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

Serbian male voice-over for Imperial Tobacco
Case Study
Imperial Tobacco were localising their corporate video in Serbian and 17 other languages.  They asked their translation agency to help with producing the foreign voice-over translations and Matinée Multilingual were selected as their partner to cast and record the voice artists.
To ensure the Serbian voice artist could read the copy within the video time-constraints, we created a reference video and a time-coded script for the translators. This helped the translators to adapt their translations for voice-over use, ensuring a pleasant, natural read. Then we put forward a variety of male voices for selection and all were carefully selected as a good match for the existing English voice.
Once the voices were chosen and the translations complete, we recorded to picture, mixed the Serbian voice over with the soundtrack and encoded the video as MP4.

A short history of the Serbian language
Serbian belongs to the Southern Slavic branch of the Indo-European family of languages. The three main Slavic language groups – Eastern, Western and Southern – developed from the 6th century onwards, with the spread of the Slavic people from Old Poland throughout Eastern Europe.
Serbian is derived from Old Church Slavic, which was spoken by most Slavic people in the 9th to 11th centuries. After this most of the Slavic languages began to differentiate themselves, although Serbian and Croatian did not establish themselves as separate from each other until much later.
The modern Serbian Cyrillic alphabet was devised in 1814, and the standard written form of the language was established in 1850 by a group of Serbian (and Croatian) writers and linguists. This was based on the Shtokavian dialect.
Serbian, Croatian and Montenegrin are largely mutually intelligible languages; they were treated as a single Serbo-Croatian language within the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, each of the successor countries focused on re-establishing their individual languages as a way of promoting their national identity.

Fantastic to work with
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 use Matinee a lot for subtitling projects
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.
Jade BurnellThe 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.
