Calling Uzbek voice talent
We're expanding our Uzbek roster
Uzbek is a language we're actively growing. If you're an Uzbek voice actor, we'd love to hear your demos and put you forward for paid work.
About the language
The alphabet question is settled here — and two letters still break
Uzbek is a Turkic language of the Karluk branch, closer to Uyghur than to its Kazakh neighbour, and the state language of Uzbekistan. Most commercial work we see in it is corporate and industrial content, banking, safety and compliance training, government information and broadcast.
If you have worked in Kazakh, park what you learned there, because here the answer inverts. Uzbekistan adopted the Latin alphabet in 1993, and after a long transition Latin is now the standard: it is what schools teach, what signage uses and what most published material looks like. Cyrillic is still around, particularly among older readers and in some press, but it is no longer the default. In Kazakhstan the transition is still under way and Cyrillic still rules. Same story, different stage.
Now the part that actually costs people money. The Uzbek Latin alphabet has two letters built with a modifier: Oʻ and Gʻ. The correct character is the modifier letter turned comma (ʻ), not a straight apostrophe and not a curly typographic quote. Word processors, CMSs and design tools "autocorrect" that character relentlessly, and the moment they do, the letters stop being the letters they are. There is also a separate apostrophe (ʼ) used between certain sounds, which gets confused with them.
The result is copy that looks fine to everyone in the production chain and looks wrong to every Uzbek reader. It is the same class of problem as the Azerbaijani ə or the nine extra letters in Kazakh Cyrillic — correct at the source, broken by the time it reaches the layout. We check it on delivery, and it is worth pasting a real Uzbek string into your templates before you build anything.
One more thing worth knowing: Russian remains present in business, particularly in Tashkent and in older professional generations, so recording in Uzbek is partly a decision about who you are addressing. If you need both, we record Russian on its own roster.
Send the script before you send the purchase order. We will go through it without charging and flag whatever will not survive being spoken aloud, then quote it in full detail. The free casting is part of it: we record shortlisted Uzbek actors on your own lines and send you the takes. Get an Uzbek voice over quote, or just describe the project and we will tell you what it involves.

Getting Uzbek right
What to decide before recording
The audio is the straightforward part. The text around it is where Uzbek projects go wrong.
Latin, not Cyrillic
Uzbekistan settled this years ago. Latin is what schools, signage and most publishing use. Cyrillic survives among older readers but is not the default.
Protect the ʻ character
Oʻ and Gʻ use a modifier letter, not an apostrophe. Autocorrect replaces it constantly, and when it does the words are no longer correct.
Kazakh is the other way round
If your campaign covers both markets, note that Kazakhstan is still mid-transition and Cyrillic is the safe default there.
Russian is still in the room
Widely used in Tashkent business. Choosing Uzbek is a decision about audience, and the read should sound deliberate rather than default.

Most common questions
Should our Uzbek text be in Latin or Cyrillic?
Latin, for almost every project. Uzbekistan adopted the Latin alphabet in 1993 and after a long transition it is now the standard — schools teach it, signage uses it and most published material appears in it. Cyrillic is still read, particularly by older generations and in some press, so if your audience skews older it is worth a conversation. But Latin is the default, which is the opposite of the situation in Kazakhstan.
Why do our Uzbek words come back with the wrong apostrophe?
Because something in the chain autocorrected it. Uzbek Latin has two letters built with a modifier — Oʻ and Gʻ — and the correct character is the modifier letter turned comma, not a straight apostrophe and not a curly typographic quote. Word processors, CMSs and design tools replace it by default, and when they do, the letters are no longer the letters. There is also a separate apostrophe used between sounds, which gets confused with them. We check this on delivery, and it is worth testing a real Uzbek string in your templates early.
Can an Uzbek voice actor cover Kazakh, or the other way round?
No. Both are Turkic, but Uzbek sits in the Karluk branch — closer to Uyghur — while Kazakh is Kipchak, and the differences run well past accent. Audiences in either country hear the other immediately. If your campaign covers both markets we cast each separately and can schedule the sessions together.
Why record in Uzbek if Russian is understood?
Russian remains present in business, particularly in Tashkent and among older professional generations, so part of your audience would follow it. But Uzbek is the state language and the language of daily life for the great majority, and choosing it reads as a decision about who you are speaking to. For consumer, government and brand work that decision usually is the point.
How big is your Uzbek roster?
Deliberately honest about this: one voice signed, recruitment ongoing. Uzbek also carries a complication most languages do not — the alphabet changed from Cyrillic to Latin and the transition is still incomplete, so older speakers and younger ones have read very different text for most of their lives. We ask which generation you are addressing before casting.
Do you have female Uzbek voices?
Not signed at present. A female Uzbek read means sourcing from Tashkent, which we do regularly — put it in the brief and we will tell you the realistic lead time rather than promise a next-day turnaround we cannot meet.
Can I attend the session in person?
Yes, and for Uzbek that is genuinely possible rather than theoretical, because the artist is here in London. Remote direction over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams works too.
What do you use Uzbek voice over for?
Corporate video and internal communications, banking and financial services, industrial, mining and workplace safety training, government and public-information material, broadcast and consumer advertising, and eLearning for organisations operating in Uzbekistan.
What formats and loudness targets do you work to?
Broadcast-grade WAV, MP3 or stems at your platform's sample rate, bit depth and loudness. Send the spec alongside the brief.
What do you need from us to quote Uzbek 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 Uzbek 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.
