Welsh English in a voice-over brief

Welsh English carries a melodic intonation shaped by the Welsh language and varies between the south, the north and the valleys. Welsh words and place names appear in English-language scripts, so correct pronunciation of names like Llanelli matters. Public bodies in Wales often publish bilingual material. A brief states the region, the accent strength and whether a Welsh-language version will follow.

Accent and direction notes

What our director listens for in a Welsh English session.

Rhythm of Welsh
Welsh English often has a melodic rhythm influenced by Welsh.
South and north
Cardiff and Swansea differ from the north. The brief should name the area.
Not Welsh language
The Welsh language has its own page.

What casting decides in Welsh English

Welsh English or Welsh
Many Welsh campaigns need both.
Region
We cast per area.

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.

Use and territory: Internal, online or broadcast; where it runs and for how long.
