300+ registered international narrators supporting 16 languages Free Wave represents more than 300 narrators, with experience working on language programs for NHK, international programs for NHK World, TV commercials for large companies, and world-famous games. We can provide narrators of popular commercials, narrators with on-camera (acting) experience, radio presenters, narrators with a very deep voices, or narrators with natural voices. We have narrators specializing in 16 different languages. Each narrator’s profile page has voice samples and a list of suggested genres to make it easier for you to find the narrator you are looking for.

Our managers, who have extensive experience in the narration industry, can get to grips with your themes and stories to find the perfect narrator for your project in a short period of time. A quick proposal and the ability to find a match is what everyone looks for when casting a narrator, and that’s what we are good at. For Free Wave, “last minute” isn’t too late. Please don’t hesitate to ask us even when you are looking for a narrator on the day before your recording or even on the day itself.

Online data delivery service is available.

Professional home-studio recordings: Narrations and voiceovers are available for websites, YouTube videos, PowerPoint presentations, study supplements, research purposes, and more. Final data is delivered via email attachment or through a file transfer service.

Pricing: Studio Rental Fee + Editing Fee (if needed) + Narrator Fee + Director Fee (when hiring an external supervisor)

Free Wave has many translators specializing in multiple languages. By arranging both a narrator and a translator at the same agency, we assure you a smoother experience moving forward with the project. If you are looking for proofreaders, we are happy to provide you with one.

Examples of Past Work

We have on-site interpreters on our books to work on-set for various productions like TV commercials, auditions, or as a dialogue coach.
