Philippine English in a voice-over brief

Philippine English reflects a long American influence in education and media, with its own rhythm and vocabulary. Filipino speakers are used to hearing it in call centres, advertising and government. English and Tagalog mix freely in conversation. A brief states the audience, the register and the amount of Taglish in the script.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Philippine English session.

  1. American-influenced sound

    Philippine English is often close to American English with its own rhythm.

  2. Taglish

    Speakers mix Tagalog and English. Scripts decide how much.

  3. Formal and casual

    Public notices are formal; advertising is conversational.

What casting decides in Philippine English

  • Philippine or neutral English

    Local ads want a Philippine voice; global training may use neutral.

  • English with Tagalog

    The Tagalog page covers the language.

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.

What decides the price

No price list: every quote is written for your project and states usage and the delivery date.

Yes, see the Tagalog page.

Is the accent suitable for US audiences?

Often, depending on the brief.

Four questions. A draft script or a word count is enough; you get a written quote before anything is recorded.
