British Voice Over recording – End Water Poverty
Case Study
End Water Poverty is campaigning to end the world’s water and sanitation crisis. We were truly shocked to hear that over 780 million people go without safe drinking water every-day and over 40% of the world’s population do not have access to basic sanitation. This combination means that millions of people die needlessly every year.
It was a privilege to be asked to help cast and record an empathetic female voice for this explainer animation. Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and we hope the small part we played in producing this video has contributed to garnering more support for the campaign.

Working with translation and production companies
Adding audio visual services to your mix will create many new sales opportunities for your team
Matinée has over thirty years of experience working alongside translation and production companies. So you can be sure our project managers are fully at home with the technical process of supervising and delivering localised material, in a professional manner. We can add translation, voiceover and subtitling to your company’s offering, which will appear seamless to your clients and yet mesh easily with the processes in your own departments.
If you are a translation company, we will send you some helpful guidelines when providing us with copy or scripts, and we can either work from your translations or handle the whole project for you, including translation. If you are a production company, we will provide translations or subtitles in your preferred format; whether that’s subtitle-ready files (XML or PNG), or burnt in as fully-subtitled videos. Voiceover recordings can be supplied as edited files, or we can remix with the original music and effects and provide a finished video, ready to go.
Working seamlessly with your team, we can take on all or part of the process, according to your needs, and help widen your service offering.

The team at Matinée are fantastic to work with. They are really communicative, helpful and turned around the work as quickly as possible. I have no complaints at all and we will definitely be getting back in contact when we next need subtitles.

The Big Word
Friendly and efficient service
The speed of response, and friendly, efficient service from all staff was quite exceptional. Matinee particularly stands out by putting the customer’s needs first, even when the job is relatively small and a bit of a technical challenge. I would strongly recommend Matinee for any subtitling work.
