Creating ELT audio that not only teaches, but engages and inspires is something we pride ourselves on. It requires the perfect mix of experience, creativity and attention-to-detail at every stage of production – from casting, to the mastering of the final audio files.

We’ve produced audio for ELT titles in use around the world for publishers including Cambridge University Press – from Primary level to Advanced – and we’re well-versed in the intricacies of ensuring pacing, diction, and voice characterisation are always appropriate for the required learning outcomes.

We work with a diverse range of talented actors and voiceovers of all ages, as well as foreign language voices based in the UK and internationally, so we can produce titles in a variety of languages – as well as provide authentic accents from around the world. We know just how crucial it is to cast the right voice for each character in order to make them really leap off the page (or screen!).

Alongside our extensive SFX and music libraries, we can also create bespoke songs to breathe further life and imagination into our productions. Whether a re-imagined nursery rhyme, an energetic, catchy sing-along, or a contemporary pop anthem for older learners, our hugely talented composers and singers can produce fabulous songs in any style.
