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

Flemish voice-over for BAC
Case Study
Baltimore Aircoil Company develops heat transfer solutions, and is recognised as the world’s largest manufacturer of evaporative heat rejection and thermal storage equipment.
This corporate video required full localisation into seven languages including all the graphics and audio. Flemish (Belgian Dutch) was an important market, and they wanted a mature male Flemish voice artist to convey quality and professionalism.
We cast Lode for the role, and before we could record we had to create a time-coded script for the translation agency. We also had to request the sound-track as a separate audio file, so that we could mix and master Lode’s voice-over in post production.
After the recording was complete we integrated this into the video source files and translated all the on-screen text & captions in After Effects. The final video was delivered in both MP4 and WMV formats. The client was delighted with the results and we’ve produced many more projects for them.

A short history of the Flemish language
Flemish, sometimes referred to as Belgian Dutch, is the variant of Standard Dutch spoken in the northern part of Belgium known as Flanders. While some people contest that they are separate languages, they are generally classified as being the same. The difference between the two variants is sometimes compared to the difference between British and American English.
Modern Dutch is derived from Old Dutch, a West Germanic language spoken (in various dialects) from around the 6th to the 12th centuries throughout the Low Countries. In the early 16th century the Low Countries were governed by the Hapsburg Empire, but by the second half of the century the Netherlands had gained independence. This separation heightened the differences in Dutch dialects that already existed throughout the region.
Belgium became an independent country in 1830, having inherited a variety of languages used by its foreign occupants, including France and Austria. Dutch – or Flemish – continued to be the dominant language in Flanders, and today there are still many variants including East Flemish, West Flemish, Brabantian and Limburgish.

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.
