Yiddish in a voice-over brief

Yiddish is written in Hebrew letters from right to left and blends Germanic vocabulary with words from Hebrew, Aramaic and Slavic languages. Pronunciation and some words differ between communities, so a recording for a Hasidic audience differs from one for a secular cultural project. Archives, museums and documentaries use it for historical material, while communities use it daily. A brief states the audience, the spelling standard and whether a translation will be recorded alongside.

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.
