Filipino voice over, natively reviewed.
Filipino, based on Tagalog, is the national language, and everyday speech mixes it with English in a style called Taglish.
Accents and variants of Filipino.
- Standard Filipino
- The formal register of broadcast and public content.
- Taglish
- The conversational mix of Tagalog and English that dominates advertising and consumer content.
- Regional languages
- Cebuano, Ilocano and others, cast separately for regional campaigns.
What a native Filipino reviewer checks.
- Formal or Taglish
- Choose between a standard script and the everyday mix.
- Po and opo
- These politeness words show respect, and the voice should use them when the audience calls for it.
- Names and loanwords
- Spanish and English loanwords are common, and how they are said varies.
Writing for Filipino.
- Over-pure Filipino
- Deep Tagalog words sound unnatural to most listeners.
- Regional audiences
- Cebuano and other languages are separate jobs.
- Numbers
- Many speakers use English or Spanish-derived numbers. Agree which.
Filipino voice over: questions.
Should we use Taglish?
For consumer content, usually. For formal and public content, the standard register is safer.
Do we need Cebuano or Ilocano too?
For campaigns aimed at those regions, yes. They are separate languages.
