Voice Over, Subtitling, Translation, Transcription

The cost for a voice over recording varies depending on the language and the voice talent. For example, English language voice overs are simpler to source than rarer, more complex languages such as Swahili or Faroese, a language spoken in the Faroe Islands.

When you choose to work with Matinée Multilingual, a 1-hour studio recording with a professional voice talent starts from £380. Every recording includes an experienced sound engineer who manages the audio and directs the voice artist when needed.

This is dependent on the length of the script and the availability of the selected voice artist.

In a one-hour WILD recording session (not to picture), we can record up to 1,500 words of voice over. When recording to picture, we can record up to 10 minutes of video in a one-hour session.

Usually we can turn-around urgent projects in just 24 hours. Most projects will require two to three days to schedule, record and edit, depending on the size of the project, and the number of languages.

Voice over, dubbing and subtitling are three distinct methods of delivering audio or visual content to audiences in different languages or formats, and choosing the right one depends on your type of project, budget and audience.

Voice over is a production technique where a narrator or speaker is recorded over the original audio. It is widely used in corporate videos, documentaries, eLearning, training content and marketing videos.

Dubbing replaces the original spoken audio entirely with a new recording in the target language, carefully lip-synced to match the on-screen speaker. It is most commonly used in film, television and long-form video content where a fully immersive viewing experience is required.

Subtitling plays the translated or transcribed dialogue as on-screen text, leaving the original audio intact. It is a popular choice for streaming content, social media video and any situation where preserving the original speaker’s voice is important.
