Make your recordings sound better

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.

At Voices.be, we do not deliver "raw" recordings. Every voice recording passes through our mastering engine.

What we do:

• Loudness Normalisation: We ensure the volume is exactly right: not too quiet, but not distorted either.
• Audio cleaning: We remove distracting noises such as mouth clicks or breaths that hinder clarity.
• EQ & Compressie: We give the voice that warm, full "broadcast" sound you are used to from radio and TV.

The result is audio that is immediately ready for use, whether for a small telephone exchange or a large cinema advert.

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.

You can register per edition. Places are limited to ensure personal guidance.
