British and Welsh voices for Birmingham briefs

British and Welsh voices recording for Birmingham agencies, studios and businesses from broadcast-quality home studios around the country. Press play and have a listen.

The agency question

Why Birmingham's done with the agency

Birmingham is the workshop of the world and it likes things to work. Booking a voice through an agency never really did: a phone call, a wait, a shortlist chosen by someone who hadn't read your script, a studio slot, another wait, then a bill. The city that built the first steam engine was casting voices by carrier pigeon. It has moved on.

Agencies aren't the enemy. The waiting is.

The agency way

  • A shortlist chosen for you, not by you
  • Showreels recorded for somebody else
  • Studio hire, travel, and the meter running
  • A Friday brief that sits until Monday

The online way

  • British, Welsh and Irish voiceover artists reading your actual script, free
  • Auditions usually within the hour, day or night
  • Broadcast-quality home studios, finished files within a day
  • One public rate card, and free re-records if a read misses your notes

The briefs

What Birmingham records.

Birmingham briefs come from everywhere. Adverts for the agencies in Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter, corporate films for the professional firms in Colmore Row, e-learning for the universities and the hospitals, explainers for the engineering and automotive firms out towards the motorways, and on-hold messages for half the call centres in the Midlands. The read has to sound trustworthy and clear, and the auditions will tell you which voice does.

Things every Birmingham brief already knows.

0121

The dialling code

Read it out and the whole of the Midlands knows where you are. Your voice should sound like it belongs there too, or like it doesn't, if that's the brief.

35

Miles of canal in the city

Birmingham has always found its own way round. Casting a voice online is just the latest shortcut.

GMT

Birmingham time

Post your script at the end of the day and the first auditions are usually in before the M6 clears.

Questions

Birmingham, asked and answered.

Do I need to hire a studio in Birmingham?

No. Every voiceover artist on the site records from a broadcast-quality home studio and sends finished files ready for the edit. Nothing to book.

How quickly will the auditions arrive?

Post your script and they usually start within the hour, any day of the week. Finished recordings usually land within 24 hours of booking.

Can I get a Brummie voice?

Yes. Say Brummie, Black Country or just Midlands in the brief, and how strong you want it. British voiceover artists cover the range, and the auditions settle it faster than any bio.

Is this a Birmingham voiceover agency?

Not in the old sense. There's no booker, no studio to hire and no markup. Welsh, Irish, Scottish and British voiceover artists we've reviewed one by one audition your script for free, and you book the one you like.

What does it cost?

The rate card is public and set by the length and use of the script. Birmingham pays the same as anywhere else, and you'll see the price before you post.
