Welsh voice over services

Send it to us and we will read it, without charging for it. The quickest tell is consonant mutation: Welsh changes the first letter of a word according to the grammar around it, translation tools handle it inconsistently, and a script that leaves words in their dictionary form is wrong rather than merely stiff. Every Welsh speaker hears it.

If you are a public body operating in Wales, the Welsh Language Standards set duties about providing services in Welsh, and a great deal of the work we record exists because of them. The bar is genuine equivalence with the English rather than a token version. Tell us what you are producing and we will tell you what that implies.

It depends on the audience and the purpose. Wales has a large population of confident speakers who learned Welsh at school, and for some content that voice reflects the audience accurately. For broadcast and for anything under the Standards, first-language is usually what is expected. It is worth deciding deliberately rather than by accident.

Yes — much of our Welsh work is bilingual content for public bodies and brands operating in Wales, delivered to the right standard. Tell us your requirement and we'll scope it in the quote.

Often, yes. Welsh is an official language of Wales and public bodies operating there have duties around providing services in it, so a Welsh version is frequently a requirement rather than a nice-to-have. Beyond compliance, hearing Cymraeg signals that the content was made for that audience rather than translated at them.

Yes, and it is one of the most common requests we handle. If you are producing for the UK, we can also advise on a combined strategy that adds Scots, Gaelic or other regional languages alongside English and Welsh.

A short Welsh recording is typically one to two working days, with bigger projects planned around length and voice availability and a date pinned down early.

Every Welsh voice over is quoted individually. Recording starts from an all-inclusive Basic Studio Fee covering studio time and a sound engineer, with a usage licence added for broadcast, advertising or online campaigns. Welsh rates depend on script length, talent and how the audio is used — send your script for an exact, no-obligation quote, backed by our Price Match Promise.

Yes. We cast native Welsh voice actors and match the regional accent or dialect your audience in Wales expects, so your content sounds local rather than translated.

We supply Welsh recordings to broadcast specification in any common format (WAV, MP3, AIFF and others), as individual takes or one ready-to-use mix.

Common projects include public-sector and government content, education and e-learning, tourism, broadcast for S4C, and bilingual IVR — often produced alongside an English version to meet Welsh Language Standards. Tell us the brief and we'll match it.
