Finnish voice over for your market.
Finnish is unrelated to its Nordic neighbours, with long words and a steady stress on the first syllable that shape how a script is written for speech.

Specs
Specs for a Finnish delivery
- Script length
- Finnish words are long and carry cases instead of prepositions, so a line can be a third shorter or longer than English and has to be tested aloud.
- Register
- Finns use sinä in nearly every context, and formality comes through verb forms and vocabulary. Tone is usually direct and plain.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.
- Native review before delivery
- A native Finnish speaker checks the script and the takes.

Questions
Finnish, answered.
Why does Finnish timing need extra care?
Case endings and long compound words make Finnish length unpredictable, so we check the adapted text against the picture before recording.
Can one Finnish read serve Sweden's Finnish speakers?
The Finnish of Finland is the standard for commercial work.
