Austrian German in a voice-over brief

Austrian German has its own vocabulary for food and everyday objects, for example Marillen for apricots and Erdäpfel for potatoes. Vienna speech differs from Tyrolean and Styrian. Public broadcasting and national brands use an Austrian voice to sound local. A brief names the region, the register and whether the script follows Austrian spelling.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Austrian German session.

Austrian words
Everyday words differ, for example Jänner for January, and Paradeiser for tomato. A Germany script needs a check.
A different melody
Austrian speech has its own rhythm and vowel colour.
Vienna and the regions
Vienna speech differs from Tyrol or Styria. We confirm the target.

What casting decides in Austrian German

Austrian or Germany voice
Local ads want Austrian; training may use either.

How we work

Casting
We shortlist voices for your language, audience and tone, and explain the difference between them. You choose, and approve a written quote.
Direction
A director runs the session against your brief: meaning, pace and every agreed pronunciation. You can listen in remotely.
Delivery
Every file is checked against the script word by word and technically, then delivered in your format and naming.
