Persian and Farsi voice over artists

They are varieties of the same language and speakers follow one another, but an Iranian Persian voice reading for an Afghan audience is heard as foreign — the vocabulary, the pronunciation of everyday words and the formal register all differ. For anything customer-facing we cast separately. Tell us which audience you are addressing and we will price it properly.

It depends on what the recording is for, and it is worth deciding before we record rather than after. Formal written Persian is what your script will arrive in and is right for institutional and educational work. Everyday Tehrani speech contracts heavily and is what advertising and social content need. The two look different on the page, so it is a script decision as much as a delivery one.

Mostly because of the ezâfe, the linking vowel that Persian does not write down. A reader has to know from context where it belongs, and getting it wrong changes the meaning of a phrase rather than just its sound. It is the single most common tell of a non-native read, and it is not something care or preparation solves.

Send the script, tell us when you need it and point at a reference read, and we will shortlist native Farsi (Persian) voice actors with demos to choose from. With your approval we record, edit and deliver to broadcast standard. The Persian quote is free and itemised and comes with the Price Match Promise.

It depends on the market, and they aren't interchangeable, so we confirm the variety before casting. Iranian Persian (Farsi) is what this page covers; for content aimed at Afghanistan we run a separate Dari Persian voice over service with its own native actors. Tell us the country you are targeting and we'll quote the correct read.

Farsi is simply the name used in Iran for the Persian language, and the two terms are used interchangeably in English. Persian is the umbrella term: it is a pluricentric language with three national standards — Farsi in Iran, Dari in Afghanistan and Tajik in Tajikistan, the last written in Cyrillic. We record the first two; ask for either by name and we will know what you mean.

Farsi for Iran, Dari for Afghanistan. The two are closely related varieties of Persian and a speaker of one follows the other, but Dari carries its own pronunciation and vocabulary and an Afghan audience hears the difference straight away. If your project targets Afghanistan, use our dedicated Dari Persian voice over service rather than this one.

Most compact projects turn around in a day or two — timing scales with script length and talent availability, and you will have a confirmed deadline before we start.

Every Persian (Farsi) voice over is quoted individually. Recording starts from an all-inclusive Basic Studio Fee covering the voice actor, the casting, the direction, studio time and a sound engineer, with a usage licence added for broadcast, advertising or online campaigns. Persian (Farsi) rates depend on script length, talent and how the audio is used — send your script for an exact, no-obligation quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

Yes. We cast native Persian (Farsi) voice actors and match the regional accent or dialect your audience in Iran and Persian-speaking communities expects, so your content sounds local rather than translated.

Yes. Alongside Persian (Farsi) voice over we provide Persian (Farsi) dubbing, subtitling and translation, so you can localise a whole project with one team. Combining services keeps terminology, tone and timing consistent across every version.

Expect your Persian recording in the format your project calls for — WAV, MP3, AIFF and others — at broadcast quality, delivered as individual files or one mix.

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.
