British accents for voice over
The voices clients choose from the list.
When a client sets up a casting, they pick the accent they want from a list. These are the ones from this side of the Atlantic, and the kind of work each one suits.
Scottish
Warm and straight-talking. It suits charities, tourism, food and drink, and anything that needs to sound genuine rather than salesy.
Irish
Friendly, easy storytelling that suits narration, ads with a smile in them and characters that need some charm.
Welsh language
For bilingual campaigns, public information and anything made for a Welsh-speaking audience, read by a native speaker.
Gaelic
Both are on the language list. Cultural projects, heritage sites and education are where Gaelic voices come in.
Pick your native language
On the application below, choose the language and accent you actually grew up with. That's what decides which castings reach you.
Working from the UK
Your morning is their late night.
Castings come in around the clock, from every time zone. That works in a British voice's favour: some of the work is already waiting when you wake up.

- Wake up to work. An American client who posts at the end of their day has a casting waiting for you at breakfast.
- Deliver while they sleep. Record in your daytime and the files are there when they log on.
- Your hours, your call. You choose which castings to read and when. Nobody books you into a slot.

Questions from UK voices
Asked and answered.
Can I get voice over jobs in the UK without an agent?
Yes. Clients book voices here directly, at a price set from a published rate card, so there's no agent in the middle and nothing to negotiate. If you already have an agent, that's fine too; just tell us on the form.
Are UK voice actors paid in pounds?
Castings are priced in US dollars, because the clients are all over the world. Your fee goes to your PayPal within seven days of the job closing, and PayPal can convert it to pounds for you.
Do clients only want a "BBC" accent?
No. Some ask for a neutral, standard British read, and plenty want something with more character. The casting says which accent, age and tone the client is after, so you only audition for the ones that are genuinely you.
Can I apply from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland?
Of course. Scottish and Irish English are separate choices on the casting form, and Welsh and Gaelic are on the language list. Pick your native language on the application so the right castings reach you.
What hours would I be working?
Your own. Castings arrive around the clock from every time zone, and you choose when to audition. Once you're booked, clients usually want the files within a day, so it suits people who can record most days.
I'm an Equity member. Can I still apply?
Yes. There's a union question on the form; Equity, SAG-AFTRA and ACTRA members all apply the same way, and so does anyone who isn't in a union.
