Light Plan
For reasonably priced and short (up to 600 characters) production
Narration/announcement production by i-Pairs Inc. is a studio recording service provided by experienced voice actors/narrators and specialized directors.
For all our narration recordings, regardless of the plan or service, we conduct a thorough pre-check of the script and intonation confirmation before the studio recording with a professional director and engineer. After the recording is completed, we use our unique noise reduction technology powered by our in-house AI for audio post-processing and deliver the final product in the format requested by the customer.
The Light Plan is designed for cases with a smaller script volume, making it an ideal service for those who simply want high-quality audio. The quality of the audio itself is equivalent to our Advanced Plan and IVR Voice Guidance Recording service.
