About the language

Why native Georgian matters

Georgian is the official language of Georgia, spoken by around 3.7 million people, and it is unlike anything around it. It belongs to the Kartvelian family — it is not Indo-European, and it is unrelated to Russian, Turkish or Armenian despite sharing a region with all three. There is no neighbouring language that can stand in for it.

It is written in Mkhedruli, an alphabet used for no other major language and one that makes no distinction between upper and lower case. That matters less for a voice over than for on-screen text, but it shapes everything that surrounds the recording: titles, captions and graphics all need handling by someone who reads the script.

For the read itself, the thing that separates a native performance is articulation. Georgian permits consonant clusters that most languages do not, and a non-native speaker either stumbles over them or breaks them up with vowels that are not there. Neither is subtle to a Georgian listener.

The other reason to cast natively is not to cast Russian by accident. Many Georgians speak Russian as a second language, and a Russian-influenced read is immediately audible — and, given the region's history, not neutral. We cast native Georgian speakers, recorded and directed as such.

Demand for Georgian voice over typically comes from film and television production shooting in Georgia, which has become a popular location, along with tourism campaigns, outsourcing and shared-service centres in Tbilisi, e-learning publishers and consumer brands entering the Caucasus market.

Georgian is a language isolate with its own alphabet, related to nothing spoken around it — not to Russian, not to Turkish, not to Armenian despite the neighbourhood. Its script, Mkhedruli, is used for no other language and has no capital letters at all, so the typographic conventions your designers rely on for emphasis do not exist. That is a design decision rather than a translation one, and it is worth raising before the artwork is signed off.

Georgian stacks consonants in ways almost no other language does, with clusters of six or more that are perfectly ordinary words rather than curiosities. A reader who is fluent but not native either breaks them up or stumbles, and both are audible. It is the practical reason we cast first-language Georgian speakers only.

Georgian has no grammatical gender, which occasionally leaves a translated line ambiguous where the English was specific — worth a read-through with that in mind rather than a mechanical conversion.

Send us the script and we will check the rendering and the consonant handling before anything is booked, at no cost — Mkhedruli support is patchy enough in fonts and players that it is worth confirming rather than assuming. You get an itemised quote and a free casting of Georgian voices auditioned on your own material. Request a Georgian voice over quote or outline the project and we will reply with options.

Getting Georgian right

What to sort out first

Georgian is a small market with a language that has no close relatives, so the usual regional shortcuts do not apply.

No substitute language

Georgian is Kartvelian, not Indo-European. Russian, Armenian and Turkish are neighbours, not relatives, and none of them will pass for it.

Consonant clusters are the tell

Georgian allows sequences of consonants that most speakers cannot produce cleanly. It is the first thing that gives away a non-native read.

Russian is not neutral here

Many Georgians speak Russian, but a Russian-accented Georgian read carries associations you almost certainly do not want in a campaign.

Plan the on-screen text too

Mkhedruli has no capital letters, so the emphasis conventions borrowed from English do not work. Titles and captions need a native eye, and font support outside Georgia is patchy.

Most common questions

Will our design work with Georgian text?

Worth checking early. Georgian uses its own alphabet, Mkhedruli, which is used for no other language and has no capital letters at all — so typographic conventions your designers rely on for emphasis simply do not exist. Font and player support is also patchy. We confirm the rendering on your platform rather than assuming.

Why do you insist on native Georgian voice actors?

Chiefly the consonant clusters. Georgian stacks six or more consonants in perfectly ordinary words, and a fluent non-native either breaks them up or stumbles — both audible. It is also a language isolate, so there is no neighbouring language whose speakers can approximate it.

Can a Russian speaker record Georgian?

No. They are unrelated languages — Georgian is Kartvelian, Russian is Slavic — and they share neither vocabulary nor sound system. Many Georgians speak Russian as a second language, but a Russian-influenced Georgian read is audible immediately and, given the region's history, it is not a neutral choice. We cast native Georgian speakers.

Do you have native Georgian voice actors?

Yes. We work with native Georgian voice actors covering a range of ages and styles for commercials, corporate video, e-learning, documentary and IVR. Send us your brief and we'll shortlist the right voices and record bespoke auditions to your script.

Are there regional accents in Georgian I should specify?

Georgian has regional dialects, but standard Georgian is what broadcast and commercial work uses and it serves the whole country. Unless your content is specifically set in one region, the standard read is the right call. Tell us the audience and we'll advise.

What do you use Georgian voice over for?

Common projects include film and television production shooting in Georgia, tourism and destination campaigns, corporate and e-learning video, outsourcing and shared-service training for teams in Tbilisi, documentary narration, and IVR and phone systems aimed at the Georgian market.

Can you also translate and subtitle into Georgian?

Yes. We handle the full job — translation and script adaptation by native linguists, Georgian voice over, and Mkhedruli subtitles or captions confirmed to render correctly — so everything stays consistent across the project.

What sort of turnaround should we plan for?

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

Can I direct the Georgian session remotely?

Yes, and most clients do it remotely: Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams give you the same control over the Georgian read without the travel.

Which audio formats can you supply?

Files arrive in the format your workflow expects — WAV, MP3 or split stems — mastered to your loudness spec. Send the delivery requirements with the brief and we will match them exactly.

What do you need from us to quote Georgian 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 a Georgian 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.
