are entirely in the voice-over agencies.
