The Amharic language can also be known as Amarinya, Abyssinian, Amarigna, belonging to the Semitic language branch of Eastern Africa. Since Amharic is relatively widely spoken across Ethiopia, many people are opting to do voice overs in Amharic in order to make their message reach as many people as possible. However, for an effective and impactful Amharic voice over,a talented voice actor will be required. At Janeson Voice Over Agency, we have both male and female Amharic voice over artists in Addis Ababa, Jima, Awasa, Gonder, Ogaden.

The success of any voice over will be determined by the storyboard created in the form of a script used to visualize the content and bring it to life. A storyboard is effective in communicating voice actors’ approach to the content.
