Voicereels Reviews 17

What a pleasure working with Andy at Voicereels!

From the outset, Andy’s experience in end-to-end demo production really shone through in how he approaches the whole process. We recorded two demos, Animation and Anime, and I’m really pleased with the final result.

Andy was friendly, a great communicator, and professional throughout. From the initial consultation, he really took the time to understand what I was aiming for with both demos. That carried through into character and script selection and script editing, followed by a workshop-style consultation where we did test reads of each character, fine-tuning them in preparation for the main recording.

The main recording session was directed by Emily Jardine, who got the absolute best reads out of me, with Andy also involved and guiding the session. They made me feel really comfortable while still making sure we got the strongest possible reads.

From there, Andy handled the final mixing and production of the demos and really made them sound awesome, in my humble opinion.

If you’re ready to get your first professional demo done, or looking to create an updated one, I’d highly recommend Andy and his team!

My demo has now been rejected three times, and the feedback remains very vague and generic.

I understand the need for a decent microphone, a clean signal, and a reasonably controlled recording environment. That is completely fair. What feels wrong to me is that the platform seems to expect voice artists to present themselves almost like finished production companies rather than artists.

A client should first be able to hear the actual voice, the tone, texture, control, interpretation, and acting ability. That is the whole point of a demo. The final artistic and technical polishing should come later, according to the client’s own standards and workflow.

I am a voice artist, not a post-production house.

What is especially frustrating is that I carefully removed the breath noises from my file, yet I received the same general moderation response again. If there is a specific issue, then it should be identified precisely. Otherwise, I have no way of knowing what actually needs to be improved.

At the moment, the process feels template-based rather than file-specific. And when repeated generic rejections are combined with paid services for polishing and improving material, it inevitably creates an uncomfortable impression.

I am not against quality standards. I am against a model that seems to prioritise packaging over the actual artist.

A clean recording is reasonable. Expecting artists to sound like fully polished products before they are even accepted does not feel fair.

That is exactly where the logic begins to wobble: if the client is supposedly listening for tone, character, emotional truth, and vocal identity, then what should matter is the naked core of the voice, not a carefully buffed and inflated substitute dressed up as a finished product. If I were offering myself as a studio or production provider, that would make perfect sense. Then the processing chain, the polish, and the before-and-after transformation would be central to the offer. But as a voice artist, I am not auditioning as a portable post-production department. I am presenting the potential, identity, and expressive substance of my voice.

For me, the stronger principle would be simple: let the client hear the artist first, and let production come after. If the platform places such heavy emphasis on post-production polish, mic technique, noise control and finished-demo standards, then restricting demo submissions to compressed MP3/MP4 formats feels conceptually inconsistent. It suggests that perceived packaging matters more than truly evaluating the best raw audio material.

UPDATE – In response to Voicereels' reply:

Voicereels claims I had "zero engagement" with them and that my review describes a relationship that does not exist.

That is misleading.

Voquent writes on its own website: "Voquent's team are the same powerhouse behind Voicereels."

Voicereels writes on its own website: "Voicereels was born from the same team behind Voquent."

This is the same team and leadership operating a tightly connected ecosystem under two brands. My experience with that team is therefore clearly relevant to understanding the wider model in which both brands operate.

Particularly noteworthy is the following: Voicereels advertises on its own order page, as part of its paid packages, "instant Voquent approval" as a purchasing benefit. The same page also lists demo verification, mixing, mastering, and Voquent profile optimisation as included services.

At the same time, Voquent stated in its public reply: "Voquent does NOT offer demo editing or polishing services for those who fail moderation."

Technically, that wording may be correct in a narrow sense. But Voicereels, run by the same team, offers precisely those kinds of paid reel-production, verification, and optimisation services, while explicitly tying them to Voquent.

This creates the appearance of a tightly closed commercial loop: rejection or non-acceptance in one part of the ecosystem, and a paid optimisation path in another.

My criticism was never directed at professional standards. It was directed at this model.

Their reply has not changed that.

I’ve worked with Andrew at Voicereels twice now, and both experiences have been outstanding. He previously produced my corporate, IVR, eLearning, and political reels, and most recently my commercial reel—and each time his Scottish hospitality, professionalism, and meticulous attention to detail really stood out.

I’m a perfectionist, and Andrew took that completely in stride, balancing my creative instincts with a sharp, up-to-date understanding of current industry standards. The process felt collaborative, grounded, and confidence-building rather than restrictive.

Emily was also a fantastic director—clear, supportive, and instinctive—making the sessions efficient and creatively satisfying. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Voicereels to any voice artist who wants work that’s both authentic and competitive. I certainly will again!

The entire experience was very helpful for me. As a voice artist just starting his career there was a lot about the industry and the technical side of the work that I was uneducated on (hense why I wanted a reel made professionally).

I worked with Andrew to create a character showreel to show off my range to agencies. He was an amazing wealth of knowledge and helped me understand the intricacy of voice work recording, what makes a good reel, and even how to make my own voice recording set up at home! Their website is so so helpful and goes indepth about all the FAQ you may have.

When it came to script work and recording, Andrew was very receptive of my needs and wants, and picked out and edited scripts to make the best of my voice. We did test reads of scripts and we had a great workshop style session on character direction and delivery.

When it came to recording the final project, Andrew set up a studio with an amazing professional named Simon at London Voiceover Studio, who himself gave me invaluable insight into voice editing. The professional voice director Emily Jardine was brought on to direct me in the booth and she did such a phenomenal job of making me feel safe, comfortable and confident in my vocal availability even though it was my second time ever in the booth!

With all the knowledge I've gained and help I've received from Voicereels.com, I've since gone on to work professional projects right from home!

Over all, Voicereels.com has helped me kick start my voice career in a way I never expected when I first decided to work with them, and if you choose to work with them- I'm sure you'll feel the same way!

Working with Andy and director Emily Jardine was wonderful. They understood my unique asks as an African voice artist seeking to re-brand in the international market, and patiently walked me through the script and music selection process and final recording. I loved the whole experience. And one year later, the demo reel is still making waves and impressing clients. I highly recommend!

Andrew and his team were terrific to work with! I have had a number of voiceover demo production experiences and working with Voicereels with the best, by far. From the script composition to the voiceover direction, everyone was dedicated and professional! The one-on-one, indivualized service was truly special. I never felt like they were "going through the motions." High recommend!

If you are fortunate to work with Andrew, he is amazing. I worked with him to produce 4 great demo reels. He was kind, patient, professional, very knowledgeable about everything in the voiceover industry, and on top of that the reels were top notch quality. He really took the time to ensure I had everything I needed to launch. Cant express my gratitude enough. Thank you!

Wonderful experience having the team at Voice Reels produce my voiceover demos. Super professional, thoughtful, communicative. Andrew was a delight to work with! The whole operation is a really lovely resource for casting, scripts and demo creation. Highly recommend.

Nothing was too much trouble for the team as we did my voice reels. Their help, support, guidance and production all helped the process go so smoothly. Thanks Jamie for everything.

Great to work with Andrew at Voicereels whom delivered above and beyond. One thing that stood out was the ease and manner in which my reels came together. Ironically my V/O coach also works with Voicereels, as a Director during recording sessions, brought an extra level of confidence to everything. Thank you Voicereels...

Working with Andrew Langfield to produce my reels was super fun and rewarding. He helped in myriad ways, always full of advice and support. The process as a whole was so worthwhile - I'm very very happy with the results and couldn't recommend both Andrew and the Voicereels/Voquent team more highly. Thanks Andy!

It was a pleasure to work with Jamie Telford. I made 2 reels and he was very professional and patient with me as I wanted to be very hands-on through the whole process. I was able to take my time selecting and editing the scripts and getting external coaching. The production quality is excellent and I am very pleased with the results. Highly recommend!

Working with Andrew Langfield was a pleasure! He crafted 3 demo reels, complete with scripts and a very capable director to help with my performance, tone, cadence etc. His detailed approach allowed me to focus on delivering performances that showcase my strengths and diversity. Highly recommended!

It was very rewarding to work with Andrew and Aleks on my voicereels. Each step of the way was a refreshing conversation, a back-and-forth which never wandered off into pressure to get to the next step. Aleks was extremely responsive to my feedback regarding the mixes, and having been provided both the reels and source mixes independently was a real positive bonus for me. Plus, the price was more than fair.

I'd been looking to get some reels done and update my demos for a while but wasn't sure exactly what I needed. Working with Andrew and the team has been fantastic, right from the first email nothing was too much trouble, from selecting the scripts and music to the recording process, it's been so easy and the results are fantastic, I'm delighted with my reels and new demos. I can't recommend them enough.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional Reel I received. The team went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction, and I couldn't be happier.
Their professionalism, friendliness, and willingness to assist made my experience truly enjoyable.

Fantastic reel service with support throughout the process. Plenty of time to rehearse scripts, practice reads, including a session with a leading producer. End result is magic. Very very satisfied and I’d highly recommend Voicereels.
