Voiceover Studios
VOICEOVER STUDIOS
Our voiceover studios in London have been designed and purpose-built as voice recording and audio post-production facilities.
We can then deliver broadcast-ready mixes for commercials, films, documentaries, TV-series, radio, trailers, animations, video games, ADR, IVRs and much more in any format direct to your e-mail ready for download immediately after the session.
All in the comfort of our five studio facilities across two sites in the centre of London’s Soho and Fitzrovia.
We are proud to say that our signature studio, Arnason1, is the very first Dolby Atmos Home Entertainment Certified Studio in the world. Dolby Atmos is the first cinematic audio format in which sounds exist as individual entities, called audio objects. Any sound, a helicopter flying, a car screeching around a corner, a melodic bird call, can be precisely placed and moved anywhere in the room, including overhead, to flow above and around you in three-dimensional space. The sound has all the richness, clarity, and power of Dolby sound, but now with Dolby Atmos, you get the feeling of actually being inside the action too.
- Create sound design
- Compose music
- Multitude of sound effects and music libraries
- Our team can help you choose voiceover artists

Voiceovers
VOICEOVERS
When it comes to voiceovers, our expert engineers will take care of everything, short of getting in the booth themselves (although they have been known). We’ll help you choose the right voice, provide direction, edit, mix and master your finished recording, ready for broadcast in any media.
We’re trusted by TV channels such as the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and some of the UK’s most respected advertising agencies including BBH, AMV, Grey London, Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy & Mather.
And since we’re dropping names, we might as well mention we’ve been lucky enough to work with an incredible rollcall of artists; from Stephen Fry, Bob Geldof and Sir Ian McKellen to Idris Elba, John Hurt and Emma Thompson.
How it works
Get in touch to chat through your requirements and we’ll provide you with the right studio and schedule for your production.
If you need a voiceover artist, we’ll find you the perfect one to fit both your project and your pocket. If you can’t attend the session yourself, we’ll set up a connection so you can join remotely. And when the recording is complete our engineers will weave your preferred takes into one smooth edit. What’s more, if you need additional music or sound design, we’ll sort that out too.

TESTIMONIALS
“The measure of a good voice reel is that it books jobs and with Voice Over Soho I got a great one. There’s no other way to look at it, quality equals results and I cannot recommend these guys enough.”
– Omri Rose
“Voice Over Soho got me where I am – from recording video games to commercials!!! They knew what scripts would fit best for my voice and the studio is cosy and comfortable! Couldn’t be more grateful!”
– Fiona Rene
“Even established voiceovers need shaking up occasionally and my voice reel definitely needed freshening up! So, having worked with Peter and Teitur many times in my career, I had no hesitation in placing myself in their hands. They have a real understanding of what material suits which voices and the whole experience was easy and productive. All in all, they did me proud.”
– Trish Bertram
“Great experience. Nice, professional and helpful. Down to earth. You really knew what my voice would sound best doing, and you had plenty of material for me to choose from. And pretty soon after, the work began to come in. I really owe you guys a lot!”
– Thomas Arnold
“I feel extremely lucky to have stumbled across Voice Over Soho. I did their Voice Reel Starter package, was given a wide assortment of quality scripts to choose from beforehand, then sat in a sound booth and was superbly directed by a fellow called Teitur, who then mixed my takes together to music, at lightning speed. The files were in my inbox before I’d left the studio. I’m extremely pleased with the high-quality result and would utterly recommend them. My expectations were high and they completely exceeded them.”
– Dominic Burke
“The guys worked with me to pick out what works best for my voice and how best to capture what I can bring to the studio on a showreel. They compiled pieces that not only suited my natural tone and intonation, but also pieces that showed the different sides of what I can do as a voice artist and my strongest vocal styles, pace, and delivery. What makes the whole process so great, is the guys know exactly how to capture the perfect window frame of your voice within your showreel.”
– Brian Hanford
“I had my voice reel created at Voice Over Soho. The people there really helped identify the strengths in my voice and chose my pieces accordingly.”
– Colin Mace
“You will not find a more relaxed, friendly and professional setting to record your voice reel. I love Voice Over Soho!”
– JC Bateman

Our History
OUR HISTORY
Peter Morris set up his first recording studio at 32 Berwick Street in 1997. As a recording artist at the time, Peter knew his way around a mixing desk and, together with his co-director, Mieko Shimizu, soon branched out into composing music and sound design for film, TV, theatre and commercials. A few years later, Peter and Mieko started recording voiceovers as well – and, just like that, Voice Over Soho was born.
Since those early days, Voice Over Soho has grown from strength to strength, attracting a talented team of engineers, bookings staff and financial bods. And in 2017, we moved into newer, bigger premises at 33 Tottenham Street, adding more studios and even more friendly faces.
Today, along with our original studio in Berwick Street, Voice Over Soho has earned a reputation as one of the most sought after audio facilities in London.
