Voice Crafters are highly responsive and professional. The Sound files provided are always clean cut, with excellent sound editing, and are arranged exactly as I request. Voice Crafters get the work done as fast as possible, including the pick-up sessions now and then. I can't think of anything more I can expect from a voiceover producer.

The Swedish language is a North Germanic language with around 10 million native speakers, mainly in Sweden. Another 3.2 million people speak Swedish as a second language.
Swedish is one of the two official languages of Sweden’s neighbor Finland. That’s surprising since only about 5.2% of Finland’s population speaks Sweden. Still, it has the status of an official language.
Swedish became the official language of Sweden only in 2009. Until then, Sweden didn’t have an official language.
Swedish roots could be traced back to the Old Norse, better known as the language of the Vikings and Scandinavia. Old Norse went through major changes, starting in the 9th century. Over time, Old Norse transformed into three separate languages: Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish.
It’s widely considered that modern Swedish was born in 1598 – the year when the New Testament was translated into Swedish.
Because of their same Germanic roots, Swedish is very closely related to Danish and Norwegian.
Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish languages are mutually intelligible. Depending on the dialect, the speakers of all three languages can understand each other pretty well, especially in writing.
Swedish has quite a few loan words from other languages. Words of German, English, Latin, and Greek origin are common in the Swedish vocabulary.
Swedish doesn’t have a word for “please”. So you’ll have to find other words to convey politeness. Swedes usually use tack (“thank you”) instead.
Swedish dialects are classified into six categories: South Swedish, Götaland, Svealand, Norrland, Finland, and Gotland.
When it comes to Swedish recordings, always keep in mind that Swedish has a rather unique tone. English speakers usually describe it as “songlike”.
Standard Swedish is the official Swedish variation that’s used in education, media, and science. However, there is a large group of region-specific dialects that differs from the standardized language.
It’s important to note what kind of accent should be used when recording a Swedish voice over. Sometimes Standard Swedish just won’t cut it – so make sure you’re aware of your target audience.
Scandinavian languages, including Swedish, are among the slower spoken languages. Because of the complex syllables that comprise the Swedish words, the rate of speech is quite slow.
Of course, the tempo of spoken Swedish depends on the context. The sports commentator, for example, will keep the tempo way above the average. In contrast, business presentations or everyday conversations will naturally be slower.
When choosing the speed of speech, always keep in mind your listeners and what message you’re trying to convey. After all, the main goal of a voice recording is a comprehensive message.
