Voice Actor Agency

Matinée has been a trusted supplier to the voice recording and subtitling industry for over thirty years, and our experience is second to none. Over this time we have built a huge talent database of tried and tested voice actors from the UK and almost every other country around the world. You can trust us to deliver exactly what you need, and at a price you can afford.

Huge selection of talented voice actors at sensible prices

Matinée Multilingual is a thriving voice acting agency, offering access to many of the best voice professionals around. But unlike many other agencies specialising in voice actors, we also have two recording studios and two video production suites, which means we offer a complete voice production, subtitling and localisation service from our offices in Reading, just 35 miles from London.
We’ve been recording from our studios in Reading for over 30 years, and in that time we’ve learnt a thing or two. We have two Pro-Tools equipped recording studios, built to BBC specification. All our recordings are delivered with a clarity and warmth that you expect from a top recording studio.

Rates that won’t smash your budget

We maintain our fees at the lower end of the market, by keeping our costs lower and negotiating better rates from the talent themselves. So you will find we offer better value than other agencies. But we don’t compromise on quality – we simply don’t offer superfluous glitz and glitter like many others. And our quick-quote solution means we can send you a voice quote for your project within one hour.

And we’ll always try to help if your budget doesn’t stretch to the voice talent you have selected. We’ll search our roster and find you similar voice artists, offering a more flexible approach to recording rates.

Working with translation and production companies

Adding audio visual services to your mix will create many new sales opportunities for your team

Matinée has over thirty years of experience working alongside translation and production companies. So you can be sure our project managers are fully at home with the technical process of supervising and delivering localised material, in a professional manner. We can add translation, voiceover and subtitling to your company’s offering, which will appear seamless to your clients and yet mesh easily with the processes in your own departments.

If you are a translation company, we will send you some helpful guidelines when providing us with copy or scripts, and we can either work from your translations or handle the whole project for you, including translation. If you are a production company, we will provide translations or subtitles in your preferred format; whether that’s subtitle-ready files (XML or PNG), or burnt in as fully-subtitled videos. Voiceover recordings can be supplied as edited files, or we can remix with the original music and effects and provide a finished video, ready to go.

Working seamlessly with your team, we can take on all or part of the process, according to your needs, and help widen your service offering.

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.

The 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.
