Scottish Gaelic in a voice-over brief

Scottish Gaelic is a Celtic language spoken mainly in the Hebrides and the Highlands, written in Latin letters with grave accents on vowels. It is related to Irish but the two differ in spelling and sound. Place names throughout Scotland come from Gaelic, so pronunciation matters beyond Gaelic-language projects. The number of professional voices is small, so we confirm availability first. A brief covers the audience, whether the piece is for broadcast, education or tourism and whether an English version should be recorded beside it.

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.

Length: Word count or running time of the finished audio.
Use and territory: Internal, online or broadcast; where it runs and for how long.
Voice: Some languages and voice profiles are scarcer than others.
Picture and files: Recording to timecode, splitting and naming add work.
