Croatian voice-over production made simple
Matinée Multilingual has been setting the quality standards in the UK’s Croatian 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 Croatian, and in over 80 other foreign languages.
We have a good selection of the very best Croatian 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 Croatian 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 Croatian voice-over recording with the existing music and effects track, and send you a fully mixed video soundtrack.

A short history of the Croatian language
Written Croatian can be traced back to the 12th century (possibly even back to the 9th century), but it wasn’t until the 19th century that a standardised version – using a Latin script – emerged. This was based on the Shtokavian dialect – also common to Serbian and Bosnian.
With the establishment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia after the Second World War, there was a political movement to bring the three mutually intelligible languages together as one. This was called Serbo-Croatian.
After the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, each of the successor countries focused on re-establishing their individual languages as a way of promoting national identity. In Croatia this has involved setting up regulatory bodies to oversee the independent development of the language.
Croatian is the official language of the Republic of Croatia, and one of three official languages of Bosnia-Herzegovina (along with Bosnian and Serbian).
Croatian is also recognised as an official minority language in Montenegro as well as the regions of Burgenland in Austria, Molise in Italy, Baranya County in Hungary and Vojvodina in Serbia. It has co-official status in the Romanian communes of Carasova and Lupac.
Croatian is one of the official languages of the European Union.
How many people speak Croatian as their first language?
It is estimated that around six million people Croatian as their first language.
Did you know…
- There are three main Croatian dialects – Cakavian (spoken mostly along the coast and on the Adriatic islands), Kajkavian (spoken in the north of the country) and Shtokavian (spoken in the rest of the country).
- Croatian is very similar to Bosnian and Serbian in its spoken form – they are mutually intelligible and more similar than American, Australian and British English. There are differences in their written forms, however – Serbian uses a Cyrillic script, Croatian uses a Latin script, and Bosnian uses both.
- It is widely believed that the term ‘Serbo-Croatian’ was first used in 1824 by Jacob Grimm, German dictionary maker and folklorist (one of the Brothers Grimm).
Croatia’s service-based economy was badly hit first by the 1991-95 war, then by the 2008 global economic downturn. Issues affecting the economy today include high foreign debt, high unemployment and over-reliance on tourism.
The service sector accounts for 70% of GDP, the industrial sector accounts for 25% of GDP, and agriculture/forestry/fishing accounts for the final 5%. Around 42% of the population lives in rural areas and around 14% of the country’s labour force is employed in agriculture.
Croatia joined NATO in 2009 and the European Union in 2013.

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.
