Chinese-Mandarin voice-over agency
Matinée has been a trusted supplier to the Chinese-Mandarin voice recording and subtitling industry for over thirty years, and our experience is second to none. You can trust us to deliver exactly what you need, and at a price you can afford.
Chinese-Mandarin voice-over production made simple
Matinée Multilingual has been setting the quality standards in the UK’s Chinese-Mandarin voice-over recording industry for over 30 years, from our recording studios in Reading. We offer a comprehensive range of voice-over recording services, and subtitling services in Chinese-Mandarin, and in over 80 other foreign languages.
We have a good selection of the very best Chinese-Mandarin voice-over talent available, and you’ll find our voice costs and studio rates to be less than many other agencies offering exactly the same service. And we’ll make sure the chosen Chinese-Mandarin voice artist gives you the very best rate for the job, and we’ll negotiate down on repeat fees and broadcast rates on your behalf.
We can record wild, or sync to picture, and deliver the audio back via FTP. When required, we can also re-mix your new Chinese-Mandarin voice-over recording with the existing music and effects track, and send you a fully mixed video soundtrack.

Chinese Mandarin voice-over recording – Albion
Case Study
Albion Valves are a UK based manufacturer of valves and pipe fittings. To better explain their services, they contracted Fat Free Media to produce a promotional video that they could use at trade shows, events and online. Although Albion Valves are predominantly focused on the UK Air Conditioning market, they were seeing an increase in demand from overseas, including China.
They also tasked FFM with localising the video into Chinese Mandarin. FFM turned to us for help with translating the scripts and producing the voice-over. We cast Mandarin voice-artist Zhenyu to narrate the video. We recorded the script wild (not timed to video) and delivered the finished audio track to FFM. They adjusted the video to match the Mandarin voice-over. We think the finished video looks great, but could have benefited further by localising the on-screen text / captions as well.

Chinese Mandarin female voice-over – Castrol Lubricants
Case Study
Castrol Lubricants required a female Chinese Mandarin voice-over to dub two promotional videos to be broadcast on their website, and used at international events.
Their creative agency supplied the time-coded scripts and translations. We cast a native Chinese Mandarin female voice artist, recorded time-sync to the videos and then cleaned & edited the Chinese Mandarin audio translations. Finally we mixed the Chinese Mandarin dubbing with the existing soundtrack and laid back to each video.

I use Matinee a lot for subtitling projects
I use Matinee for a lot of subtitling projects and they never fail to meet the deadlines. Great customer service and fast responses. Well done to the entire team.
Jade BurnellThe 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.
