Voice recording, sound design and song production for language courses for all ages and levels in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, plus English course writing and video production.
Over our 25 years of specialisation in language course production we have produced thousands of hours of audio in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish for publishing companies in the UK, Europe, the USA, Asia and the Middle East.
Our reputation for excellence is based on our first-class voice talents, experienced voice directors, superb sound design, creative song production, great live interviews and sparkling audio quality, as well as a flexible recording system that can bring voice talents together from different locations for virtual sessions and let editors and authors follow sessions on site or remotely, by phone or digital connection.
In Networks, clients find a specialised partner and a personalised service, with a dedicated project manager that stays in close contact with the editorial team throughout the production process, from initial script to final audio master.
Young voice talents were here!
Every year we audition young actors from 6 to 11 years old in drama schools across the UK to ensure that we bring bright, authentic young voices to English language primary school courses across Europe. These kids quickly develop their acting skills and microphone technique, and their enthusiasm and motivation is captured in the recordings.
Talkative teens tell all!
Of course, teens are not always so talkative; at times they need a bit of coaxing, but working with this age group over the past 25 years has been an extremely rewarding experience for our producers, the language learners and the young actors themselves. Many go on to work in the theatre and as TV and movie actors.
French, German, Italian and Spanish
In parallel with the British kids, we work with schools and agencies in France, Germany, Italy and Spain to constantly renew our pool of budding young actors in these languages too, and every year we produce up to 100 hours of audio for European language course publishers.
Let the story begin!
We have been recording graded readers in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish for learners from primary to high school for the past 25 years. We are happy to have been part of many award-winning teams and to have brought hundreds of lively, beautifully read and acted stories to the homes of learners everywhere.
English, French, German, Spanish and Italian
We record audio for self-access language-learning materials and for courses designed for adult learners of all nationalities. Our regular voice talent auditions ensure we maintain a varied offer of ages and accents to our clients across the world.
All levels, all ages, all accents
We regularly call on our excellent voice talents to record exam practice audio for all the Cambridge examinations, Trinity and the British Chamber of Commerce business exams. The wide range of our voice talent accents also makes us particularly suited to producing IELTS practice tests.
From Beowulf to Beckett & beyond
We are proud to work with many talented actors who bring a wealth of experience and skill to the literary anthologies we produce. Early texts and contemporary fiction, poetry serious and frivolous, scenes from comedies and tragedies, all are brought to life by accomplished performers and enhanced by impeccable audio production.
Oh my word!
Working with voice talents from around the world allows us to produce speaking dictionaries in many languages. In recent years we have recorded headwords and example sentences in over 25 languages, delivering over half a million files of high quality audio to major British and European publishers.
A presentation from the archives
Back in the days when we called our service audio4education, we produced this home-made presentation to summarise our audio production activities. Our dedication to producing quality audio for language learning materials was the same then as it is today.
In 2016 we produced our first language course video and since then have been working on projects non-stop, shooting in the UK and Italy. We consult on scripts, casting and locations, manage costumes and props, bring on our video-maker, boom operator, photographer and director and… action!
Great actors and real locations
Casting from British drama schools, we recently produced a 20-scene language course video. Here are a few extracts from some of the scenes.
