Voices helps Atomic Productions source foreign language voice over talent.
Baby Step Case Study
Babystep.tv is able to maintain a high speed of video production while working across different time zones.
Overview
Becoming a parent raises so many questions! Every parent wants to be sure they are being the best mum or dad, and seek out advice wherever they can. This is where babystep.tv comes in. Guiding parents, step-by-step, from their child’s birth until their first birthday, these videos answer not just caregivers’ questions, but raise issues many may never have thought about.
babystep.tv’s service provides high-quality video tutorials based on research available in a variety of languages on platforms including their own mobile app. Each 1-minute video provides a clear and practical tip.
Before Voices
Finding great voice-over talent is essential to the success of babystep.tv’s video content. The company’s platform provides advice for parents about child development, and so the voice must be authoritative and at the same time speak as one parent to another.
The talent needed to meet a list of requirements beyond the obvious need for an attractive rendition of the script. For example, the talent had to fit within strict time limits, as a single minute video for the platform usually had at least three time stamps. Moreover, babystep.tv did not have all the resources in-house to check the quality of every single video in each language. “Managing the project and keeping quality high required increasingly higher budgets and investments of our time,” Ivan says. “We thus began to seek a reliable partner who could ensure top quality results.”
Solution
Upon signing up with Voices and posting their first job, babystep.tv was paired with their own set of Project Managers to serve as an extension of their team. “These people worked hard to understand our needs and requirements. Accommodating our need to work across different time zones, they provided us with 24/7 support and responded quickly to new requests.” The Voices Project Managers used Voices’s established base of voice talent to provide the best custom auditions available and quality-checked each completed babystep.tv video ensuring all requirements were always met. The result has been that voice-overs for thousands of videos in 13 languages are on time, on budget, and generating great feedback.
Top Outcomes
- Reduced time on internal management
- Decreased overall project costs
- Professional support for each audio file in 13 languages
- Quick and efficient selection of the best talent
- Successful realization of babystep.tv’s needs
Thanks to Voices, babystep.tv received up to 91 voice-overs a day in 13 languages. We provided Ivan and his team with 3 talent per language, meaning at least 39 voice talent involved in the project at any one time. babystep.tv is planning to increase their production levels and aims to produce 10 to 15 videos a day per language, needing 130 to 195 voice-overs a day for their various videos.
