A true voice recorded using industry standard vocal processing, the best microphones and top monitoring equipment so that the listener hears your voice at the highest quality.
 
VOICEREEL PRODUCER
Guy Michaels: I have worked as a sound engineer and  voice coach for several years. I combine these skills with the very best equipment and a knowledge of how best to utilise the recording of your voice to produce the very best voicereel for you. The market is forever developing – there are many avenues of work available to the voice artist today that were unthinkable ten years ago. The market has expanded far beyond adverts and a selection of plays. Your voicereel is your audition piece pure and simple. It’s there in their hands, in their CD player, on their computer or streaming from the web. It's
not your experience as a voice artist that matters so much as the quality of your voice and the quality of your voicereel. Quality really is ‘key’ and that is where I come in.

HOW WE WORK
We are a small company that puts you at the centre of its operation, nothing fazes us, whatever your requirements or worries we will listen and we can help. With the correct preparation under your belt (don't worry, we will guide you through this) you will come away with a ‘live’ clear digital recording of your true voice. We have a library of sound effects and copyright free music all digitally recorded and professionally mixed which will enhance and complete your reel. When you record with us your tracks will sound polished and professional but we will not hide your voice under too many special effects or over-scoring. Music and effects will be applied sparingly to give true focus to you and your performance. We not only have access to a massive library of sound, we also write and produce our own. This is a truly bespoke service.
 
NAME TAGS - WHAT ARE THEY?
As technology changes so does the industry. We regularly see breakdowns from casting directors who are looking for a specific voice and want appropriate examples of an actors work sent online. In response to this we offer the opportunity to have your tracks produced with your name recorded as an intro (or tag) before each one. That way when a single track is emailed to people that are receiving many other tracks at the same time, they will always know that file and that voice belongs to you!
