British and Irish voices with Manchester graft

British and Irish voices who record for Manchester agencies, studios and businesses from broadcast-quality home studios around the country. Press play. Brew not included.

The agency question

Why Manchester's walking out on the agency

Manchester built the modern world and then spent thirty years waiting for a voice agent to ring back. A brief went to a booker in the city centre, a shortlist came back on Thursday, a studio in Salford had a slot the following week, and the invoice had a line on it nobody could explain. The city that does things first was doing this one last. Not any more.

Nothing against agents. It's the waiting we've gone off.

The agency way

  • A booker between you and every voice
  • Showreels that never read your words
  • Studio time in Salford, at studio prices
  • Nothing moves after six or at the weekend

The online way

  • British, Irish and Welsh voiceover artists auditioning your actual script, free
  • Reads back within the hour, most days
  • Broadcast-quality home studios, files within a day
  • A public rate card, and free re-records if a read misses

The briefs

What Manchester records.

Manchester makes a lot of telly, and a lot of everything else. Continuity and promos for the broadcasters at MediaCity, adverts for the agencies in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter, explainers for the tech firms around Spinningfields, e-learning for the universities and the NHS, and property films for the cranes that never seem to leave the skyline. The read has to sound like it means it, and the auditions will show you which one does.

Things every Manchester brief already knows.

0161

The dialling code

Say it on an on-hold script and nobody in the North needs the rest of the address. The voice should sound like it knows the way too.

1830

The year the first railway station opened

Manchester has been getting things there first ever since. A read that lands right the first time is in keeping.

GMT

Manchester time

Post your script before you leave the office and the first auditions are usually waiting before the tram reaches Altrincham.

Questions

Manchester, asked and answered.

Do I need a studio in Manchester?

No. Every voiceover artist here records in a broadcast-quality home studio and sends finished files ready for the edit. No studio to book and nothing to hire.

How fast is fast?

Post your script and auditions usually start arriving within the hour, seven days a week. Once you book, finished recordings usually land within 24 hours, often sooner for short scripts.

Can I get a Mancunian accent, or a broader Northern one?

Yes. Say Manc, Lancashire, Yorkshire or just Northern in the brief, and how strong you want it. British voiceover artists cover the range, and the auditions settle it in a minute.

Is this a voiceover agency in Manchester?

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

What will it cost?

The rate card is public and depends on the length and use of the script, not on where you are. You'll see the price before you post.
