Equalise like a pro

A temporary, rough recording — often recorded by the director, editor, or the client themselves — that serves as a timing reference for the final voice actor.

The scratch track is not final audio. It is used to finalise the animation or edit before the real voice-over arrives.

Not every telephone system or medium is the same. That is why Voices.be delivers your recording in three specific formats by default:

1. 8kHz (Telephone Quality): Specially optimised for older telephone lines and analogue exchanges. It may sound "thinner", but it prevents crackling on the line.
2. 16kHz (VoIP Standard): The gold standard for modern digital exchanges (such as 3CX, Teams, or Cloud telephony). Clear and professional.
3. 48kHz (Studio Quality): The highest resolution for use in videos, presentations or as a source file for your own archive.

By providing these three formats, we guarantee that your message will sound crystal clear on every device.

A voice-over project with a media buy-out: TV, radio, Spotify ads, YouTube pre-rolls or sponsored social media.

The rate consists of two parts: BSF (the recording) and the buy-out (the usage rights per medium and term). You will find both amounts listed separately in our quote.

At Voices.be, we do not deliver "raw" recordings. Every voice recording passes through our mastering engine.

What we do:

• Loudness Normalisation: We ensure the volume is exactly right: not too quiet, but not distorted either.
• Audio cleaning: We remove distracting noises such as mouth clicks or breaths that hinder clarity.
• EQ & Compressie: We give the voice that warm, full "broadcast" sound you are used to from radio and TV.

The result is audio that is immediately ready for use, whether for a small telephone exchange or a large cinema advert.

A pickup is a small re-recording of a specific part of your script, for example, because the text has changed or a name needs to be pronounced differently.

How does it work with us?

Thanks to your personal vault at Voices.be, arranging pickups is very simple:

• Consistency: We use the same voice actor and the same studio settings, so the new sentence blends seamlessly with the rest.
• Speed: You don't have to restart the entire project.
• Cost-saving: For a small text change or an error after the retake period, we normally charge a flat rate of €75. For larger changes, the voice actor decides on the rate.

This ensures your communication always stays up-to-date without having to start from scratch every time.
