Latin in a voice-over brief
Latin has several pronunciation traditions. Classical Latin tries to reconstruct the sounds of the Roman Republic and Empire; Ecclesiastical Latin follows the pronunciation of the Church, which is close to Italian. A recording for a lesson, a film or a choir should name the tradition, because a mixed read sounds wrong to specialists. A scholar should check any long text.
Accent and direction notes
What our director listens for in a Latin session.
No native speakers
Latin is read, so the pronunciation tradition must be named.
Classical or ecclesiastical
Classical pronunciation reconstructs the ancient sound; ecclesiastical follows church tradition.
Script review
Scholars review texts before recording.
What casting decides in Latin
Pronunciation tradition
We agree it in advance.
Reader or actor
Education wants clarity; film wants performance.
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.
What decides the price
No price list: every quote is written for your project and states usage and the delivery date.
