Our Services
Karakter Sound is a full-service audio post-production facility, equipped with a 10 x 7 x 4 meter cinema room for Dolby Atmos mixing, several additional mixing studios, an ADR/voice-over suite, and a foley studio. We cover all kinds of services from audio conform all the way to re-recording mix and everything in between.
Sound design
Sound design revolves around creating an auditory world that brings a film, game, or production to life. It's not just about recording sound, but also about constructing it in a way that amplifies emotion or tension.
Foley
Our Foley artists recreate everyday sounds in the studio, perfectly complementing the visuals. Think of sounds like footsteps, rustling clothes, or breaking glass.
ADR & Voice-over
Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) is the re-recording of dialogue in a studio. This is done to improve the dialogue technically or content-wise, and may be necessary when, for example, ambient noise overpowers the original recording.
Re-recording mixing
During the sound mix, all elements come together and are combined into a well-balanced mix.
It's not just about volume, but also about dynamics, space and rhythm, so that every sound finds its rightful place within the total listening experience.
Sound Effects editing
Karakter Sound's sound effects editors build layers of sound effects from our extensive local and online sound libraries to create a unique and immersive soundscape.
Dialogue Editing
Dialogue editing involves refining and compositing spoken text so that conversations sound natural and fluid. All unwanted noise is removed, leaving the focus entirely on the actors and their performances.
Audio description
We offer AD services that are compatible with the Earcatch and Subcatch apps (used in the Netherlands). We write the AD script, cast and record the voiceovers, and deliver them to the AD platform.
