How do you choose the perfect corporate voice-over for your video?

Why is finding the right tone so tricky?

Balancing expertise and accessibility in business communication is a fine art. A voice-over that's too rigid can quickly sound like a detached announcement, while an overly slick tone comes across as unbelievable to a business audience.

In a corporate video, a suitable voice actually acts like an attentive guide in a large museum: they gently lead the listener, explain the essence without being condescending, and maintain a pleasant pace.

Depending on the video's purpose, you choose a specific sound. A Flemish voice like Eveline brings a friendly and soft vocal quality that comes across very naturally in internal presentations, explainer videos, or company profiles.

Which steps help in selecting the appropriate voice?

With a selection of 94 professional voice actors on our platform, you can find a suitable sound for every type of story. When comparing voices, pay attention to the following points:

• Consider your target audience: are you looking for a calm, warm Flemish voice for the local market, or a French-speaking Belgian voice like Bernard for an audience in Wallonia or Brussels?
• Check their experience with corporate texts: business messages require a specific rhythm and the ability to articulate complex technical terms smoothly.
• Listen to concrete examples: specifically listen to the demos in the category that matches your project, such as a corporate film voice over.

Why does direction during the recording make all the difference?

Director's tip from our studio: always read your script through aloud once before sending it to the voice-over artist. Words that seem logical on paper can feel very awkward to say. Do you notice that a particular sentence causes a hitch in your own breathing? Delete complicated subordinate clauses and opt for shorter, active words. During a recording session, we precisely guide the voice actor on emphasis, pace, and pauses, so that every sentence conveys exactly the right meaning.

How is the price of a recording structured?

The fee structure is clear and depends on the type of video and its distribution:

1. Non-commercial work (such as e-learning, internal corporate videos, or company presentations): the price is calculated per word or per project.
2. Commercial projects (such as commercials for radio, TV, or online): a fixed basic rate applies for the studio recording, supplemented by a buyout for usage rights. This buyout depends on the medium and the period in which the recording will be heard.

Because every corporate project has specific requirements, we always work with a clear, customised quote. This way, there are never any surprises afterwards.
