The battle tested tools ease and empower every element of the voice production process: script writing, planning and costing, asset management, casting, voice recording, dialogue editing, mastering, Integration, QA and Localisation.

I founded OMUK in 1996 with a twin vision: 1. To cast and record voice content for video games that rivalled the best performances in other media. 2. To be a 'no holds barred' R&D lab to create production methods that truly match the needs of video games as opposed to blindly square-pegging games into studio design and practices first developed in the 1920s that serve the simplicity of radio, TV and film, but not the complexity of video games.The current OMUK studios in London are the results of 25 years of challenging everything. Data from 1,000 games have changed everything we do. The outcomes speaks for themselves.

The Vault is unique recording space designed and built ground up with the sole goal of 'liberating performers and performance for games.' The space, the tech, the thinking, the methods free game developers to realise their dreams.

Recording voice ensemble with physical performance is a passion. Having large controllable acoustic space for voice performance enables action to add nuance to performance that is frequently missed in games work. The studio made its mark with music production. Thanks to all who recorded there; for having in their music the sound of Kevin Bacon's great room: The Levellers, Jarvis Cocker, Fun Loving Criminals, Simply Red, The Lighthouse Family, The Longpigs, The Pretenders, Ian Brown, Neil Finn, Richard Hawley, Slow Club, Lulu, Take That, Pulp, Finley Quaye, Embrace, Dannii Minogue... the list goes on... but more than anything thanks to a great crew that dedicated so much to something very special: Mike Timm, Kit Challis and Glover.

From the League of Gentlemen to Emmerdale and everything in between.
