Consider a building permit. You pay not just for the architect to draw the plans (the base rate). You also pay for the right to build and use it in that specific location (the license). This distinction means a local freelancer does not pay the same as a major brand on national television.
Step 3: Finding the Right Voice and Briefing
We have 94 professional voices on our platform. These cover languages like Flemish, Dutch, French, German, and English. We find the right match for every project. For example, our Flemish voice Eveline brings a very different tone than the Dutch voice Ilari or our German voice Birgit.
Here is a director's tip from our studio: tell us in advance exactly where and for how long the audio will be heard. A clear briefing prevents additional licensing costs later. Tell us the channels (online, radio, or television) and the desired duration.
Step 4: From Recording Session to Finalisation
After the voice actor records the text, we edit it. We handle small adjustments after recording smoothly. That is part of our service. Client EQ noted after a recording for a phone system that we handled a small correction quickly and neatly. This is standard for professional service.
A Clear Overview of Cost Structure
We use fixed pillars to keep costs clear:
- A fixed base rate for studio time, voice performance, and technical finishing.
- A buyout for commercial use. This depends on the medium and duration.
- A fee per word or project for non-commercial work like e-learning.
- Clear agreements on re-recordings for script changes.
