Accent and direction notes
What our director listens for in a Swiss German session.
Dialect or Standard
Dialect is spoken and rarely written. Standard German with a Swiss accent is used for formal copy.
Spelling
Switzerland writes ss instead of ß.
Which dialect
Zurich and Bern differ clearly. The brief should name the target region.
What casting decides in Swiss German

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.

Swiss German voice-over questions
Can you record in Swiss German dialect?
Yes, for the regions you name. Scripts are adapted to speech before recording.
Is a German voice fine for Switzerland?
It is understood but sounds imported. A Swiss voice is better for local work.
Do you also record Swiss French?
Yes, see the Swiss French page.
