I’ve recently been added to the growing roster of British voices at North Carolina-based ProComm voices.
Founded in 1980, ProComm is a talent agency and production company which handles script writing, casting and recording of voice talent, as well as commercial production and sound design, audio post production, IVR (telephone messages), corporate narrations, audiobooks, and more. Their clients have included QVC, Time Magazine, Disney, the PGA tour, Verizon, Anheuser-Busch, and IBM.
ProComm’s Dan Friedman tells me that searches for British voices are a huge growth area on their website, hence their recent recruitment drive, which has recently led to them adding other well-known UK voice talent such as Philip Banks, Julie-Ann Dean, Tanya Rich and Ricky Salmon to their lineup. You can read more on the ProComm blog.
ProComm’s ability to recruit voices from across the globe is just one indication of how the voiceover industry has changed in recent years, with remote working now a routine option which gives you a wider choice than was ever possible in the past. Instead, the voiceover artist’s own studio, or a studio in their home city, can be dialled-in to your session at the push of a few buttons, with no noticeable loss of quality.
Using technologies like ISDN and Source-Connect to link one studio with another means you no longer have to be in the same country, let alone the same studio, as your chosen voice, meaning it’s never been easier to book the voice you really want for your project.
