Calling Macedonian voice talent
We're expanding our Macedonian roster
Macedonian is a language we're actively growing. If you're a Macedonian voice actor, we'd love to hear your demos and put you forward for paid work.
About the language
Its Cyrillic is not the Cyrillic your font was built for
Macedonian is a South Slavic language, official in North Macedonia, written in its own 31-letter Cyrillic alphabet. Most of the work we see in it is corporate video, broadcast, eLearning, public-information campaigns and consumer advertising.
The practical thing to know before your graphics are built: five of those letters do not exist in Russian Cyrillic — Ѓѓ, Ќќ, Ѕѕ, Љљ and Њњ. Two of them, Ѓ and Ќ, are essentially unique to Macedonian. And when a designer sees Cyrillic, the font they reach for is almost always one chosen for Russian.
The result is missing glyphs, empty boxes or silent substitutions in exactly those five letters — and the person laying it out does not read Macedonian, so nobody catches it. It is the same failure we see with the Azerbaijani ə, the nine extra letters in Kazakh Cyrillic and the modifier apostrophes in Uzbek: correct at the source, broken by the time it reaches the page. We check rendering on delivery, and it is worth pasting a real Macedonian string into your templates early.
On casting, one thing worth being clear about. Macedonian sits close to its neighbours, and clients regularly ask whether a Serbian or Bulgarian voice can cover it. The honest answer is no, and the reason is structural rather than a matter of accent: Macedonian has lost the noun case system and places the definite article after the noun, features it shares with Bulgarian through the Balkan linguistic area but which set it well apart from Serbian. A reader from Belgrade cannot adapt on the fly, because the shape of the sentence is different.
Typical work is corporate and internal communications, broadcast and documentary, eLearning and training, public-information and EU-funded programme material, and consumer advertising for the North Macedonian market.

Getting Macedonian right
What to know before you record
One of these is about the audio. The other two are about everything around it.
Five letters your font may not have
Ѓ, Ќ, Ѕ, Љ and Њ are absent from Russian Cyrillic. Test a real Macedonian string in your templates before anything is built.
Serbian is not a substitute
Macedonian has no noun cases and puts the definite article after the noun. The sentence is built differently, so adapting on the fly is not possible.
Latin transliteration is not a fallback
Macedonian is written in Cyrillic. Romanised text may be legible to a foreign reader but reads as foreign to the audience.
Brief us early
We cast Macedonian to order rather than from a deep shelf, so lead time buys a properly auditioned shortlist.
How we can help
One partner for the whole Balkans job
Translation & script adaptation
Macedonian translation by native linguists, delivered in Cyrillic with all 31 letters intact rather than transliterated for convenience.
Subtitling & captions
Macedonian subtitles checked character by character on delivery, because Ѓ, Ќ, Ѕ, Љ and Њ are where the rendering fails.

Most common questions
Why does our Macedonian text show empty boxes or wrong characters?
Almost always because the font was chosen for Russian. Macedonian Cyrillic has 31 letters, five of which Russian does not have — Ѓ, Ќ, Ѕ, Љ and Њ — and two of those are essentially unique to Macedonian. A font tested only on Russian drops or substitutes them, and since the person laying out the page does not read Macedonian, nobody catches it. We check rendering on delivery, and it is worth testing your own templates with a real Macedonian string early.
Can a Serbian or Bulgarian voice actor cover Macedonian?
No, and the reason goes beyond accent. Macedonian has lost the noun case system and places the definite article after the noun — features that separate it clearly from Serbian in particular. The sentence is built differently, so a reader from Belgrade cannot simply adapt as they go. A Macedonian audience hears the difference immediately. If your campaign covers several Balkan markets we cast each language separately and can schedule the sessions together.
Can we use Latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic?
You can, and your audience will read it as foreign. Macedonian is written in Cyrillic; romanised Macedonian appears in technical contexts and in transliterated names, but a whole piece of consumer or institutional content set in Latin looks like something produced for outsiders. If the constraint is technical — a system that cannot handle Cyrillic — tell us early and we will look at it, but it is worth solving properly rather than working around.
How big is your Macedonian roster?
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 Macedonian brief as a casting job: you give us the register and the audience, we go to our wider network in the region, and we come back with bespoke auditions.
Do you have female Macedonian voices?
Not on the roster at the moment — our current Macedonian voice is male. If your project needs a female 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.
Will our English timings still work in Macedonian?
Roughly, with some give. Macedonian runs a little longer than English in most registers, though nothing like the expansion you get with an agglutinative language. We flag the timing at translation stage and can either adapt the copy or tell you where the edit has room, rather than asking the voice actor to rush.
Can I direct the session remotely?
Yes, and for Macedonian 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.
What do you use Macedonian voice over for?
Corporate video and internal communications, broadcast and documentary, eLearning and training, public-information and EU-funded programme material, consumer advertising, and accessibility work for the North Macedonian market.
What audio formats and specs do you deliver?
Whatever your project needs — broadcast-standard WAV, MP3 or split stems, at the sample rate, bit depth and loudness (LUFS) you specify. Share your delivery spec and we'll match it.
