ADR Studio & Dialogue Recording Services in London

Our team understands that the ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) process can be a complicated and occasionally alien experience for some actors. So our engineers, audio producers and studios work together seamlessly to create the perfect environment in which the talent can relax, and simply focus on recreating that crucial character performance.

Our newly created large reception space is also ideal for high-profile actors and clients to relax when not recording. 

We have two main ADR suites here; 

Studio 7 is a sizable 'open-room' suite. It's also Dolby certified and was designed by some of the best acousticians in the industry. With space for up to 8 or 9 clients and 3 or 4 main actors, the studio also has mic points and headphone ports everywhere making it a great space for crowd recording too. It features a two meter projected image and several smaller screens around the room ideal for checking sync.

Studio 1 offers a Control Room & Booth setup, is comfortable for 3 actors and 6 clients.

Our EdiPrompt cueing system allows for all manner of wipes, pips, streamers and counters, whatever suites the actor. In conjunction with EdiCue it's also perfect for ingesting large EDLs (Edit Decision Lists).

See the long form work page for ADR related credits, and about us for producer and engineer details.

Each studio will lock remotely with LTC Timecode via Source Connect, audio link up via TBU, or utilise the latest technology to stream the picture live (Skype / Google+ / FaceTime etc). Whatever suites the client's requirements - just ask, we're here to help!
