OMUK | The cutting edge of voice recording

Video Games

omuk is the most experienced UK recording studio working with video games. We work with developers and publishers word-wide and have over 500 game titles to our credit.

Studios

The recording studios are designed to meet a wide variety of voice recording needs from solo voice to complex ensemble and facial capture work. We also provide equipment and crew for location recording and performance capture.

Facial Capture

Both studios are equipped with the latest easy set up marker-less facial capture technology from Dynamixyz. One element of the technology is the ability to produce animation in real-time with the studio performance.

Script Writing

We specialise in dialogue writing, proofing, translation and adaptation for video games. We advocate and facilitate ’round table’ collaborative writing. We use real-time cloud sharing enabling writers and editors to work closely together wherever they are in the world.

Talent & Casting

We provide comprehensive UK and US casting, talent sourcing and negotiation. This includes full to-camera or recorded auditions. We also have a comprehensive database of audio samples from actors. We provide full talent signatory services for the US. Every year we see upwards of 1,000 actors and we ensure that on top of household names you will find fresh exciting new talent.

Voice Directing

We have a core directing team of five able to support or lead any type of production. The experience of the directors is diverse, spanning film, television, radio drama, audio books, music, advertising, corporate and of course video games.

Post Production

Superfast, accurate, hassle free and cost effective. Recorded audio can be edited and delivered the same day. We do not automate editing as we consider it a critical creative process. The dialogue editors are seasoned like no others. The art in editing for game use is brought to new heights by the use of software that can hook into development asset databases. We have the capacity to handle millions of dialogue files per year.

Foreign Versions

English localisation (US & UK) is our specialty and we have over 20 years experience localising in-territory for all major languages. Localisation with omuk is driven by the same creative focus and core values that are applied to origination work.

Consultancy & Training

Two of our core values are sharing and research. Video games continually generate new production challenges and complexities. Articulating and developing effective production models and software to meet the challenges is vital for the industry. We have evolved at the cutting edge of video game dialogue production. We are developing both software and methodologies for dialogue recording pertinent to the challenges. What we learn we share.

Software Tools

We are the developers of Creative Dialogue Tools (CDT). The tools revolutionise production, post production and review of voice content for video games. We also develop bespoke CDT sets for developers specific to their particular needs.

Voice for Animation

The techniques and dialogue technology developed by us for video games liberate dialogue production for ‘voice lead’ cartoon and animation.

Dubbing

We provide full ADR services for multilingual dubbing. Services include script translation and adaptation, casting, recording and post-production.

Voice Workshops

We host the ‘Voice Acting in Video Games’ workshop for professional actors run by Laurence Bouvard and Mark Estdale. We also provide expert training in voice performance in video games for drama students at RADA and MA Screen Acting students at the Drama Centre. The workshops are a challenging ‘hands-on’ at the cutting edge of dialogue production for games.

The Best Coffee in London

The studio has become a renowned coffee lovers hangout and for good reason. We have our own little roastery. Every day starts with a roast and tasting. It’s a passion, shared and enjoyed. Choose from a selection of over fifty single estate green beans from the world's finest coffee growing regions but be warned, like tasting a great whisky, once sampled there’s no going back to mediocrity.

Swords

Anyone who has visited the studios can’t fail to miss the ‘armoury.’ Rapiers, Long Swords, Short Swords, Bastard Swords, Epees, Foils, Basket Hilts from quillon to foible, the collection is for sound design and exploring the hidden history of European Martial Arts. Handle with care and hire for authenticity.
