Voice-over agency fees that won't smash your budget
We keep our voice-over fees to a minimum. You will definitely find our costs lower compared to most other voice-over agents. Put simply, we have positioned our voice-over rate card at the competitive end of the market, but without any compromise on quality. We also offer a simple, quick-quote service to give you a costing for your project within just one hour.
We’re the voice-over agency that will always try to help out and solve the challenges you encounter. So if your budget doesn’t stretch to the voice artist you’ve chosen, we’ll make a recommendation for an alternative talent, prepared to work at the rate you can afford.

If you sell or provide a service globally, then you should have your website in the languages of your foreign customers.
If a person can read a website in their own language, they are more likely to revisit it in the future and trust what they are reading. Localized web sites that recognise the differences between cultures will be much more successful than websites who only offer English voice and text.
Remember, what is acceptable in this country, may not go down so well somewhere abroad. If you have a picture, or a video of a woman driving a sports car, it won’t be acceptable in somewhere like Saudi Arabia, where women don’t drive. Chinese audiences relate the colour white with death, so advertising crisp white linen won’t go down well, changed to another colour and you have your target audience interested.
If your foreign visitors are able to see their own language on your website, it will garner trust and loyalty. They will be more likely to recommend you to family and friends and you will increase your reach.
A foreign voice-over isn’t difficult to source and you don’t need to look outside the UK. Matinee Multilingual have a wide range of voice-overs, at a competitive price. Our service caters for more than 80 different languages. You can get in touch with us using the Quick Quote form or using the Live Chat feature below.

Check out our FAQ’s for more information about our subtitling and captioning services.

Multilingual lip-sync voice-over recordings – Disney Interactive
Case Study
Disney Interactive required a multilingual lip-sync voice-over mix in 11 languages for an event promo. Disney’s aim was to demonstrate the range of languages they publish in, as well as the talents of the voice actors used.
Disney Interactive supplied audio from a 48 second clip of their movie – Monsters University, in all 11 languages. Matinée mixed the foreign audio translations of characters James P Sullivan and Mike Wazowski to create one soundtrack with all languages. The final mix was laid back to video and encoded as a high quality QuickTime .MOV file.
Italian lip-sync voice-over recording for E-learning program
Case Study
Matinée were selected to provide Italian lip-sync dubbing services for a series of corporate safety training videos. We first adapted the supplied scripts for lip-sync recording, which involves not only making the script shorter, but also making it better match the lip movements of the actors. We cast a male and female Italian voice artist that sounded similar to the American actors. Recorded time-sync to picture, then mixed and mastered the audio.
We were also required to encode the videos in both FLV and MP4 format, matching the clients strict specifications for file size and bit-rate to ensure it worked flawlessly in their eLearning platform.

French subtitles – why use them on corporate videos?
Video is highly effective for storytelling, exposure and advertising and is more in demand by consumers than ever before. You can make your videos more effective by adding professional subtitling, including in French, which is spoken by 64 million people worldwide.

The power of animated explainer videos to capture audience’s attention
Simple slideshow explainers can be an effective way to convey information to your audience, but they can lack any real personality. Using animation for your explainer videos is a much more effective option if you want to capture your audience’s attention.

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.
