The Studio

Welcome!

A state-of-the-art content studio based at the North East BIC (just off the A19) for podcasting, video batching, course recording and livestreams - built to help you create content that looks premium and gets finished.

And, pricing is simple. It's £150 per hour, or book for the day for £1000.

Leave with content you can properly use.

Most people don’t struggle with ideas - they struggle with time, confidence, and getting content finished.

Howell Studios is designed to make content creation feel simple, supported, and genuinely productive.

Regardless of if you’re recording a podcast, batching videos, filming a course, or livestreaming, our job is to help you

walk out with content you’re excited to publish (and makes you more sales!)

Endless Possibilities.

Want your content to look consistent and on-brand - without every video feeling identical and repetitive?

We can create multiple looks in one session using backgrounds, key branding and even your own props.

That means you can batch content efficiently while keeping it visually fresh.

  • Option for multiple looks in one session

  • Branded environments that fit your business and your 'vibe'

  • A premium, broadcast-quality visual standard

  • Choice of studio furniture to match your capacity and style

  • Choice of audio equipment to suit your content

  • Tell us what you want, and we'll make it! (Seriously)

What Makes Our Studio Unique?

We Edit as We Go

Want to get content made professionally, but worried about the hefty edit costs? Where possible, we'll edit your content live as you record, so editing fees are kept to a minimum. Want to go big and have more creative touches? We'll cater for this too.

TV-Studio Aesthetic

Take your content to the next level by placing your brand and your voice in settings used by the BBC, YouTube, Netflix, and Disney. Professional production values that make your content stand out instantly. So, if you've been putting off recording 'that one thing' - now's your chance.

Full Service Support

We provide studio access, coaching, podcast management, and distribution - as well as an optional concierge service for you and your guests. Everything you need under one roof, managed by one expert team. We'll take care of you with a white-glove service. Want something specific? Don't be afraid to ask!

FAQs

Where are you based?

We’re based at the North East BIC, just off the A19. We'll have a private parking space for you in front of the Studio, but if you're travelling by metro or bus, there are stops very close to the BIC. We can also collect you if you need!

Do I need to be confident on camera?

Not at all. We work with clients who are super confident, but also clients who really don't want to be on camera. We've supported creators of all confidence levels, and we're happy to work with you to make sure you get the results you're after. If you want to use a chunk of studio time towards practice and getting things perfect, that's absolutely fine too!

Do I need to be completely prepared before my Studio booking?

That's completely up to you! The time is yours to use how you like (particularly for the full day). If you want to use some of your studio time towards planning and idea-generating with our team, that's fine. Or, if you want to get everything planned before you arrive, that's all good too! The more prepared before the session, the more content you'll physically be able to make.

Can I bring guests and props?

Sure thing! We can host up to 5 people at a time in the Studio space - so if you need moral support, or actual guests on screen, we can cater for that, just let us know who's coming along. Ideally, we recommend leaving kids and animals away from the space (unless required!).

Props-wise, absolutely! If you have a particular vision for your space and want to bring in visual elements and items, that's fine. Just let us know ahead of time what you're planning on bringing, and we'll make adjustments accordingly.

Is the Studio accessible?

Yes. We're ground floor, and can cater for all necessary accessibility requirements. Accessible bathrooms are available in the BIC building, and if adjustments need to be made ahead of arrival, just let the team know in advance.

How do I get my own backdrop design?

When you book for your session, you'll be prompted to email us with a list of particular responses to provided questions. We'll ask you what you're wanting, such as colours, logos etc - and we'll get it arranged. If you're wanting advanced visual elements that go beyond the scope of our standard offer, design time will factor as hourly studio time.

If you have an external designer you want to use for your background, that's fine too. We'll provide you with the full specs required to make it work.
