Tamil voice over services

It depends what the content is for. Literary Tamil suits news-style narration, official and public-sector content and anything that should sound authoritative. Spoken Tamil suits advertising, social, dialogue and eLearning — anything meant to sound like a person talking to you. Tell us the use case and we will recommend one and direct for it.

Almost always the register rather than the actor. If the script was written in literary Tamil and recorded faithfully, the result is accurate and formal even when the brief was conversational, because literary Tamil is not how anyone speaks. The fix is to adapt the script into spoken Tamil and re-record, and we can do both.

Tell us the market and we will take it into account. Tamil is official in all three, and while they share the language, formal and technical vocabulary and some delivery norms differ, so a read aimed at one can sound slightly foreign in another. For pan-Tamil content we will advise on which read travels best.

Yes, with native Tamil linguists. We will ask which register you are recording in before we start, because a translation written for literary Tamil and one written for spoken Tamil are genuinely different documents. Settling that first avoids paying for an adaptation pass later.

Tamil script, ideally. Romanised Tamil is ambiguous about vowel length and retroflex consonants, and both change meaning, so it leaves decisions to be made in the booth that should have been made beforehand. If you only have a romanised version, send it and we will have a native linguist prepare a clean script.

No. Tamil is a Dravidian language, unrelated to Hindi, and while Malayalam is a close relative they are separate languages with different sound inventories. We cast native Tamil speakers. If your campaign needs several Indian languages we record each with its own talent and schedule the sessions together.

Corporate video and internal communications, eLearning and compliance training, advertising aimed at Tamil Nadu and at Singapore and Sri Lankan audiences, public-information content, banking and insurance material, documentary narration, and film, broadcast and OTT work for Tamil audiences.

Most short Tamil projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; longer or multi-voice work is scheduled with your dedicated project manager, who confirms a firm date up front.

Broadcast-grade WAV, MP3 or stems at your platform's sample rate, bit depth and loudness. Send the spec alongside the brief.

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.
