About the language

Why native Greek matters

Greek reaches Greece and Cyprus, two related but distinct audiences, and it carries a cultural weight that rewards a warm, native delivery over a purely functional one.

We record Greek for tourism and shipping, retail, public information and eLearning, in standard Modern Greek for the mainland or Cypriot Greek where the audience is in Cyprus.

Greece and Cyprus are one language and two markets. Cypriot Greek differs enough in pronunciation and vocabulary that audiences in each place know immediately which one is reading, and Cypriot institutions generally expect their own. Beyond that, Greek uses its own alphabet, and the tonos accent and final sigma still get mangled by systems that assume Latin encoding — worth confirming your delivery spec before recording rather than at handover. Greek also runs longer than English, so timed content needs the script adapted, not just translated. Tell us which market you are addressing and we will cast and time for it.

Greek runs noticeably longer than English, so timed content needs the copy adapted rather than the delivery accelerated. It shows up hardest in advertising, where the last third of a rushed read is exactly where the call to action lives. Tell us the target duration at brief stage and we will tell you what has to give before a session is booked.

Greeklish is a real convention worth knowing about, Greek written in Latin characters, common in informal digital communication. It is not something you would record, but it turns up in source material, user-generated content and briefs, and a script that arrives partly in Greeklish needs converting properly rather than transliterating back.

Modern Greek settled its written accent system within living memory, moving from the older multi-accent scheme to a single accent mark. Text produced from old sources or old fonts can still carry the earlier marks, and it reads as dated or simply wrong to a modern audience. Worth checking if your source material is not recent.

Send us the script and the duration and we will tell you how far over it runs, without a fee — in Greek that assessment saves more than it costs, because the expansion is predictable and large. You get an itemised quote, the copy adapted rather than merely translated, and a free casting of Greek voices reading your adapted script, cast for Greece or for Cyprus as you need. Request a Greek voice over quote or outline the project and we will reply with the timing analysis first.

Most common questions

Will our English script fit the same running time in Greek?

Usually not — Greek runs noticeably longer, and it shows up hardest in advertising, where a rushed final third is exactly where the call to action sits. Send us the script and the target duration and we will tell you what has to give, without charging for it, before you book studio time.

Our source material is in Greeklish. Can you work from it?

Yes, but it needs converting properly rather than transliterating back. Greeklish — Greek written in Latin characters — is a normal convention in informal digital communication and turns up in source material and briefs. We will convert it into proper Greek as part of the job rather than working from a mechanical reversal.

Do you cover Cyprus as well as Greece?

Standard Modern Greek serves Greece; for Cyprus we can cast Cypriot Greek so it feels local. Tell us the target and we'll note it on the quote.

Do you have native Greek voice actors?

Yes, and we cast separately for Greece and for Cyprus, because audiences in each hear which one is reading. Tell us the market and we'll audition on your script.

What do you use Greek voice over for?

Common projects include TV and radio commercials, corporate and e-learning video, documentaries and broadcast, apps and games, tourism content and IVR/phone systems aimed at Greece and Cyprus.

Can you also translate and subtitle into Greek?

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

How much does a Greek voice over cost?

The cost of a Greek recording depends on script length, usage — broadcast or advertising licences in particular — and turnaround. Send the script for a fixed, itemised quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

How quickly can we have the files?

Short scripts are usually back within 24–48 hours; longer or multi-voice work takes a little more, and your Greek project manager confirms a firm date up front.

Can I direct the Greek session remotely?

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

Can you record Greek to picture — for dubbing or lip-sync?

Yes. As well as straight narration we handle timed reads, UN-style voice-over and lip-synced dubbing to video, directed in-studio so the Greek performance matches your footage.

Which audio formats can you supply?

We hand over Greek voice over files in any standard format — WAV, MP3, AIFF and beyond — to broadcast specification, as separate tracks or a single combined file.

What do you need from us to quote Greek 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 Greek 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.
