Sound Design + Music

Sonica offers a a one stop shop for the whole animation sound process – original dialogue recording, sound design, Foley, ADR looping and final mix.

Three studios linked to four recording areas let us accommodate a large cast simultaneously, or in individual voiceover booths.

For cartoon voice over, narration, dubbing and ADR, we provide on screen scripting with wipes and cue beeps.

We use specialised software such as Final Draft, VoiceQ, Edicue and Ediprompt to keep a close track on a large series with multiple characters and thousands of lines of dialogue.

We can tackle all the dialogue for a cinema feature, a TV series or a 5 second online animation.

Recent voice talent has included Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Micheal Gambon, Jeremy Irons, Stephen Fry, Alison Steadman, Brian Blessed and Alan Davies.

With rates consistently lower than a West End facility, we can give you the time for some real attention to detail in your production. See our rate card.

We don’t pretend to have the space of Abbey Road, but if you need to add a string section or a jazz quintet to your sequenced music, we can accommodate up to 20 musicians.

We know how to deal with time pressured sessions with complex film music cues and multiple mixes. Our engineers are fast, friendly, and ready to listen to what you want for your music.

We have all the kit – fabulous microphones, outboard and industry standard personal monitoring.

We provide superb analogue/digital recording, mixing and mastering facilities, with great processing for when quality really counts.

Just fifteen minutes from the West End, your musicians can use our private parking or take a three minute walk from Clapham Common tube.

Get in touch to tell us about your project – we’re always happy to give friendly advice.

We cover video game sound too; multi-character voice overs, music and sound design.

We have experience with big name games as well as numerous Apps and devices. Storm troopers, dragons and cuddly bunnies all available.

We can also provide composers and producers to suit many musical styles from orchestral to electronica.

Whether you’re an experienced director or making your first short, we’re always happy to give advice on the confusing world of film and game sound – give us a call!

We have two sound editing suites running Avid Protools Ultimate.

We have portable recording equipment (booms, radio mics and HD machines) useful for field audio recordings, patching missing location sound or external interviews.

Our sound design experience ranges from feature length cinema animations down to radio commercials. We’ve produced work for big brand names (Apple, Nokia, BBC) as well as low budget shorts and corporate promos.
