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

Greek translation & voice-over for The European Space Agency
Case Study
The European Space Agency’s video production agency, Rossiter & Co, asked Matinée to localise their latest production into 8 languages: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Czech, Dutch, Swedish and Greek.
In each language version, we first organised the translation of the English script and on-screen captions. Then we recorded the foreign language voice-over with the chosen voice-artist. It was important to match the English voice-over for pace and intonation, so we recorded the foreign voice-over within the time constraints of the English version.

A short history of the Greek language
Greek is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages. It has 34 centuries of documented history – the longest of any of the Indo-European languages. This incredibly long development of the language, leading up to the modern version spoken today, is generally split into six periods:
- Proto-Greek – from the 3rd millennium BC – spoken by early settlers of the Greek peninsula.
- Mycenaean Greek – from the 15th century BC – spoken by the Mycenaean civilisation. Records dating from this time are written on stone tablets using a syllabic script (called Linear B).
- Ancient Greek – from the 9th century BC – used in the Archaic and Classical periods of ancient Greek civilisation, and later throughout the Roman Empire.
- Koine or Hellenistic Greek – from the 3rd century BC – the first common Greek dialect, spread throughout the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Africa by the armies of Alexander the Great.
- Medieval or Byzantine Greek – up to the 15th century AD – a continuation of Koine Greek used throughout the Byzantine Empire.
- Modern Greek – up to present day – a continuation of Medieval Greek. As well as Standard Modern Greek, which is based largely on the Peloponnesian dialect, there are several Greek dialects spoken today.

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.
