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

Slovenian video translation for Microsoft Skydrive promo
Case Study
Microsoft required audio-visual translations of their Skydrive promo video in 38 languages, including an Slovenian version. And because Matinée are both a voice-over agency and captioning company, Microsoft’s translation partner – Lionbridge, selected Matinée to handle all aspects of the video translation work.
First we undertook a review of the Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro video files, to work out the best approach for the Slovenian video translation work. Then we produced an audio transcription, to include both a time-coded voice-over script, and the on-screen captions. Lionbridge produced all the translations and DTP work. We cast and recorded one native Slovenian voice-over artist, taking care to match the existing time-constraints as closely as possible.
Our engineers integrated the translations, graphics and Slovenian voice-over into the supplied source files, adjusting the animations to match the new Estonian voice-over track. The final Slovenian version video was encoded as an H264 MP4, ready for publishing on Microsoft’s portal.

A short history of the Slovenian language
Slovenian (Slovene) belongs to the western group of the South Slavic branch of the Indo-European family of languages, along with Serbo-Croatian. It is largely mutually intelligible with the Kajkavian dialect of Serbo-Croatian, and shares linguistic characteristics with other South Slavic (as well as West Slavic) languages.
As with all Slavic languages, Slovenian evolved from Old Church Slavonic. The earliest written records of a distinct Slovenian language are the Freising Manuscripts, which date back to around 1000 AD. The first Slovenian translation of the bible appeared in 1584.
Standard Slovenian developed from central dialects from the 18th century onwards. Up until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, however, it was only the language of the common people in present-day Slovenia; the elite spoke German.
Slovenian was one of the official languages of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Since Slovenia gained independence in 1991, Slovenian has been official throughout all areas of public life.

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.
