Pakistani English in a voice-over brief

Pakistani English draws on Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto and Sindhi, and its rhythm and vowel sounds differ from British English. Government, law and higher education use English, while advertising mixes English with Urdu. Numbers are often given in lakh and crore. A brief names the audience, the register and whether Urdu or another language is to be recorded alongside.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Pakistani English session.

Influence of Urdu and Punjabi
First languages shape the accent.
Numbers
Lakh and crore are used in Pakistan too. Scripts decide.
Formal and conversational
Corporate work is formal; advertising is conversational.

What casting decides in Pakistani English

Pakistani or Indian accent
The accents differ. The brief names the audience.
English or Urdu
The Urdu page covers the language.

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.
