Good questions. Clear answers.

VoicesUK is a curated voiceover showcase and casting platform focused on professional British talent. We bring together voice artists with distinctive accents, tones and delivery styles, giving producers, agencies, authors and businesses an approachable way to discover people whose voices suit their work.

Start by exploring individual showcases and listening to recordings. If you have a project in mind, you can also share a brief and invite suitable artists to record a short audition. We aim to make the process friendly and straightforward, whether you cast voices every week or this is your first project. browse professional voice artists or request auditions whenever you are ready.

VoicesUK was founded in 2013 to help professional British voice artists present their work and connect with clients worldwide. Since then, our network and casting tools have developed, but the aim is unchanged: make good voices easier to find, hear and book.

Our sister platform, VoicesUS, complements this site with a focus on North American talent. That can be useful when a campaign spans markets or calls for several accents.

VoicesUK was founded by Joe Wakeford, a professional voice artist and composer with experience across film, television and commercial production. Voice artist Rebecca joined early on to help with artist liaison; today, a wider remote team supports the platform.

We value direct, human communication. When questions arise about a brief, availability, recording direction or fees, we would rather clarify them than leave either side guessing. Our aim is to build productive, long-term relationships with artists and clients alike.

Yes. VoicesUK focuses on British talent, while VoicesUS offers a complementary selection of North American voices. Depending on the project, you may find artists with additional accents or international experience on either platform.

If you are unsure where to begin, describe the tone, accent and audience you have in mind rather than restricting yourself to a particular label. Listening to the demos is often the quickest way to discover a good fit.

A showcase is a voice artist’s professional home on VoicesUK. It is designed to help you get a feel for the person behind the microphone, as well as the sound of their voice. You can listen to playable demo recordings, read a short introduction, explore vocal qualities and experience, and find practical information about recording equipment and turnaround.

Where available, showcases also include client reviews, professional links, and helpful information about the artist’s studio and working style. Related voice suggestions make it easy to hear other artists with similar characteristics, while the shortlist lets you collect promising voices and compare them at your own pace.

Voice artists maintain their own showcase from your dashboard, updating recordings, biographies and professional details as their work develops. This makes a showcase useful for initial discovery and direct casting invitations, although availability, final fees and usage terms are always confirmed for individual projects.

Whether you already have a precise casting brief or are just exploring ideas, you can browse professional voice artists and listen before taking the next step.

Start with the impression you want your audience to feel. “Warm and reassuring”, “natural and conversational” or “confident and authoritative” is often more useful than a long list of technical requirements. Consider the audience, accent, age range, pace and intended use of the recording.

Use browse professional voice artists to explore demonstrations, then compare the artists who stand out. When a particular script matters, an audition request lets you hear how different voice artists interpret the same material rather than judging solely from existing demos.

Tell us about the project, the voice you are looking for, its intended usage and when you need the finished recording. Include a short script sample so the invited artists know what to read. Your request may be an open casting, directed at selected artists, or a private invitation, depending on the choices you make.

Artists who respond can provide an audition, their requested fee and an estimated turnaround. You can listen, compare and shortlist within the Audition Room. Submitting the form is a request for consideration—not an automatic publication, invitation, booking or obligation to proceed. You can request auditions when your brief is ready.

The Audition Room gives you a dedicated place to review the responses to your casting request. Instead of juggling email attachments, you can listen to the submitted MP3 recordings alongside each artist’s name, photograph, quoted fee, turnaround estimate and any useful additional note. That makes it easier to compare voices against the same brief and script.

You can mark the artists who stand out, build a shortlist, set other submissions aside and revisit your decisions without losing track of the full group. Comparison tools help you listen more closely, and private notes give your team a place to record thoughts while reviewing a project. The recordings remain available for evaluation within the casting workflow; they are not licensed for public use or AI training.

Where available, our audio analysis and casting recommendations add another layer of assistance. They can help identify qualities in a performance and highlight when a recording may be a generic demo rather than the requested audition. These suggestions are there to support your judgement, never replace it: a voice that looks less obvious on paper may be exactly right when you hear it.

When you are ready to move forward, the Audition Room offers a clear route to requesting a booking. We then confirm the relevant fee, usage, licensing and recording requirements before work proceeds. You can begin by request auditions—there is no obligation to book simply because you ask to hear auditions.

Every producer has a different idea of the right performance, so we recommend listening first. The Audition Room presents recordings together with the practical information supplied by each artist, including their fee and turnaround. You can shortlist and compare at your own pace, then use private notes to capture feedback for your team.

When audio analysis is available, it can flag relevant performance characteristics and help organise responses. A recording containing a general demo reel, music or unrelated material may be identified as a generic demo rather than treated as a direct answer to your script. Automated assessments are imperfect, so these indicators should be considered alongside your own listening and the requirements of your brief.

There is no obligation to book an artist simply because you have submitted a project or listened to audition recordings. Before a booking goes ahead, the appropriate fees and usage terms are agreed so everyone understands what is included.

Recording fees vary with the script length, usage, territory, period of licence and production requirements. If a brief changes materially, the agreed quote may need to change too. We believe those details are best addressed openly before work begins.

The voice artists set their own fees. A short internal corporate recording and a national advertising campaign may contain a similar number of words, but the usage and licence are very different. Live direction, editing, deadlines and changes to the approved script can also affect the scope.

We use relevant industry guidance to inform discussions, but no single price fits every project. Artists quote against the information supplied, and booking terms are confirmed before payment and recording arrangements are finalised.

An audition is provided so the client can evaluate an artist for the project described. It is not a licence to publish the sample, train an AI voice model, clone a voice or reuse the audio for another purpose.

For bookings we confirm the intended use and arrange payment before the commissioned recording proceeds. Clear licensing protects the client as well as the artist, and helps avoid disagreements after delivery.

We offer a six-month trial membership for £49.99 and a lifetime showcase membership for £99.99. These are one-off, non-recurring administration fees rather than monthly or yearly subscriptions. They support showcase hosting, administration and promotion.

Membership provides a professional space to present your work and be discovered by potential clients. It does not promise a particular number of auditions or bookings: opportunities depend on client demand, casting requirements and the suitability of each artist’s work.

Yes. We want the directory to remain useful to clients and fair to the artists who join it, so applicants should have professional-quality voice demos that represent what they can deliver. Applications and showcases are reviewed before publication.

If an application is not approved, the administration fee is refunded. This review is intended to maintain a curated professional standard, not to favour one particular vocal style or accent.

The refreshed showcase presents your recordings and professional information in a format designed for casting decisions. Visitors can hear your playable demos, review your vocal characteristics, learn about your studio setup and experience, and see feedback where it has been provided. Clear availability and turnaround details can also help a client decide whether to enquire.

Our search tools and related-voice recommendations help clients discover artists whose recorded style and showcase information may suit a brief. The more accurately your showcase represents your actual voice, production quality and working arrangements, the more useful those matches can be. Being included in a search or shortlist is not a booking guarantee.

Keep the information up to date through your dashboard, particularly your showreels, contact routes, equipment and availability. A strong showcase should give a busy producer confidence about what they are hearing and how to take the next step.

Absolutely. Your showcase should develop with your career. Through your dashboard you can maintain your biography and professional details, update demos and keep your availability and other information relevant to potential clients.

Accurate, current information helps people discover appropriate voices and decide who to invite. When replacing audio, use representative recordings that demonstrate your real production quality and vocal range.

Artists with published showcases can view audition opportunities for which they are eligible and manage their notification preferences. Some castings are open to eligible artists; others are private and available only to the artists invited by the client.

Make sure your showcase stays published and your notification preferences reflect how you want to work. You can review opportunities from your dashboard or use the talent login page if you need to sign in.

Our showcase service is supported by non-recurring membership administration fees: £49.99 for a six-month trial or £99.99 for lifetime membership. This covers the showcase service rather than guaranteeing jobs or charging artists a recurring subscription.

For casting and managed bookings, additional service fees may apply. The original model has included an automated casting charge of 20% added to the artist’s quoted fee—not deducted from it—and managed-service charges that depend on the scope of the work. Any applicable charges should be confirmed with the individual project rather than assumed from a general example.

We continue improving the ways clients discover voices, compare auditions and communicate with artists, while keeping the experience personal. Better search, clearer showcasing and more convenient casting tools should make it easier for both sides to concentrate on the performance rather than the administration.

We also want to keep supporting a varied community of professional voice artists, from established names to talented newer members with strong demos and reliable studios. The goal is not to become a faceless volume marketplace; it is to make good working relationships easier to begin.
