Swedish voice-over agency
Matinée has been a trusted supplier to the Swedish 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.
Swedish voice-over production made simple
Matinée Multilingual has been setting the quality standards in the UK’s Swedish 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 Swedish, and in over 80 other foreign languages.
We have a good selection of the very best Swedish 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 Swedish 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.
Our Swedish voice artists are talented and experienced in a whole range of different voiceover projects, from ads, to corporate narration, to character voices. Whatever the type of voice you need, we’ll be sure to help you find it from our selection of Swedish voice talent.
We can record wild, or sync to picture, and deliver the audio back via FTP. When required, we can also re-mix your new Swedish voice-over recording with the existing music and effects track, and send you a fully mixed video soundtrack.

Swedish voice-over service for SSP Connections promo
Case Study
SSP connections required a Swedish video translation company to help localise their promotional video.
As a full-service audio-visual translation company, Matinée were chosen because we could offer both Swedish voice-over services and a Swedish translation of the captions. Other voice-over agencies couldn’t offer the video translation element and the client was delighted they could get everything produced with one company. Matinée’s in-house Swedish voice-over agency cast the female voice artist and produced the recordings. The translated voice-over was then integrated into the video source files and the captions were localised. The final Swedish video was encoded as a .mov file.
We also delivered video translation and voice-over services for this project in 12 other languages, including: Cantonese, Mandarin, French, German, Norwegian, Spanish, Dutch, Thai, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian & Russian. These videos are now viewed worldwide in over 55 international markets.

A short history of the Swedish language
Swedish belongs to the East Scandinavian branch of the North Germanic family of languages. Along with other Scandinavian languages, it derives from Old Norse, which was spoken by the Germanic people who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking era.
Swedish and Danish derive from the East Norse dialect group, while Norwegian, Icelandic and Faroese derive from West Norse. Today, spoken Swedish is essentially mutually intelligible with Norwegian and Danish. These three languages are categorised as Mainland Scandinavian, while Icelandic and Faroese are classified as Insular Scandinavian.
Until the 12th century Swedish and Danish were roughly the same dialect, using the runic alphabet. In Sweden, Old East Norse is called Runic Swedish, while in Denmark it’s called Runic Danish.
Notable events in the development of the Swedish language include the establishment of the printing press in Sweden in 1484, the first print of the Swedish Bible in 1526, and the founding of the Swedish Academy in 1786. The standard language began to emerge from Central Swedish dialects towards the end of the 19th century – this period of development is called nusvenska (‘New Swedish’).

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.
