Voice Over Services Near You — Recorded in London, Delivered Anywhere

If you are searching for voice over services near me, you are usually after one of two things: a voice you can hear before you commit, and a team you can actually reach when the brief changes.

Imperial has been delivering human-led language services since 1999, from our office at One Canada Square in Canary Wharf. Our voice over work is an extension of that same discipline. Every recording is performed by a professional human voice artist, directed by a producer who has read your script, and quality-checked before it reaches you.

You do not need to be near us to work with us. Sessions are directed remotely, files are delivered securely, and most clients never need to visit a studio. But if you are London-based and want to attend the session in person, you can.

Why Clients Choose a Human Voice

The voice over market is now flooded with synthetic audio. It is cheap, it is fast, and it is obvious. Listeners disengage from it, and in regulated sectors it introduces risk you cannot audit.

We do not use AI-generated or cloned voices. Not as a default, not as a budget option.

What that means in practice:

  • Interpretation, not prediction. A human artist understands where the emphasis belongs, when to slow down for a clinical term, and how a sentence should land. Synthetic audio guesses.
  • Accountability. A named producer owns your project from brief to delivery. If something needs re-recording, you speak to the person responsible.
  • Consent and rights. Every voice we supply belongs to an artist who has agreed to the usage, the term, and the territory. No scraped datasets, no ambiguity over who owns the performance.
  • Consistency across a series. The same artist, retained and re-bookable, so episode twelve sounds like episode one.

Voice Over Services We Provide

 Corporate & Explainer Voice Over Brand films, internal comms, product walkthroughs and investor presentations. Clear, credible delivery that matches your brand’s register rather than fighting it.

E-Learning & Training Narration Long-form module narration with consistent pacing, correct handling of technical vocabulary, and clean per-slide or per-module file splits ready to drop into Articulate, Storyline or your LMS.

Multilingual Voice Over & Dubbing Script translation and voice recording handled under one roof by the same team. Native-speaker artists in [X] languages, with timing adapted so the audio fits your existing video, not the other way around.

IVR, On-Hold & Telephony Prompts Menu prompts, hold messages and out-of-hours announcements, supplied in the exact format your phone system requires (µ-law, 8kHz WAV, or as specified).

Documentary & Factual Narration Considered, unhurried narration for factual content, corporate documentary and long-form editorial.

Audiobook & Long-Form Narration Full-length narration with consistent character work, chapter-level file delivery and retail-ready mastering to platform specification.

Accessibility & Audio Description Audio description and accessible audio versions of written material, supporting compliance with accessibility requirements across the UK and EU.

Commercial & Advertising Radio, online and broadcast commercial voice over, with usage and buyout terms agreed transparently before recording.

Voice Over Rates

Most agencies hide their pricing. We would rather you could budget.

Prices depend on script length, artist, and usage rights. Commercial and broadcast work is quoted individually because usage — where it runs, for how long, in which territories — drives the fee more than the recording itself.

Looking for Voice Over Services Near You?

Our UK base is at 8th Floor, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AA, with a second office at 200 Riverside Blvd, New York.

We regularly work with clients in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Cardiff, as well as across Europe and North America. Because sessions are directed remotely and files are delivered securely, proximity affects almost nothing about the service — except that London clients are welcome to attend recording sessions in person.

If you would rather talk it through than fill in a form, call 020 8146 3222 or email info@imperialintelligence.co.uk.

Sectors We Support

Voice over sits alongside the transcription and translation work we have delivered since 1999, so the same standards of confidentiality and subject knowledge apply.

  • Legal — depositions, evidence presentation, training material
  • Healthcare — patient information, clinical training, accessibility audio
  • Education & Academia — course narration, research dissemination
  • Corporate & Financial — investor communications, compliance training, internal comms
  • Media & Production — documentary, factual, advertising

Confidentiality as Standard

Scripts frequently contain unreleased product information, patient detail, or privileged material. Every file is handled under GDPR-aligned workflows, with signed confidentiality agreements covering our producers and artists, secure upload and delivery, and controlled access throughout.

FAQ

Are there voice over services near me? If you are in the UK, yes. Imperial works with clients nationwide from our London base, and voice over is delivered remotely as standard — you send the script, we return finished audio. London clients who want to attend the session in person are welcome at our Canary Wharf office.

Can I hear a voice before I book? Yes. Beyond the demos on this page, we provide a free custom sample read from your own script so you can hear how the artist handles your specific content.

Do you use AI or synthetic voices? No. Every voice we supply is a real, consenting human artist. We take the same position on voice over that we take on transcription — technology supports our workflow, it does not replace human judgment.

How quickly can you deliver? Standard turnaround is [X] working days from approval. Expedited delivery, including same-day for short scripts, is available on request.

What languages do you cover? [X]+ languages with native-speaker artists. Because our translation team sits in-house, we can handle script translation and recording as a single project rather than coordinating two suppliers.

What audio formats do you deliver? WAV, MP3, AIFF and telephony-specific formats as required. We can split files per module, per chapter or per prompt, and deliver synced to timecode.

How is pricing calculated? By finished audio length, artist, and usage rights. Corporate, e-learning and internal use is priced per finished minute. Broadcast and advertising is quoted against usage, term and territory.

Do you offer revisions? Yes. Corrections to script errors or misreads on our part are re-recorded at no charge. Script changes after recording are quoted as a pickup session.

Can you match a voice we have used before? Where the original artist is available, we can re-book them. Where they are not, we shortlist the closest matches for you to approve.
