Character Reel

Rate £332.50 + VAT (£399)

First Session: 90-min Workshop & Consultation

Second Session: 90-min Recording

This reel is for workshopping and recording character voices typically featured in an animation or audio story, from tiny chipmunks to sentient computer programs. To make your reel effective, you will need some expertise in managing and shaping your voice. An engineer will guide and direct you through every step of your sessions, enabling you to perfect your script and character voices to ensure you have the variation necessary for a high-quality reel. You should aim to have a reel of around 15 distinct and well-formed characters.

Before opting for this reel please ensure that you can produce:

• Your own character scripts, roughly 5-10 seconds in length

• Can create 15-20 unique character voices

Prior to your script session with your engineer, it is required that you undertake a 15-minute phone consultation to discuss and specific requirements you may need.

VOS TIP: It often helps to imagine a small variety of scenarios where all these characters can exist and engage with one another. Think of places like enchanted forests or pirate bays. This is not essential but can be very useful when trying to showcase how your character’s voices would work in an animated or audio story environment.

Your engineer will go through your rough scripts with you and workshop your characters until you are ready to record.

First Sesson: 90-min workshop with your engineer to develop your scripts, scenarios and character voices.

Second Session: 90-min recording session.

TURNAROUND: Your engineer will require 2-3 weeks to complete the your edit, production mix and mastering session with innovative music and sound design to be completed solely by your engineer.

PLEASE NOTE: The best characters, scenes and lines are chosen and carefully edited to create a quickfire reel.

Reel deposits are non-refundable although sessions can be rearranged if required.

“Working with Voiceover Soho was an absolute pleasure! Kay was so helpful in booking me in and a pleasure to chat with about the VoiceOver business. Megan took care of my consultation, recording session and final product; fun to work with, welcoming and supportive – and even consulted me on final tweaks and edits to get the best possible result.”

“I immediately felt at ease the minute I went into Light Year Studios to record a voice-over showreel through Voice Over Soho. The staff were very welcoming and the main atrium was relaxing, as was the studio itself. The engineer (Archie) guided me through the process, he took the time to explain everything, no question was too much. I was delighted that Nige enhanced my experience so I could get some good social media footage and was extremely happy with the final product itself, with fabulous sound design aptly placed beneath my narration. I highly recommend both Light Year Studios and Voice Over Soho from both a technical and client service perspective.”
