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 Voiceover 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
“Voiceover 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 Voiceover 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 Voiceover 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 Voiceover Soho!”
– JC Bateman

About us
ABOUT US
Voiceover Soho is a sound design and audio post-production studio in the beating heart of London.
With three decades of experience, we’re trusted by some of the UK’s biggest advertising agencies, TV channels, and major film studios to get their audio pitch perfect. From voiceovers and sound design to music composition and broadcast mixing, our friendly team of sonic stylists will take care of everything. All while you kick back in our comfy studios with a locally sourced, soya flat white (that might just be the ad agency types).
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, Voiceover Soho was born.
Since those early days, Voiceover 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, Voiceover Soho has earned a reputation as one of the most sought after audio facilities in London.
