How our process works
We manage every stage of your voice over project (to make things easy for you), from script prep to final delivery.
Firstly, we start by reviewing your script and preparing it for recording. If required, this includes translating and localising it for different international markets. Our team also supports accessibility-focused projects, such as scripts for audio description.
The right voice makes all the difference! So we help you select from our diverse network of voice actors, which is rich with various tones, styles, genders and accents.
After recording, we edit, mix and master the audio, and we can also sync voice overs to your existing video content. We can provide standalone audio files or integrate/burn in completed voice overs directly directly into your video.

What is a standard voice over?
A voice over is a recorded narration that sits alongside original content, with the original audio either remaining underneath, being replaced entirely or mixed at a lower volume.
An example of a standard voice over would be a narration over an animated eLearning video, or a narration over the top of an advert. A voice over would not be the dialogue spoken by actors on screen during the advert, however, as another example.
What is the difference between voice overs and dubbing?
Dubbing involves dialogue being replaced with a new-language performance that looks to match the timing and tone of the original speakers, with lip syncing also sometimes involved in the process.
What is the difference between voice overs and audio description?
The aim of audio description is to specifically add spoken descriptions of important visual information to content for blind and partially sighted audiences. This is provided as a dedicated voice over track, but differs from standard voice overs in its aim. In fact, standard voice over and audio description can co-exist in a piece of content.
The focus of voice overs is on tone, performance, emotion and audience engagement, while audio description focuses on accessibility.
How do I know if I need a voice over?
Voice overs are commonly used for:
- Marketing campaigns
- Training content
- Documentaries
- Film and TV
- Corporate communications
- Entertainment
- Multilingual content
