Finnish voice over services

Not always. Finland is officially bilingual and Swedish has a substantial community, particularly along the coast and in Åland, with public-sector content often carrying a duty attached. Campaigns that need to cover the country frequently need both. Tell us whether Finland means Finnish or Finland and we will quote accordingly.

We agree it before recording. Finnish has fifteen cases and attaches endings directly to the name, so a brand either inflects — reading naturally but changing the name as written — or is held fixed, which looks like a foreign object in the sentence. It appears constantly in marketing copy, so it is worth settling early.

Yes, all native Finnish. Phrasing long compounds is where Finnish reads are won or lost, so auditions are always recorded on your copy rather than sent as stock demos.

No. Despite Finland's position in the Nordics, Finnish is a Finno-Ugric language and is not related to Swedish, Norwegian or Danish, which are Germanic. They are entirely different languages, so a Finnish project needs a native Finnish voice — a Scandinavian speaker is not an alternative.

It depends on your audience. Swedish is Finland's second official language and around 5% of the population speaks it as a first language, concentrated on the coast and in the Åland Islands. Finland Swedish also sounds noticeably different from the Swedish spoken in Sweden. Tell us the market you're targeting and we'll advise, or cast both if your campaign needs full national coverage.

Usually not without adaptation. Finnish tends to run longer than English, so we check the timing against your video before recording and adapt the script to fit rather than rushing the read. If you send the video with the script, we'll flag any tight sections up front.

Common projects include TV and radio commercials, corporate and e-learning video, technology and telecoms content, video games, and IVR/phone systems aimed at Finland and the wider Nordic region.

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

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

Yes. You are welcome at the Finnish session, and if that is not practical you can direct live over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams instead.

Broadcast-quality WAV as standard, MP3 or separated stems where you need them, mastered to the loudness target your platform sets. Share the spec and we will deliver to it.

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.
