Where the voice comes from

Twenty years on air, and still in the studio most days

Nearly two decades as a radio presenter, including Northsound 1, Original 106 and Metro Radio in Newcastle, plus a spell as Programme Director at Original 106 and lecturing in radio broadcasting at Aberdeen College, where I rewrote the radio production module for HNC students.

That matters for one practical reason: I direct myself. If a line is not landing it gets read again, rather than shipped and hoped over. Most of the quality in a finished read comes from that and from the edit, not from the microphone.

The studio is here in Oldmeldrum and it is in use five to six days a week. For podcast work I bring the equipment to you, anywhere in the North East.

1,909 voice clients as of 1 September 2024, and still counting.
Recorded, edited and mastered in my own studio.
Full podcast production available, from concept through to post.

The straight answer

What it costs

Quoted per script

A thirty second commercial and a ten module e-learning series are not the same job. Send the script or the word count and you get a price.

How long it takes

Agreed when you book

I am in the editing studio five to six days a week, so turnaround is usually quick. The actual date gets agreed when the job is booked, not guessed at.

What you walk away with

Broadcast-ready audio

Edited, mastered and delivered in the format you need. Podcast production is available end to end if you want the whole thing handled.

What I actually record

Commercial, corporate, documentary and podcast

Different jobs need genuinely different reads. Twenty years on air is mostly twenty years of learning which one a script is asking for.

Commercial voice over

Adverts, promos and brand work. My voice has carried campaigns for Emirates Airlines, Mastercard, Colgate and Lipton Tea, among a good many others.

Corporate and e-learning

Training modules, explainers and internal comms. Long-form scripts read consistently, so module nine sounds like module one.

Documentary and narration

Authoritative and cinematic when the piece calls for it. This is the work that earned a five star review in July 2026 for exactly that tone.

Podcast production

Concept, recording, editing and post. I produce the University of Aberdeen School of Law podcast, now into its second season and running for over a year.

Recording on location

I bring all the equipment and can record at your premises, which is usually the difference between a podcast that happens and one that stays an idea.

Audio post and editing

Cleaning up, levelling, mixing and mastering, including audio recorded by someone else. Editing is not the boring bit, it is where most of the quality comes from.

The reel, and a few of the jobs

Recorded, edited and mastered here. Turn the sound on.

Voice over demo reelA cross-section of commercial and corporate reads, which is the quickest way to hear whether the voice fits what you have in mind.

E-learning voice overA sample from a training module. Long-form scripts are read for consistency, so module nine still sounds like module one.

Explainer, voiced and producedScript, voice, edit and mix from one place, which removes a supplier and a round of back and forth.

Explainer, second exampleA different tone and pace on the same kind of job, to show the range rather than one polished best case.

In the studio, five or six days a week

Editing is where most of the quality actually comes from. It is also the part nobody hears, which is rather the point.

“I have worked with Neil for a long time now and he has always been reliable, trustworthy, delivery is always on time. Neil has done many voiceovers for us ranging from TV ads, promotional videos including for large business centres to name a few. Our clients have always loved the feedback and we have never had one person come back and say they did not like the voiceover Neil provided. Neil always delivers, every time on time and the quality is always exceptional.”

“Neil really exceeded my expectations. He delivered the very high quality voiceover extremely quickly with multiple EQ’s. The tone was exactly what I was going for. When I pointed out that he pronounced a word wrong (“Emissaries”, it was a niche word), he made sure it was perfect by rerecording the mistake multiple times. Overall his communication was fantastic, and he made the voiceover process really fun.”

Where I work

Aberdeenshire studio, clients worldwide

The studio is in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, which is where the editing happens five or six days a week. For podcast work I can bring the kit to you anywhere in the North East, from Aberdeen and Inverurie to Ellon, Banchory and Peterhead.

The voice work itself travels a good deal further. Clients have come from the United States, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands and India, which is how the count reached 1,909 by September 2024.

Questions people actually ask

Voice over questions, answered straight

How much does a voice over cost?

It depends on the length of the script and what the recording is being used for. A short commercial and a full e-learning series sit a long way apart. Send the script or the word count and you get a real figure rather than a range.

How quickly can you turn a script around?

I am in the editing studio five to six days a week, so most jobs move quickly. The actual date is agreed when you book rather than promised blind.

What experience do you actually have?

Nearly twenty years as a radio presenter including Northsound 1, Original 106 and Metro Radio in Newcastle, plus a spell as Programme Director at Original 106 and lecturing in radio broadcasting at Aberdeen College, where I rewrote the radio production module for HNC students.

Can you produce a full podcast, not just the voice?

Yes. Concept, recording, editing and post-production. I produce the University of Aberdeen School of Law podcast, which is now in its second season after more than a year running.

Do I need my own studio or equipment for a podcast?

No. I provide all the equipment and can record on location, so you do not need to buy anything to get started.

Can you edit audio I have already recorded?

Yes. Cleaning up, levelling, mixing and mastering existing recordings is a normal part of the work, and it is often the cheapest way to make an existing podcast sound professional.

Do you do video as well, or just audio?

Both. Video production is a core service, and having the voiceover and the film come from the same place saves a supplier and a round of back and forth. See video production.

Where are you based?

Oldmeldrum in Aberdeenshire, with the studio here. Voice work is delivered remotely worldwide, and podcast recording can happen on location across the North East.

Got a script sitting in a drafts folder?

Send it over. You will get an honest read on whether it works out loud, and a price if it does.
