Moana 2

Can I get a "chee-hoo” in 45 languages?

Moana 2, the most recent SoS transcription project, has released in theaters. As with the first film in 2016, Symbols of Sound worked with Disney Character Voices International to transcribe the vocal performances and create sheet music for localization of the film into 45 languages.

Along with the common slate of languages, Moana 2 is dubbed into both Māori and, soon, Hawaiian. The Māori version is being released in New Zealand simultaneously with the English version. The Hawaiian version, to be dubbed later, is planned to feature Auliʻi Cravalho, who plays Moana in the English version.

SoS Turns Inside Out Again

Music transcription for Inside Out 2

After nearly a decade, “Inside Out” characters Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, are joined by Anxiety and others in “Inside Out 2”. Once again, SoS joined the team by transcribing audio to sheet music for localization, allowing Riley’s jumble of teen emotions to be expressed worldwide. “Inside Out 2” is in theaters June 14.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

Musical vocal transcription for 20th Century Studios

Symbols of Sound’s latest feature film project is “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”. This was another vocal transcription project for foreign dubbing. SoS transcribed the vocal musical performances from the film, and created sheet music for dubbing of the non-English versions of the film.

To avoid giving anything away, we won’t say what vocals are in the film. Nonetheless, we can say it provided some “hairy” challenges for the sharp musical ears at SoS.
