The Sound Company
A sizeable proportion of our clients are not UK-based. We regulary work for clients in France, Germany, across the US, Canada, Australia, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Eire, Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Holland, Sweden & so on.

Sessions range from simple voice recording with the client listening/directing via a 'phone or Skype patch - to full sound-to-picture ADR sessions using ISDN or Source Connect.

Producing/directing via a 'phone patch is suprisingly clear & easy. We've even had sessions where a guide track has been played to us over the phone. It works fine! And we can quickly FTP you the final recording - raw, or broken-down & edited/converted to your desired format - or as zipped Pro Tools sessions. We regularly convert to telephony formats.
If the voice artist needs to work to picture - send us a MOV/MPEG.
An easy way to work.

If the time difference is huge, we try to check our emails up to about midnight UK.

We can invoice and accept payment in GBP, USD or Euros. Generally, for the first session we prefer payment by credit card - not American Express. We can set up 30 day accounts for large organizations. Payment should be made by wire.

If required, we can source UK voice artists for you. We charge an extra 20% on the voice costs. Generally it's faster (& cheaper) for you to look at the websites of voice agents - most have online samples.

Searching for an agent for a British "star"? We use Spotlight. An the top left-hand there's a search box under "Looking for an artist?".

Don't be afraid of the distance gap - it's usually of no consequence.

To avoid any misunderstandings, PLEASE read our bookings advice page. Thank you.
