10 years of voice
and sound.
dB PROD·FACTORY was born in Casablanca in 2016, from the experience its founder had gained in Montreal. It began with editing, post-production, and voices recorded in the same room. 10 years later: 4 studios, and one craft, French dubbing and voice work.
Films, series, documentaries, YouTube channels, campaigns: more than 550 hours delivered and over 400 projects, for clients in 9 countries. On each one, adapters, voice actors, voice directors and sound engineers follow the project from the first voice test to delivery.
Where voices come to life.
Three pillars,
one standard.
What our clients get on every project, from the first voice test to delivery.
Broadcast quality
Neumann microphones, Universal Audio interfaces, Genelec monitoring, in closed, treated and soundproofed studios. We mix in stereo, 5.1 or Dolby Atmos, to EBU R128 loudness.
Close to our clients
Our clients come to the studio or follow sessions remotely, wherever they are. One point of contact answers their questions from quote to delivery, and the deadlines we give are the ones we keep.
Tailored casting
More than 150 French-speaking voice actors, aged 15 to 75. For each role, we offer several voices recorded on an excerpt of your program: you choose by ear.
Step by step,
since 2016.
Drawing on experience gained in Montreal, our founder creates dB PROD·FACTORY in Casablanca. The equipment is high-end from day one, but there is no booth yet: editing, post-production and voices share the same room.
On to the Maârif district and a first recording studio. A door that closes, a silence that settles: voice becomes the heart of the craft.
The studio needs room to breathe. Next stop, the Beauséjour district, two minutes from Casablanca Finance City: more space, a control room still open, and more and more projects.
As the pandemic winds down, the studio thinks bigger. Move to 7 avenue du 2 Mars: 4 closed, treated, soundproofed and interconnected studios, a green-screen stage, dedicated production and dispatch servers, a meeting room. Room to keep growing.
Our own rythmo band reaches every studio, and the team of adapters grows: episodes move faster, with the same precision. In editing, new state-of-the-art video stations.
More than 550 hours delivered, over 400 projects. French dubbing and voice work have become our craft, and we build custom voice solutions for our clients: IVR, voice bank, tools.
