Voice over agency

It manages recorded voice content from brief to delivery: casting, session direction, recording, editing, quality checks and final files in the format you need. At GoLocalise this also covers translation and localisation, so one team can take your content into any number of languages.

GoLocalise records from £400 / €500 / $550 per hour in the studio, and the buyout — the usage fee — is quoted separately on top, because it depends on the markets the recording runs in, the media it runs on and how long you licence it for. That is why two identical word counts can carry very different totals: a single-market internal video and a two-year pan-European TV campaign use the same studio hour and completely different licences. Both lines are itemised on every quote, and our free usage fee calculator prices the second one before you call.

A freelancer sells you a recording; an agency delivers a managed result, adding casting across a full roster, direction, quality control, rights management and a plan B if your chosen voice becomes unavailable. The bigger or more multilingual the project, the more that infrastructure matters.

GoLocalise casts from more than 1,000 professional voice actors across over 100 languages and accents, all native speakers, with in-house translation and native-speaking direction in the room so the read is checked by somebody who speaks the language. You brief one team once and receive every market back in the same session window, rather than briefing a different supplier per language.

Send your script, even a draft, with notes on tone, audience, deadline and where the content will run. We come back with voice suggestions and a quote — most projects are moving within a day or two of the first email.

GoLocalise has recorded in its own Central-London studios since 2008, at Lower Ground Floor, 86 Stockwell Road, London SW9 9JQ — not a booking desk that hires a room by the hour or a marketplace that sends the job to a home studio. Clients attend sessions in person or direct them remotely, and every project includes casting, native-speaking direction, recording, editing and delivery, run by one project manager from brief to final file.

We produce voice overs for commercials, corporate video, eLearning, animation, video games, IVR, documentaries and audiobooks — all delivered to broadcast quality and ready to publish.

GoLocalise has been a trusted voice over and localisation agency since 2008, with more than 1,000 professional voice actors across 100+ languages, native-speaking directors, our own Central-London studios and a Price Match Promise — so you get broadcast-quality results, on time and on budget.

Yes. Ask us for relevant samples and we will walk you through our approach and share examples so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

We deliver in whatever format you need — WAV, MP3, AIFF and more — at broadcast specifications, as separate files or a single mix, ready to use.

A quote is built from two things: the recording itself (script length, number of voices and languages) and the usage — where and how long the audio runs. A voice for an internal video is priced very differently from the same read in a national TV campaign, because usage licenses the audio for a specific medium, territory and duration. See our voice over rate guide for how the pieces fit together, or send your brief for an itemised quote.

Most single-language projects are recorded and delivered within 24 to 48 hours of sign-off. Multilingual or multi-voice programmes are split into clear milestones, and we can fast-track urgent broadcast deadlines when needed — tell us your date and we will build the schedule around it.

Yes. You can join sessions in our Central-London studios in person, or direct live remotely by video link and hear takes in real time. If you would rather not attend, our native-speaking directors run the session to your brief and share takes for sign-off.

Yes. Alongside our human talent we offer AI voice over for high-volume or fast-turnaround work, with human direction and quality control so it still meets brand standard. For emotive or premium projects we usually recommend a professional human voice — we will advise on the right approach for your content.

It depends on your audience, brand and the feel you are after rather than any fixed rule — many brands cast both and test. We help you match voice, gender, age and accent to the script during casting, and you sign off the shortlist before recording. Browse our female and male voice actors to get a sense of the range.

Yes — GoLocalise is based in Central London, with our own recording studios in Stockwell (SW9). You can attend sessions in person, brief us in the studio, or work with us entirely remotely. Being London-based also means our project managers work in UK business hours and our engineers know exactly what UK broadcasters and agencies expect on delivery.

A marketplace hands you a list of voices and leaves the casting, direction, quality control and rights management to you. An agency does that work for you: we shortlist to your brief, direct the session so the read actually lands, clear the usage rights, and take responsibility for the final result. For one quick read a marketplace may be fine — but for anything on-brand, multilingual or broadcast, the agency layer is what keeps it from going wrong.
