Happy Halloween!
In honour of the spooky season, we thought we’d share a few horror stories from colleagues in the world of voiceover… check out our new blog via the link in our bio!
Want to ace those voiceover auditions? It's more common now than ever that before you book a VO, you'll have auditioned for it first.
If you want to boost your chances of winning that job, don't forget to check that you're delivering exactly what the casting director has asked for, all the way down to the tech requirements: slated/not slated, format, number of takes, file labelling - you'd be surprised how many people don't do this, and their auditions end up in the bin!
What it's like working with Squawk?
"Squawk Voices have become our go-to for outstanding VO artists. We really appreciate the speed at which they respond and provide options."

If you've had your ear to the ground over the last few years, no doubt you'll have heard the continued rumblings about Video Game rates for Voiceover Artists.
Great news then, that UK Equity recently announced that for the first time, they've set minimum recommended rates for the payment of video game performers.

Coming soon! Wish You Were Here by Sanaz Toossi, starring our very own @afsanehdeh
“When I Think About Where I’m From, I Think Of You”
Five friends, three weddings and endless inappropriate jokes. Amongst unibrows, forbidden music and shared wax strips, five women exchange dreams whilst planning their lives together. Playful, intimate and surprisingly naughty, these girlfriends are completely unfiltered behind closed doors.
But as unrest in Iran grows, wedding songs are replaced by sirens and protests break out across the country. Futures become uncertain and friendship is threatened as hard choices and emigration pull them apart. The UK premiere of Pulitzer Prize winner Sanaz Toossi’s Wish You Were Here, directed by Sepy Baghaei, charts a decade of sisterhood and platonic love with raw honesty and outrageous humour.
Through political upheaval and drastic change, can their bonds hold strong, or will best friends forever become friends long lost?
