Directing a voice is like a carpenter's work, following the grain of the wood. You should not go against the natural flow of the voice, but shape the text so the voice actor can move through it effortlessly.
The result: A fluid video that inspires confidence
By shortening the sentences and choosing Annelies's voice, the video gained a completely different dynamic. The message no longer sounded like a read-aloud manual, but like personal advice from a professional. The listener had time to process the information because the breathing pauses fell at the right moments.
The video was well received by the installation company's clients. The project demonstrates that good script preparation and a targeted voice choice are crucial for the end result.
The structure of voice-over pricing
When booking a voice actor, it is helpful to know how costs are calculated so you do not face any surprises later. The price structure depends on the type of project:
- Commercial work: For commercials or online advertisements, you pay a fixed basic fee for the studio recording, supplemented by a buy-out. This buy-out covers the rights to use the voice on specific channels (such as social media, radio, or television) and for a certain period.
- Non-commercial work: For projects such as an internal corporate video, an e-learning, or a telephone system, we usually calculate with a rate per word or per project. In these cases, usage rights are often included without limitation for internal use.
For an exact price that matches your specific project, you can always request a custom quote. Whether you are looking for a Dutch voice-over or a specific Flemish voice, we are happy to help you personally find the perfect match.
