NKC | Evolution in audio

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 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.

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

IVR selection menu with options ("press 1", "press 2"). Helps callers reach the correct service more quickly.

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.
