Together we help voice artists look and sound their very best.

Hi, I’m Rob Bee. I help voiceovers to be heard.

Your studio and production tech are at the heart of your voiceover business – I’ll show you how to love the tech and ensure your clients always get the very best quality audio. I’ve helped hundreds of voiceovers improve their studio sound and learn how to confidently and fearlessly use their kit. I’ll give you the skills to confidently deal with any issues if things don’t go to plan.

I’ve worked as a producer in the voiceover industry since 2001 and have been the Studio Mentor for Gravy For The Brain since 2017. Away from work, I love making and drinking beer, live music and bird watching.

Hi, I’m Helen Bee. I help voiceovers to be seen.

I believe every voice over can have a website and brand they are truly proud of. I’ll help you showcase the very best of your voicing talent by creating eye-catching brands and websites. I’ll help you show your clients just how brilliantly unique you are, allowing you to do what you do best – VOICE. No two voices are the same, and no two voice websites or brands should be either.

I started working with voice overs in 2015, but I’ve been building websites and creating brands since the late 90s. Away from work I love live music, my Xbox, cooking and trying to make my garden more wildlife friendly.

Our experience

Collectively we have more than 40 years’ experience in our respective industries working for some of the UK’s most well-known voice overs, TV and radio production companies, advertising and design agencies and independent businesses.

We’ve won some shiny awards for being a great voiceover business service provider that we may have mentioned before (we did at the top of this page). The category we won was voted for by voice artists and we’re super grateful they deem us worthy winners.

And – if you’re after more proof we’re really bloody good at what we do – you can read what some of our clients put on our Google review page.

Why we do what we do

To be completely honest, we both got sick of some companies pushing products and services to voice overs that they either didn’t need or were of sub-standard quality.

Both of us have worked for and with other companies where the hard sell is normal and neither of us felt comfortable with it. We certainly didn’t want to replicate it. We started B Double E with the aim that we would do things a little differently.

We have free and paid services

You can get advice and support for free in our newsletter, at our Ask Us Anything Q&A sessions Q, our online social The Pint and Rabbit, or listen to us on The VO Social Podcast.

The Voiceover Social

The Voiceover Social is a community for everyone in the voice over industry.

There are local in-person socials, online community groups, a podcast and our annual Great Big Voiceover Social – an in-person day event held in Manchester every January. Setup in 2015, we took over the reins in December 2023.

The VO Social is for everyone involved in the voice industry – voice over artists, agents, engineers, producers and every other variety of audio industry folk are welcome to join. 

VO Social Podcast

Join Rob and Helen Bee for interviews, chats, discussions and a fair bit of silliness and fun along the way. This is a must-listen for anyone already working as a voice actor or if you’re just starting out.

Supporting the Bumblebee Conservation Trust

We have joined the Bumblebee Conservation Trust as a business member and have committed to donating 10% of our annual profits to support their work.

Why we support bumblebees

With our surname being Bee, supporting a charity that aims to increase the number of bumblebees seemed an obvious choice. We are both personal members of the Trust (you can join here too) and we recognise just how important the humble bumblebee is to pollinate our crops and wildflowers. Over the past century, their numbers have crashed and they need our help.

Not only will we support the Bumblebee Conservation Trust by donating money, we are also transforming our own garden into a wildlife and bee sanctuary. We will keep you updated as that project starts in May 2022. Already we get a host of bird visitors including robin, goldfinch, sparrows, swifts, long tailed tits, blue tits, great tits, nuthatch and even a gold crest!

We also give packets of bee-friendly flower seeds away as gifts at events and conferences to encourage you to grow your own patch of bee friendly flowers.
