About the language
What to look for in Estonian voice over artists
Estonia punches far above its size digitally — e-government, fintech and software are everyday life here — so much Estonian demand is product and app content that has to be crystal clear and trustworthy.
We produce Estonian for software and SaaS, fintech, public services and eLearning, with native talent handling the language's three sound-lengths, and a Russian version available for the sizeable minority audience.
Estonian is not a Baltic language. It sits with Finnish, in a family that has nothing to do with Latvian or Lithuanian, and treating the three Baltic states as one casting decision produces a recording that is simply in the wrong language. Estonian also distinguishes three degrees of vowel and consonant length where most languages manage two, and that third degree changes meaning, so it is not something a careful non-native gets right by slowing down. Much of the work here is digital-government and fintech content, where terminology has to match what the state already publishes. Send us the script and we will match it.
Let us see the material before you decide anything. Nothing to pay for the review. You get the notes, the price itemised, and time to think about both. And a free casting — the Estonian voices we would actually recommend, reading the script you plan to use. Request an Estonian voice over quote, or start with a question and we will start with an answer.

Getting Estonian right
What to decide before recording an Estonian voice over
Estonian is a Finno-Ugric language in one of the world's most digital societies, with features that reward native precision.
Related to Finnish, not its neighbours
Estonian is Finno-Ugric — closer to Finnish than to Latvian or Russian — so native Estonian talent is essential for the ~1.1 million-strong market (ERR).
Three degrees of length
Estonian distinguishes short, long and overlong sounds, which can change meaning; native delivery handles this naturally.
A digital-first audience
Estonia is famously e-government and tech-forward, so much demand is software, fintech and public-service content — clear, trustworthy native reads suit it.
Consider the Russian-speaking minority
Around a quarter of Estonia's population speaks Russian at home, so a good deal of public-facing work runs in both languages. We record the pair together.

Most common questions
How do I hire Estonian voice actors?
Send the script and say who it is for — Estonian speakers only, or Estonia as a whole. That answer changes the shortlist and sometimes the number of recordings. From there we cast, record, edit and deliver, with the quote itemised and free and our Price Match Promise behind it.
Do you produce Estonian for software and fintech content?
Yes — much Estonian demand is digital, and we cast native voices suited to clear, trustworthy product and app content. Send your script and we'll quote it.
Can Estonian be covered by a Latvian or Lithuanian read?
No, and Estonia is the clearest case of the three. Estonian belongs to the Finno-Ugric family alongside Finnish, with no relationship at all to Latvian or Lithuanian — those two are Baltic languages, related to each other and still not mutually intelligible. Treating the region as one market produces a recording in the wrong language for two of the three countries. We cover all three and keep the terminology aligned.
Is Estonian similar to Finnish?
They are related and share a good deal of structure and vocabulary, and Estonians often follow some Finnish. But they are separate languages with substantial differences in pronunciation and everyday words, and Finnish speakers generally find Estonian harder than the reverse. A Finnish voice is not a substitute for an Estonian one.
Should I record in Estonian or Russian for Estonia?
That depends on who you are trying to reach. Roughly a quarter of the population speaks Russian at home, concentrated in Tallinn and around Narva in the north-east, where the proportion is far higher. Public-sector and regulated content has to be in Estonian; commercial campaigns aiming at the whole country usually record both. Tell us the audience and we will tell you whether one version is enough.
Do you have native Estonian voice actors?
Yes, native Estonian voices — not Latvian or Lithuanian, which is a different language family altogether. Send us the brief and we'll record auditions on your own copy.
What do you use Estonian voice over for?
Common projects include TV and radio commercials, technology and digital-government content, fintech material, corporate video, e-learning, EU institutional work, games, and the voice interfaces that a country this far into digital government puts in front of citizens.
Can you also translate and subtitle into Estonian?
Yes. Bear in mind Estonian is Finno-Ugric, closer to Finnish than to either of its Baltic neighbours, and it has fourteen cases and three distinct degrees of vowel length that change meaning. Neither a Latvian nor a Lithuanian linguist can check it, and machine output tends to flatten exactly those distinctions.
How quickly can we have the files?
Reckon on a working day or two for a short piece. Longer jobs are scheduled around the actor's availability in Tallinn, and we fix the delivery date before recording.
Can I direct the Estonian session remotely?
Yes — in person in London, or on Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams with the same control over the read.
Can you deliver to our platform's audio specification?
Whatever your spec sheet says — WAV, MP3, AIFF, stems or a single mix, at the sample rate and loudness target you have written down.
What do you need from us to quote Estonian voice over?
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.
How quickly will we hear back, and who will we be dealing with?
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.
We are still pitching and the budget is not signed off. Can we still get an Estonian quote?
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.
