We’ve opened a podcasting and voice recording studio at our office location at Evegate Business and Retail Park, near Ashford.
The new recording studio has been acoustically treated and users can pre-record or live stream audio content such as podcasts, radio shows, voice overs, video content, interviews and digital audio content.
The Era of Audio
Communications is changing fast both globally and in the UK, the spoken word is fast catching up with written, and we want to be right at the forefront of the change.
Podcasting has become one of the fastest growing media platforms and is estimated that 19% of UK adults (10.5m) are listening to podcasts every week[i] for an average of 6.5hours a week. Globally, there are 464.7million[ii] people regularly listening to podcasts, which is set to continue rising.

From corporate podcasting to broadcasting, audio book editions to self help guides, the studio is set to be extremely popular. Businesses can book out the studio space for a whole day, half day or by the hour. If requested, the Sharp team will be on hand to support with messaging strategy, media training or production editing.
