The top tip for your demo files

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.

A quick way to get an indication of budget, approach and planning for a voice recording.

Educational audio content: course modules, instructional videos, training. Often long texts — that is why we charge per word or per finished hour of audio instead of a standard BSF.

E-learning usually falls under corporate (non-broadcast). For public learning environments, a buy-out may be required.

Voice-overs for telephone menus, messages on hold, and voicemails. We charge per prompt (one short message) or per word, depending on the scope.

For larger telephony projects (multi-level IVR, multilingual, holiday and public holiday messages), we provide a package price.

A Buy-out is the fee you pay for the right to use a voice recording for a specific period and a specific medium (e.g. Radio, TV or Online).

How does it work at Voices.be?

For our telephony messages, we use a unique model:

• Unlimited use: For telephony, you pay a one-off fee and may continue to use the recording on your exchange indefinitely.
• Transparency: No complicated annual renewals for your voicemail.

For commercials (Radio/TV), the buy-out depends on the reach and duration. Our price calculator calculates this for you immediately, so you are never faced with surprises.
