Voice Over Production

COBRA Music Studios is a contemporary recording studio specialising in audiobook and voice over production. We are integrated into the heart of the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre in Newport, South Wales which is conveniently located within a 2 minute walk of Newport Bus Station and a 6 minute walk from Newport Train Station, with direct routes to Cardiff, Bristol and London.

During the COVID pandemic, working remotely became the new normal, and we have subsequently worked with producers from around the globe via softwares such as ipDTL and Source Connect to remote produce. This way of remote working opened doors to collaborating with companies such as Hachette and Penguin Books to produce audiobooks on their behalf with their clients located nearer to us than them. We have worked with voice over artists on projects varying from video games to television adverts, car manufacturer instruction videos, through to radio adverts and radio dramas. We also regularly record audio descriptions and narration for theatre.

Our studio live room presents a beautiful intimate space, that is perfect for capturing and expressing your creativity. Ambient lighting creates the perfect atmosphere for your recording, and our bespoke gobos and acoustic panels from Blue Frog Audio in North Wales create the perfect tone. In the control room of the studio, we have a mixture of analogue and digital equipment, utilising hybrid recording techniques to get the best sound for your audiobook. At the helm of the control room is our dual Slate Raven MTi system, which is always a talking point with clients.

If you have any questions about voice over production, please don't hesitate to email us on info@cobramusic.wales or give us a call on 01633 646393 - it would be great to have a chat over any ideas and answer any questions that you may have.

What People Say About Us

“The best recording studio I’ve ever had the pleasure to work in - and that includes studios in London and Bristol. Jordan is brilliant: a great engineer who knows his stuff inside-out but who also helps you enjoy every moment. Would recommend to anyone. I hope to go back soon!”

Jude Rogers, The Sound of Being Human

“I cannot recommend COBRA Music Studios enough! Really high-tech, with an engineer who knows exactly what he's doing. Jordan did a fantastic job of the recording and production, helping me a create a product I can be really proud of. Jordan is not only great at his job, he is also incredibly helpful and will bend over backwards to make sure that the finished product is highly polished and professional. If I do any more recording, it will definitely be with Jordan and COBRA Music Studios, in the wonderful location of the Riverfront Theatre in Newport.”

Brain Back, The Answer to Life

“It took a full week for me to record the audiobook version of my new book, “Persians: the Age of the Great Kings” and during that time, COBRA Music Studios was simply superb! Hard working, detailed, supportive, knowledgable and so, so friendly, I could not have been in better hands. The post- recording support was just as good. A flawless experience.”

Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Persians: The Age of Great Kings
