Cebuano in a voice-over brief

Cebuano, also called Bisaya, is spoken across the Visayas and much of Mindanao in the Philippines. It is a language in its own right, written in Latin letters, with vocabulary and grammar that differ from Tagalog. Regional ads, radio programmes and public information often favour it because audiences feel addressed directly. Speakers mix in English, especially in business. In the brief we ask the region, the formality of the register and which English words stay, then a native reviewer checks the text.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Cebuano session.

Not Tagalog
Cebuano is a separate language, not a Tagalog dialect.

Regional variation
Speech varies by island.

What casting decides in Cebuano

Cebuano or Tagalog
Regional ads want Cebuano.

Retail is friendly.

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.
