Blaxland Productions

Award-winning Casting, Audio Production & Direction

What we do

What we do

All things audio, mostly radio advertising. Working with agencies and direct clients in the UK and overseas. Covering as much or as little of each production from casting and costing to playout. Whether it’s an urgent last minute tactical script or a campaign with complex sound design we can help.

Projects apart from radio include casting Brand Voices for TV, film and gaming, recording the audio for a Science Museum interactive exhibition, on-hold messaging and IVRs for O2, promotional audio for Procter & Gamble, a BBC Local Radio national campaign, programming for the European Parliament, and audio for the Cabinet Office website recorded in No.10 Downing Street.

Voice Casting

Our aim is to help make voice casting as creative, quick and easy as possible.

We’ll help you find the best voice or voices for your next commercial or campaign.

We’re independent, not tied to any single agent, and thanks to our database of thousands of voices, represented by over 100 agents, we can turn projects around quickly.

Stage one is a shortlist of voices who are on brief, available when you want to record, within budget, and not on competing brands.

Audio Production & Direction

We can cover every aspect of your production, or any individual element.

From legal script and music clearance, voice and music casting, budgets and studio sessions to playouts we can help.

Essentially – we love to work on all things audio and have the experience and awards to prove it.

Whatever your next project is, if it involves audio we can help make it better.
