I offer voiceover services across a variety of genres; from animations, commercials, branded content such as imaging and promotions on tv and radio, to e-Learning courses, corporate narrations, medical explainers, product videos, documentary narration and Telephony/IVR. I also work at live events as an announcer, otherwise referred to as ‘The Voice of God’ and present on the radio when I can!

Every client has unique requirements and every job is different. With this in mind, I provide quotes on a project-by-project basis according to the recording and editing time and the intended usage of the audio. However, I am a proud member of Equity, the UK’s Actor’s Union and as a general rule I charge based on their recommended rates.

The audiology booth was made by Eckel, used for the purpose of hearing tests in hospitals and I have re-purposed it using acoustic foam for sound-proof recordings. The star of the show is my Sontronics Orpheus condenser microphone. My chosen recording/editing software is Adobe Audition and I connect with my clients using Source-Connect Standard, Clean Feed, Session-Link, Zoom, Google Meet or Skype.

The nature of the Voiceover industry is fast-paced and I know that most of my clients are working to tight deadlines. I work Monday - Friday apart from UK bank holidays and always deliver audio within 48 hours, usually the same day unless the project is particularly time consuming.

More often than not, I deliver my audio as a raw .wav file, with very little editing/processing applied apart from cleaning up mistakes or removing breaths. This allows the client the freedom to alter the recordings themselves. However, if you require further editing or prefer an .mp3 file, this can be arranged. If extensive editing is required however, this service will need to be acquired from a third party.

I try to give my clients as much notice as possible if I am going away for a prolonged period. I often travel to the South of France as my parents live there, however my mum, Della Phillips is also a professional voiceover artist and she kindly shares her studio with me when I visit. If I am travelling elsewhere on holiday I do try to work less than usual (we all need our free time) but I usually take a travel set-up with me in case anything urgent comes in. I am also a regular festival attendee (Download Festival in June is my favourite) and as much as I wish I could record from a tent, that is the one time of year when I absolutely will not be able to deliver audio! I take time off on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, but tend to work around that time if I am needed (although, most of my clients are probably too busy eating cheese and making mulled wine)!

I do! I have been represented by Nordlings (formerly Excellent Talent) for several years now and they are amazing to work with. Check out my page on their website https://www.nordlingstalent.com/artists/voiceover/abi-phillips/
