Voiceover services for animation studio producers

Understanding your challenges as an animation studio producer

You’re orchestrating a massive creative project, and the character voices are the soul of the story. You spend weeks, sometimes months, searching for the perfect actor whose performance can bring a drawing to life. The pressure is on to find a unique, character-appropriate voice that resonates with audiences, but the casting process can be a huge drain on your time.

Beyond finding the right talent, you’re juggling tight post-production schedules. You need a recording process that is flawlessly efficient, whether the director is in the room or dialling in from another continent. Ultimately, it all comes down to director satisfaction – ensuring their creative vision is perfectly captured in every line of dialogue, without endless retakes or technical glitches.

What do animation studio producers use voiceover for?

As a producer, your need for exceptional voiceover talent is constant and varied. You’re not just recording dialogue; you’re building entire worlds and populating them with memorable characters. Our professional voiceover services support the full spectrum of your work.

Your projects often include:

• Episodic series: Creating consistent, compelling character voices for children’s animations, adult comedies, or action-adventure shows across entire seasons.
• Feature films: Casting a diverse ensemble of actors for theatrical releases, requiring nuanced, high-fidelity performances.
• Animated shorts: Finding expressive voices that can establish a character and tell a story in a condensed timeframe.
• Video game cinematics: Recording dialogue and efforts that align seamlessly with character actions and in-game events.
• International localisation: Managing the complex process of dubbing your production into multiple languages for a global audience, ensuring authentic, lip-synchronous delivery.

Quick turnaround without compromising quality

We understand that in animation, timing is everything. Delays in voice recording can stall the entire animation process. We work with you to establish clear timelines that align with your production schedule, from initial casting to the delivery of final, edited audio. Our streamlined revision process ensures that any pick-ups or adjustments are handled swiftly, delivering broadcast-ready files without holding up your animators.

Finding the perfect voice for every character

Casting is more than a search; it’s a creative partnership. We go beyond simply providing demos. We work with your character briefs and scripts to present a curated shortlist of actors who possess the specific range and performance style you need. Whether you’re seeking a grizzled hero, a quirky sidekick, or an entire cast for multilingual dubbing, our international voiceover agency has the talent to bring your vision to life with an authentic and memorable performance.

Ensuring the director’s vision is captured

A great performance happens when a director and actor are perfectly in sync. We facilitate this creative collaboration, no matter where your team is located. We manage live-directed sessions using industry-standard tools like Source-Connect, Zoom, and phone patch, with a dedicated sound engineer on hand to manage the technical side. This allows your director to focus entirely on the performance, guiding the talent to deliver dialogue that perfectly matches the story’s emotional core.

3. Directed Recording Session: We schedule and manage the entire recording session, handling all technical coordination to ensure a smooth, productive experience for the director and talent.
4. Editing & Quality Control: Our audio engineers edit, clean, and master the recorded dialogue, ensuring every file is broadcast-ready and meets your technical specifications.
5. Secure File Delivery: We deliver the final, approved audio files in your required format, named and organised according to your post-production workflow for easy integration.

Voices that bring animated worlds to life

Your characters need more than just a voice; they need a soul. Our talent roster is filled with versatile, professional voice actors who are masters of their craft. They have the range to voice everything from energetic children’s characters to complex, nuanced personalities in adult animation. Most importantly, they are experts at taking direction, collaborating with directors to shape and refine a performance until it’s perfect.

For international distribution, our multilingual voiceover service provides a complete localisation solution. We manage everything from script adaptation by expert linguists to casting culturally-appropriate voices and directing lip-sync dubbing sessions. The result is a seamless, authentic performance that feels native to every market.

Pricing that fits your production budget

We know that every animation project, from a pilot episode to a feature film, operates on a carefully planned budget. We provide clear, all-inclusive quotes that cover talent fees, studio time, audio editing, and usage rights upfront. This means no surprise costs during post-production. We work with you to provide options that meet your financial requirements while delivering the high-quality, studio-grade recording your project deserves.

Common questions from animation studio producers

How do you handle remote-directed sessions with our director?

We make it simple. We can connect your director to the recording session via Source-Connect, Zoom, or a simple phone patch. A dedicated engineer manages the entire technical side, ensuring crystal-clear communication, so your director can focus solely on guiding the actor’s performance.

What file formats can you deliver and how do you handle file naming conventions?

We can deliver audio in any format you require, including WAV, AIFF, or MP3, at your specified sample and bit rates. We will always follow your studio’s specific file naming conventions, ensuring the files can be dropped directly into your post-production workflow without any need for renaming or conversion.

What happens if we need pick-ups or ADR later in production?

It’s a common need in animation. We archive all project details and maintain strong relationships with our talent. If you require pick-ups or additional dialogue recording (ADR) down the line, we can quickly schedule a follow-up session with the original actor to ensure a consistent and seamless performance.

How do you manage usage rights and buyouts for a series or film?

We handle all talent negotiations and paperwork. We provide clear, comprehensive agreements that cover the specific usage rights you need for your intended distribution, whether it’s for broadcast television, streaming platforms, theatrical release, or online channels. Everything is agreed upon and transparent from the start.
