Welsh voice over for The Equality and Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is Great Britain’s national equality body. Their brief is to help make Britain fairer. They are responsible for safeguarding and enforcing the laws that protect people’s rights to fairness, dignity and respect.

They required a translation and voice over service for their animation, promoting the benefits of equality and human within the United Kingdom. Geraint, a female Welsh voice talent was selected to discuss how human rights protect us in our day-to-day lives. Her firm but caring tone was the ideal sound to demonstrate the commission’s message.

We time-coded the script and added a burnt-in time-code (BITC) to the video to help Geraint in the studio to record time-synced to the English version. Our experienced engineer then mixed the voice-over with the music track and laid back to video.

A short history of the Welsh language

Welsh (Cymraeg) belongs to the Celtic language group, one of the nine branches of the Indo-European family of languages. It is one of the oldest languages in Europe – possibly dating back 4,000 years.

Celtic languages were spoken throughout Europe before the spread of the Roman Empire. The ones that survived were those that had migrated from the mainland to the western islands of Britain and Ireland during the Bronze Age or Iron Age.

Over time, Proto-Celtic divided into four sub-groups. Of these, two are now extinct (Gaulish and Hispano-Celtic). The others are Brittonic (which includes Welsh, Cornish and Breton, as well as the extinct languages of Cumbric and Pictish) and Goidelic (which includes Irish, Manx and Scottish Gaelic).

The Welsh language has faced significant threats over the years, particularly dilution by the influx of English-speaking workers to Wales during the Industrial Revolution; by 1911 it had become a minority language. There is now a huge drive to keep the language alive in Wales, with Welsh a compulsory subject in schools up to the age of 16. Read more
