Catalan voice over, natively reviewed.
Catalan audiences expect Catalan, not a Spanish script translated word for word. We cast the variety your listeners speak.
Accents and variants of Catalan.
- Central Catalan
- The most widely heard variety, based on Barcelona, and the usual choice for national content in Catalonia.
- Valencian
- The variety of the Valencian Community, with its own vocabulary and verb forms.
- Balearic
- The accent of Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, for audiences on the islands.
- North-western Catalan
- The variety of western Catalonia and Aragon, for audiences there.
- Andorran Catalan
- For audiences in Andorra, where Catalan is the official language.
What a native Catalan reviewer checks.
- Tu or vostè
- Vostè is the formal form and is still common with older audiences and in public services. We agree it first.
- Variety-specific forms
- Valencian and Central Catalan differ in some verb forms and words, and audiences notice.
- Place and brand names
- Names written in Catalan or Spanish are said differently, and we check each against the market.
Writing for Catalan.
- Write in Catalan, not translated from Spanish
- Word order and idiom differ, so a script written in Catalan sounds natural and a mirrored Spanish one does not.
- Choose the variety deliberately
- For one audience across regions, Central Catalan is widely understood. For Valencia, use a Valencian voice.
- Public content has language rules
- Catalonia and Andorra set expectations for the use of Catalan in public services. Check them for your sector.
Catalan voice over: questions.
Is Valencian a different language?
Linguists and the main academies treat it as a variety of Catalan, and many Valencians use their own name for it. We cast it as its own accent.
Is Catalan worth producing if the audience also speaks Spanish?
Catalan content builds trust that a Spanish version does not, especially in public services, education and retail.
