Urdu voice over for MECOPP intro video
Case Study
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.

A short history of the Urdu language
Urdu belongs to the Indo-Aryan sub-group of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European family of languages.
Modern Standard Urdu is the standardised version of Hindustani used in Pakistan – Modern Standard Hindi is the standardised version of the Hindustani language used in India. Urdu and Hindi were created when Pakistan and India became separate nations, but the spoken versions of the two languages are essentially Hindustani and remain almost indistinguishable.
Hindustani originally derives from Sanskrit, but its main developmental period was during the Mughul Empire (1526-1857), when it came under the influence of the official Persian court language. The prevailing dialect from this time was Khari Boli, used in and around Delhi, the Empire’s capital.
Modern Hindustani (based on Khari Boli) was made an official language of India by the British Raj in 1837, along with English – replacing Persian.

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.
