Iraqi Arabic in a voice-over brief

Iraqi Arabic belongs to the Mesopotamian group of dialects and differs from Levantine, Gulf and Egyptian speech in vocabulary and sound. Baghdad speech is the common media reference, while northern and southern varieties are heard in the regions. Kurdish and other languages are spoken beside Arabic in the country. A brief states the audience, whether the register is conversational or formal and whether the Arabic text is already written in dialect or in the standard form, because adapting between them is a separate step.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Iraqi Arabic session.

  1. Distinct dialect

    Iraqi differs from Levantine and Gulf speech.

  2. Regional variation

    North and south differ.

  3. Kurdish nearby

    Kurdish has its own page.

How we work

  1. Casting

    We shortlist voices for your language, audience and tone, and explain the difference between them. You choose, and approve a written quote.

  2. Direction

    A director runs the session against your brief: meaning, pace and every agreed pronunciation. You can listen in remotely.

  3. Delivery

    Every file is checked against the script word by word and technically, then delivered in your format and naming.
