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. |

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! |
