Modern Standard Arabic in a voice-over brief
Modern Standard Arabic is the written and formal spoken language of the Arab world, used in news, books, education and official speech, and not as a mother tongue by anyone. Short vowels are normally unwritten, so scripts for recording usually carry diacritics. A brief states whether the audience is general or regional, the tone and whether dialect versions will follow.
Accent and direction notes
What our director listens for in a Modern Standard Arabic session.
Diacritics
Arabic is usually written without short vowels. A script with diacritics prevents misreads.
Formal register
MSA sounds formal; ads often prefer a dialect.
Right to left
Scripts and on-screen text run right to left.
What casting decides in Modern Standard Arabic
MSA or dialect
For wide reach and formality, MSA. For warmth, a dialect.
Neutral accent
We cast voices with little regional marking.
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.

Modern Standard Arabic voice-over questions
Should my Arabic script have diacritics?
Ideally for names and ambiguous words. We help prepare it.
Is MSA suitable for advertising?
Sometimes, but dialects feel more natural. We recommend per brief.
Does Arabic run longer than English?
Often around 20–25% longer, so we time the script.
