Studios are available seven days a week, including same-day bookings where the diary allows.

Voiceover Studio Hire London: Book a Session at Soho Sonic

If you are looking to hire a voiceover studio in London, the decision usually comes down to three things: location, what is included, and whether the studio can turn around a session at short notice. This page covers all three.

What’s included in voiceover studio hire at Soho Sonic

Every hire includes the engineer, the room, and everything in it — there is no dry hire option and no extras to add on.

In practice, that means: an acoustically treated vocal booth, a Neumann large-diaphragm condenser microphone, Neve preamp gain staging, a full Pro Tools session, and an engineer who manages levels, runs the recording, and delivers your files in your required format at the end. Source-Connect is available at both studios for remote direction — see below.

There is nothing to set up, no equipment to bring, and no technical preparation required. The studio is ready when you arrive.

Two central London studios

Soho — 15–19 Great Titchfield Street, W1W 8AZ. Four minutes’ walk from Oxford Circus. Central for talent coming from anywhere in London, and easily accessible for agencies and production companies based in the West End.

Camden — 199 Queen’s Crescent, NW5 4DS. Close to Kentish Town West Overground. A practical option for artists and clients based in north London who want a professional facility without travelling into the centre.

Both studios run identical equipment: Neumann microphones, Neve preamps, Pro Tools. Both are acoustically treated. Both are available seven days a week, including early mornings and evenings.

Hourly hire, half-days, and full days

Studio hire is available by the hour with a minimum booking of two hours for voiceover sessions. Most commercial spots and short narration sessions are done in two to three hours. Long-form narration, e-learning modules, and audiobook recording typically run to half-day or full-day bookings.

What to expect by session type:

A standard commercial voiceover — one spot, a few takes, client approval — will usually run to two to three hours including setup, takes, selects, and file delivery.

Corporate narration or e-learning — multiple scripts, several voices, or a long script with scene changes — typically requires a half-day minimum.

Audiobook recording — sold by the day or across multiple sessions depending on the length of the work.

If you are not sure how long to book, tell us the script length and the number of artists and we will advise. It is always easier to release unused time than to rush a session.

Remote direction via Source-Connect

For agencies, directors, and production companies who cannot be in the room, Soho Sonic offers remote direction via Source-Connect — the broadcast-standard remote recording platform used by studios and networks worldwide.

The voice artist records in London. The director or client joins the session from wherever they are, hears the recording in real time, communicates with the talent between takes, and signs off on the final read. Both ends are captured at broadcast quality — not via a compressed internet call.

This is now standard practice for international commercial campaigns, London talent directed by US or European agencies, and any session where travel is not practical. If your production requires ISDN or another remote recording method, contact us to discuss alternatives.

Short-notice and same-day bookings

Many voiceover sessions — particularly commercial and broadcast work — come up at short notice. Soho Sonic accommodates urgent bookings where the diary allows. If you need a session this week or today, the fastest route is to call us directly rather than emailing.

We work regularly with production companies and agencies that need a reliable studio on tight turnarounds. If we cannot accommodate the exact time you need, we will tell you clearly and quickly so you can make alternative arrangements.
