Portuguese voice over for your market.
Portuguese is two markets in practice: Brazil and Portugal differ in accent, vocabulary and rhythm enough that audiences notice the wrong one at once.

Specs
Specs for a Portuguese delivery
- Script length
- Portuguese often runs longer than English by around 20 percent, and Brazilian and European versions of the same script rarely match in length.
- Register
- Brazil mostly uses você and Portugal often prefers the formal third person for strangers, so we confirm the form of address with the brand.
- Delivery
- WAV or MP3, named to your convention.
- Native review before delivery
- A native Portuguese speaker checks the script and the takes.

Questions
Portuguese, answered.
Can a Brazilian version be used in Portugal?
It can be understood, but audiences hear it as foreign and ads lose trust. Brief both markets separately.
Do you adapt the text, or only record it?
Both. We can translate and adapt from English, or record a script you supply after a native check.
How long does a Portuguese project take?
The quote gives the date.
