Hindi voice artist Sakshi S loves a live-directed recording session as she gets to understand briefs quicker and receive instant client feedback 😊

She adds that it’s also a great way to take all “guesswork out of the equation” when it comes to understanding exactly what a client wants 💯

We couldn’t agree more!

Spending time with loved ones, spreading kindness and indulging in comforting treats – that’s what Christmas is truly about.

But let’s be honest… it’s also about presents 🎁

We’re fully functioning adults most of the year, but something about Christmas turns a few of us into excited kids.

Watch our Christmas video, made even more magical with voices from the talented children of our Matinée family: Lexi, Raffy and Rudi 😊

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from everyone at Matinée!

Spoken daily by more than 400 million people, today is World Arabic Language Day.

Just 10% of global TV ads are accessible.

Meanwhile, people with disabilities who are often excluded from those ads hold US$8 trillion in spending power 💯

As XR’s 2025 report highlights, “Millions of (brand) impressions are lost when people can’t understand video content.”

Don’t treat accessibility as a nice ‘add-on’.

Brands that create accessible content gain stronger reach and better performance across platforms 📈

📣 Project Spotlight

Every voice-over project tells a story, and precision matters.

For Dan Snow’s documentary on the Chinese terracotta army, we delivered English voice-overs that honoured the cultural context while keeping the message clear.

From finding the right voice to ensuring clarity and cultural sensitivity, it’s about more than just recording; it’s about telling the story authentically.

Clear communication and a streamlined workflow helped us finish ahead of schedule, resulting in a happy client 😊

This project was meant to supplement a Channel 5 documentary hosted by British historian Dan Snow.

Project Spotlight 🎯

The brief? To provide a safe, comfortable recording studio for a podcast championing women in cybersecurity.

The client? Cybersecurity power duo Amelia Hewitt and Rebecca Taylor💪🏼

We didn’t just record a podcast for them; we created a space where they could have open, candid conversations in true ‘Cyber Agony Aunt’ style, connecting with their audience.

Projects like these matter to us – we're all for championing women in male-dominated fields ✨

This case study explores how Matinée became the Cyber Agony Aunts' podcast partner.
