As OOM’s 2016 most influential person, Anja Ringgren Loven’s work helps the children of Nigeria affected by accusations of witchcraft- accusations which largely result in the torture and killing of the child.

Case
Inspired by the story of Almaz Mengesha, a double-leg amputee triathlete competing to bring awareness to the DinNødhjælp cause, ICHI collaborated to create a powerful campaign entitled “Follow your heart”. With ICHI having created powerful videos detailing her story and inspiration in Danish, Voicearchive was asked to help build out an emotionally rich multilingual voice over experience for the video in 5 additional languages.
After watching the videos, it was obvious the most important aspect was the voice of Almaz Mengesha. Her authenticity was inspiring and effectively selecting a skilled voice over talent which embodied that was critical to the project.
Following successful voice selections, we created time-codes for the translation to ensure that despite word length and pronunciation variation, a seamless and professional, multilingual voice over was created for each of the 5 additional languages.
“We teamed up with Voicearchive for a project that required us to translate a film into 5 different languages. The challenge was to get the speech in multiple languages without losing the length on the sentences. We were given a wide range of professional narration voices and the general skill level was really high.”
“Voicearchive were professional and lived up to our expectations with fast delivery and transparent workflow. We were very happy with the co-operation!”
Result
In completing this powerful project, we were inspired by the collaboration between ICHI and DinNødhjælp. Not only were the emotions of the original video communicated effectively, but the close cooperation ensured a smooth and efficient voice over process that everyone was happy with.
