'I had one good idea and turned it into a £3m voiceover and talent success'
When Marylou Thistleton-Smith started her audio production company in Manchester from the basement of her house more than 20 years ago, the former TV associate producer was the only employee for the first 18 months. She was a tea girl, engineer and even an accountant named Rebecca Temple, who would send assertive emails to clients that hadn't paid their bills. Thistleton-Smith says she founded her business 'on a wing and a prayer and recommendation', an admission which has held her in good stead since setting up The Voiceover Gallery (TVG) in 2004. Her company has since evolved to a second office in London, working on major video games, series, ads and creative projects, mainly in the corporate sector. Employing nearly 20 staff, it specialises in voiceover, localisation, dubbing and sound services. Thistleton-Smith is anticipating turnover in 2025 of around £3 million. Read More: The Briton who invented Alexa is now helping to make AI trustworthy 'From the very outset, it was a personality-driven business,' she admits. 'Reading all our Google reviews, it's clear that even now that's why we're popular. Good quality audio is easy to come by but enjoying the people you're working with and feeling like you're in a safe pair of hands with people that actually genuinely care, that's not very common. 'My ethos was, even if it's a wrong number, I want the person who's contacted us to feel like they enjoyed the conversation. That's always been how I've trained everybody.' Having moved to Manchester 'for romantic reasons' and then finding television work at BBC and ITV, she soon recognised that a long career wouldn't take shape. 'All the other women in the TV industry were older than me. Higher up the rank, we were all single and I just didn't want to end up like that.' She sold her London flat and was left with £100,000 profit, which enabled her to invest into her startup and conceive a business plan for a commission-based voiceover agency with studios to facilitate recordings. Thistleton-Smith recalls having a long chat with late TV presenter Keith Chegwin about microphones and then purchased equipment on his recommendations. She damp-proofed her basement and, by luck, found out her neighbour was a sound engineer who could help set up her makeshift studio. 'I didn't know what I was doing and hadn't researched the market,' she says. The nascent business was given a lift after partnering with a London-based foreign language agency she later bought out. The tie-up also meant a new offering for the northern client base. Read More: Meet Britain's 'king of billboards' who sold his business for £1bn TVG moved into London premises offering low rents after COVID and employed a head of audio, Joe Lewis. Thistleton-Smith says Lewis has been instrumental in developing the business and making the firm a viable audio production company. It has allowed her to focus on other aspects of the business such as the AI conundrum, which Thistleton-Smith says has, for now, dissipated after a panic-filled two years. 'Everybody that's used it through us has realised it's not good enough and so suddenly the conversation has just stopped,' she says. 'It's going to have to pack a much bigger punch next time for it to be valid. 'In terms of wider conversations, the production of series and films is way down to an all-time low. That does affect part of our business, but we've always been protected by a massive range of clients that come from a range of industries. 'We've weathered two recessions and COVID because all of our clients need us to facilitate their clients. So they're fighting to get the contracts and they need us to fulfil those.' In 2022, Thistleton-Smith cast a nine-year-old male autistic actor in a Thomas & Friends show. This heralded the launch of TVG Kids, spotlighting young talent aged five to 16 with an inclusive approach. After spending time with the actor's mother, she realised her own son was autistic. 'It was a massive eye-opener for me,' she says. Read More: The boss who has found 'nature's answer to plastic' The children's arm allows the business to protect itself from AI. 'How do we fight it? By using voices that AI simply cannot mimic,' she says. Her hands-on approach has also seen her return to the creative side of the voiceover industry. 'You start a business because you're passionate about what the business does, and then you end up just doing all the stuff that you were never trained to do,' she adds. 'I was a TV director producer and now I'm essentially head of HR, head of finance and business. 'But I sometimes look back and can't believe I've been on this journey and where it's ended up. I literally had one good idea.' Not sitting still We're 10% growth year-on-year, which is extraordinary given how many people in our space are going to struggle. Leadership team meetings ask if we can just react and not always be worrying. I say their job is to celebrate good news. My job is to make sure that we don't stop and where we need to keep pushing and evolving. You can't afford to stand still. Being a founder There are so many things I could tell a small business owner now that are very easy to implement early on and what I would have benefited from. Like understanding profit margins and how important the percentage of gross profit is. No exclusivity We don't have exclusive representation because it's from the dark ages. The voices can come and go and do what they like. They can work for other people. We just have a database of talent.

Ontario BBQ price sticker shock — why meat is so expensive in Canada this summer
If you've bought meat recently at a grocery store or butcher shop in Ontario, you've likely experienced sticker shock. Beef in particular has shot up in price. This means barbecue favourites such as hamburgers, steak and beef hot dogs will be more expensive this summer. Sylvain Charlebois, senior director for the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, said beef prices have risen significantly. The Canadian T-Bone steak (Right) more expensive — about 60% more per kg than U.S. one (Left). In Canada, steaks travel further, get taxed harder, and Canada is not flooded with cheap imports, unlike the U.S., which imports beef from countries like Australia, Mexico, and Brazil. Drought and farmers selling off and cashing out of the business have contributed to the price increases. Farmers aren't coming back, and others aren't reinvesting in their herds. 'That's certainly something that has a lot of people by surprise,' he said. 'Typically when prices go up, farmers are incentivized to reinvest to actually grow more — but we're not seeing it right now.' Last year, Canada's cattle herd was the smallest since 1987, when the country had 15 million fewer people. Other factors broadly at play in beef price increases include Canada's vast geography, higher labour and transportation costs, carbon pricing and, as well, a limited number of federally licensed beef processors. High interest rates are also thought to be impacting typically risk-averse cattle farmers, Charlebois said. Since January, according to Statistics Canada, beef prices have surged at an alarming pace. Striploin is up 34.2 per cent, top sirloin 33.7 per cent and rib cuts nearly 12 per cent, according to Sylvain Charlebois. In Canada, the price per kilograms for striploin cuts and sirloin cuts has gone up 30 to 35 per cent since December, Charlebois says. 'It's making bison look like a bargain,' he said. Charlebois said on average, beef prices are about $20 to $25 per kilogram — and some cuts are over $100. The significant increase in the cost of beef has also contributed to the rise in food inflation and why many might be looking to swap their steak for sausage or chicken. Charlebois said chicken and pork prices haven't increased in the same way as beef. 'Everything has gone up at the meat counter — but increases impacting poultry and pork have been more reasonable,' he said. Statistics Canada data shows a modest increase in price for some chicken products, such as whole chicken and chicken thighs, in between January and April 2025. The price of a whole chicken rose 7.7 per cent from January to April — jumping from $5.73 to $6.17 per kilogram. Chicken thighs increased by slightly less — 7.3 per cent — increasing from $11.34 to $12.17 in the same period, while chicken breasts saw a slight reduction in price in the same period. Chicken quarters and burgers being grilled. Pork loin cuts, rib cuts and shoulder cuts have all seen their prices increase in the first four months of 2025. Pork rib cuts have increased by 15 per cent — from $7.94 per kilogram to $9.17 per kilogram from January to April, according to StatCan data. Pork shoulder cuts rose by 58.9 per cent in the same period — increasing from $6.18 per kilogram in January to $9.82 per kilogram in April. Pork loin cuts saw a more modest 10 per cent increase from $8.77 to $9.66 per kilogram from January to April. Pork products — including ribs — have increased in price this year. With the price of many meats on the rise, tofu and other meat alternatives are starting to look more attractive. The price of tofu was $2.73 per 300 grams in April — rising only slightly from $2.56 in January. Grill-able halloumi cheese can also be an alternative — coming in at around $4 to $10 per 250 grams, depending on the store and brand. Grilling marinated tofu or halloumi on a skewer with in-season vegetables or vegetables from your garden can be a good way to save money while grilling. Error!
