More about British voice overs

Most people still associate the British accent with the early days of TV broadcasting and the Queen. Received Pronunciation (RP) was a favoured accent of the elite and upper classes in the 19th century and is still practiced by all trained actors today. Of course, times have since changed and even the queen has softened her RP accent in recent years, but the accent still conveys intelligence and high status to the listener.
Most of our projects require a neutral British accent that is very clear and easily understood by anyone, especially non-native English speakers.
