Catalan voice over services

Comprehension is not the reason to do it. Everyone in the territory understands Spanish, so a Catalan version is about whether your brand addresses the audience in its own language or through a second one — and Catalan-speaking audiences notice both its presence and its absence. For institutional and public-facing content the institution usually settles it; for consumer brands it is a positioning decision. Tell us the situation and we will give you an honest view.

Tell us the territory, because «Catalan» alone is not a complete instruction. Catalonia, the Valencian Community, the Balearics and Andorra differ in vocabulary and in vowel realisation, and Valencian has its own standard-setting body. We confirm the variety and the standard before recording rather than defaulting to Barcelona.

No. Catalan is a distinct Romance language with its own grammar, orthography and vocabulary, and it is actually closer to Occitan than to Castilian Spanish. It is co-official in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearics and the sole official language of Andorra. A Spanish recording will not read as Catalan to a local audience.

It depends on your audience. Central Catalan, spoken around Barcelona, is the most widely used variety and the default for pan-Catalan projects. Valencian has its own institutional standard and is generally expected for content aimed specifically at the Valencian Community, particularly in the public sector. Tell us your target region and we'll cast accordingly.

You can, and it will be understood everywhere. But in Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearics a Catalan version signals that the brand takes the market seriously, and regional public-sector work often requires it outright. Many clients record both and use them in parallel.

Yes, and we cast for the variety your audience speaks — Central Catalan, Valencian or Balearic. Send the brief and we'll record auditions to your script in the one you need.

Common projects include TV and radio commercials, corporate and e-learning video, public information campaigns, museum and audio guide narration, video games, and IVR/phone systems aimed at Catalonia, Valencia, the Balearics and Andorra.

Yes. We handle the full job — translation and script adaptation by native linguists, Catalan voice over, and subtitles or captions — so everything is consistent.

Most short Catalan voice over projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; larger jobs are scheduled with your dedicated project manager.

Yes. Join us in London or dial in on Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams and direct from wherever you are.

We deliver to your specification rather than ours: WAV or MP3, split stems if your mix needs them, and the sample rate, bit depth and LUFS target written into your platform's requirements.

Less than people expect: the script, or the draft of it, its total running time or word count, where the recording will be used, and the date you need it by. If the script is not signed off yet, send the draft anyway — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
