Galician voice over services

No, though the question is a fair one. Galician and Portuguese share a medieval origin and a Galician reader follows written Portuguese comfortably. But the phonetics diverged: European Portuguese reduces and elides unstressed vowels far more than Galician does, and Galician's vowel system sits much closer to Spanish. A listener in Galicia places a Lisbon read as Portuguese within a sentence. Understood, and clearly from somewhere else.

The standard, for anything institutional or public-facing. The norm set by the Real Academia Galega is what administration, education and the CRTVG broadcaster use, and it is what audiences expect from that kind of content. Gheada and seseo are strong regional markers from specific parts of Galicia — excellent for character work, fiction or a deliberately local campaign, and out of place in a government announcement.

No. Galician is a separate Romance language, not an accent of Spanish, and while nearly all Galician speakers are bilingual that is a fact about people rather than about the languages. A Spanish read is immediately recognisable as Spanish. If your content ships in both, we record each with its own native talent and can schedule the sessions together.

Yes, and it is usually the sensible way to do it. Galician is co-official with Spanish in Galicia, so most of the work we see is one half of a bilingual deliverable. Commissioning the pair together lets us adapt both to the same picture, keep the sync points aligned and hold terminology consistent, and it generally costs less than treating them as separate projects.

Small — one voice on the books at the moment, and we are actively recruiting. We would rather tell you now than at shortlist stage. In practice we treat every Galician brief as a casting job: you give us the register and the audience, we go to our wider network in Galicia, and we come back with bespoke auditions.

Not on the roster at the moment — our current Galician voice is female. If your project needs a male read, say so when you brief us and we will go to our wider network and come back honestly about what we can arrange and in what timeframe.

Yes, and for Galician that is the arrangement — our talent records through our global network rather than in our London studios. You can direct live over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams, so you hear takes as they happen and can adjust on the spot.

Institutional and public-information campaigns, broadcast and documentary narration, health and education material, museum and cultural interpretation, corporate video for companies operating in Galicia, eLearning delivered bilingually, and accessibility work such as audio description.

For Galician as for anything else, the spec sheet governs rather than our habits — WAV or MP3, stems on request, at whatever sample rate, bit depth and loudness is written down.

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.
