Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Multi-Language Audio Tracks

Step 1: Prepare Your Audio Tracks

First things first, you need to have your audio tracks ready in the languages you want to add. You can record these yourself or use professional services for top quality. Artificial intelligence tools have already learned how to create a voice that is hard to distinguish from a human, while for content that relies heavily on an emotional impact, it is still better to choose actors to voice it. AIR Media-Tech can help you with both services.
