Matinée Multilingual is a long established foreign voice-over agency based just outside London. We provide a high quality foreign voice-casting, and recording service, offering a selection of the world’s best professional foreign voice acting talent, at affordable prices that won’t blow your budget.
We supply and record foreign voice artists for documentary, advertising, corporate video, eLearning courses and IVR telephone prompts. We can time-sync the foreign voice-over to picture, and deliver the audio back to you in any file format you require.
Our project management team offer outstanding service quality, and our talent management team will help you source exactly the right Foreign voice for your needs, and at a price that won’t blow your budget.
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.

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.
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.

Brian and Philippe…love them!! What a great call to brighten up my day! They were so professional and so funny and I could tell the client was really happy 😊
Philippe is definitely the best VO artist I’ve heard since being at Sponge! Just wow!
Pleasure to work with these guys. Hugh and the team couldn’t do enough to help and keep us informed throughout our customer journey. Highly recommended!
We’ve used Matinée for several projects, from video editing to translations of marketing materials, and they’re always a great pleasure to work with. Any requests are answered right away. We’ve had tight deadlines, but we’ve never worried as the team at Matinée delivers great work, right on time.
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.
I’ve worked with Matinee for well over 20 years, and continue to go back to them because of trust; a trust in their commitment to fulfilling the needs of my project, and a trust in the quality of their work.
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.
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.
A fantastic company to work with. Fast email responses, rapid delivery of audio files, and all with positive and warm personalities shining through! Thank you Matinée for a wonderful customer experience.
Very pleased with a number of projects completed by Matinée. They are always well organised, providing clear expectations, organisation, efficiency and always deliver a quality product on time. Recommended.
I have to mention the quick response of Sally and Nicole to my last minute request. They both understood the urgency of my need, and helped me complete the recording to hit my deadline.
