The VoiceQ Story

Our suite of award winning products originate from New Zealand, the filmmaking hub of the South Pacific where films like The Lord of The Rings trilogy, The Last Samurai, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, King Kong have been made. VoiceQ has a reputation for excellence and has been used on many films including Valkyrie, Letters From Iwo Jima, Australia, and State Of Play to name just a few. VoiceQ® is currently in use on major international projects being shot in New Zealand for Disney and many other production companies.

Our need to offer the highest quality and most cost effective programming led us to create these innovative translation and cueing systems. KIWA takes pride in building products and services that simplify previously complex processes, reducing cost and time in all facets of production while lifting quality. As a result VoiceQ received the Special Recognition in Engineering Excellence at the Hollywood Post Alliance Awards as voted by it’s members and industry professionals in the Alliance.

Kiwa is the largest dubbing company in Aoteroa, localising international content into the indigenous languages of the pacific for local broadcast.VoiceQ started development as an in-house tool over 10 years ago, and is now a fully professional software application in use in over 20 countries around the world. VoiceQ has received awards for technical innovation and IT advances and is fast becoming the industry standard in ADR and Dubbing.

VoiceQ Advantages

For the Director
By recording every voice in each scene in just one or two takes your actors will be fresher, the quality of their output will be higher and you will be getting through much more work for much less stress than you have managed previously. When the script doesn't fit or the adaptation isn't quite right VoiceQ will allow you to put your improvements directly into the script and overlay them on the screen in a matter of seconds. Your crew isn’t sitting around bored and your studio time isn't wasted.

For the Producer
VoiceQ will give you a superior sounding final product. Time will be saved in expensive post-production studios due to an accurate and flexible system. Your Dubbing requirements will be completed on time and under budget. Reporting functions have been specifically designed to make your life easier.

For the Engineer
Greater accuracy from the talent means less time spent synchronizing the sound. Using VoiceQ for cueing you will be reducing your editing time dramatically.

For the Voice Talent
Forget the three pips and reading from a paper script. Individualized, colour-coded streaming dialogue across the screen allows actors to perform whole scenes without stopping. It is so much easier to give quality dramatic interpretation when you don't have to worry about sync, and so much simpler to get your timing perfect when you can see the actor's lips and the script all on the screen together. VoiceQ provides an abundance of other cueing options to suit every Voice Talent, including Beeps, Streamers and Visual Countdowns.
