NFDC and Netflix India Collaborate to Train Voice-Over Artists
The government and Netflix India have partnered to create opportunities for voice-over artists, especially women, to enhance their skills and find better opportunities in the media and entertainment sector. The National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and Netflix India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch “The Voicebox,” a program to train voice-over artists in multiple languages including English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Gujarati.
The Voicebox program will offer Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) training through structured workshops featuring guest lectures, mentoring sessions, and assessments. The training will be conducted in seven major cities: New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kochi. Each batch will consist of 30 participants, totaling 210 selected candidates through preliminary screening. At least 50% of the participants in each batch will be women.
Seven top participants from each batch will be chosen to contribute to Netflix’s special project, “Azaadi ki Amrit Kahaniya.” They will lend their voices to narrate stories reflecting the Indian independence movement.
The program is open to professionals with more than two years of experience in the media and entertainment sector who wish to enhance their voice-over skills. Pearl Academy, India’s leading design institute, will join as a Training Partner.
The MoU was signed by NFDC Managing Director Prithul Kumar and Netflix India Senior Director Kiran Desai, in the presence of I&B Secretary Sanjay Jaju and other officials. The program is sponsored by the Netflix Fund for Creative Equity, which aims to support underrepresented communities in the TV and film industries.
