Educational Voice
Educational Voice is a professional 2D animation studio and strategic consultancy based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Founded in 2019 by Michelle Connolly, a former primary school teacher, the company produces professional animated content for businesses, educational institutions, public sector organisations, and commercial clients across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales.
The studio specialises exclusively in 2D animation, covering the full spectrum of animated content formats used in business and education. Its core services include educational animation, explainer video production, sales animation, corporate training animation, healthcare animation, financial services animation, interactive animation, and commercial animation. Educational Voice also operates a strategic consultancy practice, advising clients on audience targeting, brand messaging, market entry strategies, and content strategy before and alongside animation production.
Educational Voice is best known for its long-term production partnership with LearningMole, a major online learning platform serving children and young learners. The studio has produced over 3,300 educational animations for LearningMole covering subjects including STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), financial literacy, history, and primary curriculum content. Notable productions from this partnership include the Financial Literacy animation series, which uses a character named Jamal to explain budgeting, inflation, and economic concepts to children aged 8 to 14, and the Stories, Histories, Heroes series, which profiles influential inventors and visionaries from the world of STEM.
Beyond its work in education, Educational Voice produces commercial animations for small and medium-sized enterprises across the UK and Ireland, corporate training animations for human resources departments and learning and development teams, sector-specific animated content for healthcare providers and financial services companies, and interactive animations for organisations requiring audience participation built into their content. The studio has delivered over 50 commercial animation projects and over 20 interactive animations alongside its extensive educational production work.
Educational Voice operates from the McSweeney Centre, 31 Henry Place, Belfast, BT15 2AY, Northern Ireland. The company serves clients throughout Belfast, across Northern Ireland, throughout the Republic of Ireland, and across the wider United Kingdom, including businesses and organisations in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff, and other major UK cities. The studio positions itself as a professional animation partner for organisations that need broadcast-quality 2D animation without enterprise-level production budgets.
Michelle Connolly leads the studio as founder and director, bringing her background in primary education, business development, and cross-border market expansion to the company's strategic and creative direction. Her teaching experience directly informs Educational Voice's approach to structuring information for comprehension and retention, a principle applied across all animation formats the studio produces.
