We select our voice actors for their ability to sound natural, not how loudly they can shout. Our roster consists exclusively of professionals who understand that microphone work requires subtlety and restraint.
Directing tip: the power of your conversational voice
During a recording session, we use a simple yet effective technique. Whenever a voice actor slips into an artificial reading mode or a pushy sales pitch, we pause the session.
We ask the actor to explain the message out loud to an imaginary friend, using their everyday words. Only then do we have them read the actual script with that same down-to-earth tone. This releases artificial tension from the vocal cords and restores true authenticity. The result is a recording that sounds as if the speaker is sitting right across the table from you.
How rates work behind the scenes
Another hurdle for many businesses is the fear of unclear costs. Fortunately, pricing for a voice actor is structured logically, so there are never surprises later. We make a clear distinction based on where the audio will be heard:
- Commercial work (such as radio adverts or online campaigns): this includes a fixed basic studio fee for the recording, plus a buyout for usage and rights based on the medium and duration.
- Non-commercial work (such as e-learning or internal corporate videos): here we usually calculate the price per word or per project.
Because every project is unique, we always provide a tailored quote. That way you know exactly what to expect upfront, with no surprises.
From script to final delivery
Once you have chosen the voice and agreed on the rate, the studio work begins. The voice actor receives the final script along with directing notes. After recording comes audio editing, where we filter out distracting breaths and clicks while preserving the voice's natural dynamics.
Our clients appreciate this fast, flexible approach. As our client Gunter noted in his review, you get clear information right from your first contact, working with a team dedicated to quality and service. And should you need a quick adjustment afterwards, we resolve it promptly.
