Arabic voice over, natively reviewed.

Arabic is many spoken varieties under one written standard. The first decision is whether the audience needs the formal standard or a local accent.

Accents and variants of Arabic.

Modern Standard Arabic: The formal written standard, used in news, training, public bodies and cross-regional content.
Egyptian Arabic: The most widely understood spoken variety, used in film, television and consumer content.
Levantine Arabic: The spoken Arabic of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine.
Gulf Arabic: The accent of the Gulf states, for audiences in the Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
Maghrebi Arabic: The varieties of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, which differ most from the others.

Standard or local: Standard Arabic reaches every country but can sound formal. A local variety feels closer, and reaches fewer people.
Short vowels: Written Arabic omits short vowels, so a reviewer checks how each word should be read.
Direction and numerals: The script runs right to left. We agree whether figures use Western or Eastern Arabic numerals.

Right-to-left scripts: Mixed text with English terms and numbers needs careful handling so it reads in the right order.
Dialect words: The same thing has different names in different countries. Check the script against the target market.
Register: A formal script read in a casual accent, or the opposite, sounds wrong to a native ear.

Which Arabic should we choose for a regional campaign?

Standard Arabic reaches all countries. For stronger connection, we produce local versions for the main markets.

Can one voice cover the whole Arab world?

In the standard form, yes. Spoken varieties are specific to each region and need local voices.
