Dragonfly were producing an animation explainer video about “The Pathway to Self-Directed Support” for their client MECOPP. MECOPP requested an Urdu voice-over translation and as a leading multi-lingual voice-over agency, Dragonfly put their trust in our service. We time-coded the English audio and then translated the voice-over script to Urdu ensuring the translated voice-over matched the animation. We cast Urdu voice artist Neeraj-M and recorded time-sync to picture. Finally we delivered the audio as a wav file ready for Dragonfly to edit into the final video.
As a full-service audio-visual translation company and voice-over agency, Matinée can provide Urdu voice-over script translations, male and female Urdu voice-talent, studio recording and engineering. We can also localise on-screen text and animations or provide Urdu subtitling services.

Which countries have Urdu as a national language?
Urdu is the official language of Pakistan, as well as being one of India’s 22 scheduled languages. It is an official language in five Indian states.
Despite its official status in Pakistan, it is only spoken as a first language by around 8% of the population – for most people their mother tongue is one of the country’s regional languages (eg Punjabi, Pashto) and Urdu is learned as a second or third language. However, it is used as a language of unity and taught in schools throughout the country.
How many people speak Urdu as their first language?
It is estimated that around 100 million people speak Urdu worldwide – around 60-70 million of these as their first language.
Did you know…
The Pakistani economy
Pakistan’s economy is the 27th largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity, and 44th largest in terms of GDP. However, the country’s population is the sixth largest in the world, which means that the GDP per capita is low.
The economy has suffered from internal political disputes, low levels of foreign investment and high inflation. Two-fifths of the population is employed in agriculture. Industries include textiles, chemicals and food processing.
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.
