How to set up a professional holiday voicemail

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 Flemish voice-over is a professional recording recorded in Belgian Dutch with a recognisable Flemish accent and intonation. Producers opt for Flemish when they want a familiar, local tone for the Belgian market or are seeking an authentic Belgian character in international productions.

Flemish differs from Dutch spoken in the Netherlands in terms of vowels, intonation and word choice. Belgian advertisers almost always use Flemish voices for local adverts; international clients book a Flemish voice-over for scenes featuring Belgian characters or a subtle European accent in English-language productions.

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.
