How do I choose the right voice for my project?

First, consider your target audience and the platform. A social media video often requires a more active, direct tone, while an instructional video benefits from a calm, clear voice that exudes confidence. Always listen to the demos with your own script in mind.

What is a buy-out and when does it apply?

A buy-out is the fee for using the voice recording in commercial media, such as radio, television, or online advertisements. The amount depends on the campaign's reach and duration. For internal use, a buy-out is usually not required. [FAQ_BLOCK]
