Hire The Right England Received Pronunciation Voice For Your Project

The UK is a culturally and sonically rich territory, but even today, many may not realize that there are many types of British accents.

And the same goes for the accents of Wales, Ireland and Scotland too.

When you’re hiring voice over, the accent you choose can make a world of difference. From the sophisticated sounds of England, to the gaelic charm of Scotland, and the melodic quality of Welsh, an accented voice over can completely color the vibe of your project, as well as affect the emotional connection you create.

Luckily, you can learn all about the different types of accents here. Toggle through the UK accent map below and watch our narrated animated videos, to hear the difference that authentic, accented voice over from UK voice actors (sourced from Voices.com) can make.

Countries in the UK

The UK consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, each of which is outlined in the map below. Within each country are anchor points that, when hovered over and/or clicked on reveal the name of an accent that you might encounter in that region, and an audio sample. Note that while the Republic of Ireland is not part of the UK, we have sourced an accent sample from the country so you can see how it differs from the sound of Northern Ireland. The engaging and interesting accents on this map are only just a sampling of the incredibly diverse sounds of the UK.
