Welcome

Brilliant
in tone.

The most modern dubbing technology, the best professional voice actors and the right feel for dramaturgy. We set the right tone, reliably, in every language, genre and format. We are your voice, your author, director and your key to an authentic ambience. With heart and foresight. In Munich in Geiselgasteig.

Who we are

A close-knit team with a love of good sound

Our passion for film, television and now for video on demand has an over 50 year tradition. Once part of Bavaria Film Studios, today we operate our core business: dubbing, under the name Münchner Synchron. We have an informal team in the media city of Geiselgasteig, and we are supported by selected free-lance authors and directors. Also, we have a comprehensive pool of the best professional dubbing artists, experienced actors and well-known voices all across Germany. So the final sound gets under your skin.

How we work

Reliably, precisely and relaxed

For every production, we create a coherent overall concept together with you and selected directors and authors. Whether it be a Swedish crime story, a French comedy, animation and productions for children or the broad diversity of series and sitcoms from the English-speaking world, all voices and sentiments are dubbed true to the original with selected voice actors. This is how we maintain the authenticity of every genre and the linguistic peculiarities that are featured in your production. Our own recording studios in Munich, or optionally in Berlin and Hamburg are always fitted with state-of-the-art equipment. Our security system is above average. And in spite of deadline pressure, our working environment is very relaxed.

What we stand for

Quality with a conscious

The Bavaria Film Studios is the first film studio worldwide to use energy exclusively from renewable sources. We also profit from this. Our premises are heated from geothermal sources of Erdwärme Grünwald, and 100% of our electricity supply is from hydroelectric power. So all of our services are performed in an environmentally conscious manner. Our sustainable work consciously paves the way for the next generation in sound.
