SIDE Paris will join SIDE London, SIDE Shanghai, and the recently expanded SIDE LA. The company has stated that the Paris studio will prioritize audio localization.

SIDE has provided full dialogue management and voiceover services since 1997. In its 25 years of work, the company has worked on titles such as LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Fortnite, Halo Infinite, Far Cry 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Returnal, and It Takes Two.

Olivier Deslandes, Senior Vice President of Audio and Speech Technology notes, 

“The needs of developers and publishers continue to grow. By opening SIDE Paris, we will be able to take on additional projects—with SIDE Paris acting as a ‘port-of-call’ for French language services, as well as multilingual audio localization services.”

Joining as Head of Studio for SIDE Paris is Maxime Romano, who will also serve as SIDE’s Head of Localization. Regarding the Paris studio, she comments,

“I am enthusiastic about joining the global SIDE team and leading our newest studio in Paris. SIDE Paris will greatly expand our audio localization capacity, serving the increasing demand from the global games industry.”


SIDE Global specializes in casting, directing, voice production, character performances, audio localization, crowd sessions, performance capture, and game audio. The company is part of the PTW family.
