Then you need to throw in a voice director cost and studio rentals.A quick search puts studio rentals at about $200 per hour.
That gives you the raw takes where editing and mixing, if you want it done professionally,can add even more to the cost.
Going through a local studio, who've done this before, would probably be able to give a nice quote and do most of the leg work for you (finding all the voice actors for example) and a better idea on cost than asking a company who can do some of the leg work internally.
At least that's how it goes for animation series of up to 24 episodes hereabouts.
Imagine that the scripts are fully completed and the director knows already the feel of the acting he desires. It is conveyor belt voice acting from there on. 5-10 takes per line and off to the next bit.
We didnt go into cost however, but will give you a decent idea in what's involved.
As I said. Best bet is to take the scripts to a local studio and get a quote on what it'd cost to dub.
Obviously, if you want a big name you have to pay more.
Must be very, very tiresome not to have anything said in your own language.
Perhaps not all the dialog, but at least some of the repeated action lines (not sure what you would call them). It really does help with getting the characterisation for RP purposes,
Generally, no localised VO is considered preferable to bad localised VO.
