Can you help me choose the right medium or a buy-out?

Certainly. Medium refers to where the voice will be deployed (e.g., internal video, web, radio, TV, etc.). Buy-out defines the usage period and geographic regions. You can specify these details step-by-step in the price preview; if you're unsure, simply provide a brief description of the voice's intended purpose.

How do quotes work, what is a buyout, and how do I choose the right medium?

A quote is a bespoke, written price quotation. A buy-out refers to where and for how long you are permitted to use the voice (e.g., TV, radio, online). Select your medium in the calculator or quotation flow; this will ensure the price reflects your intended use.

I'm looking for the right voice for my video, explainer, or commercial. Where should I start?

Start by listening: choose a few demos that match your tone. Then I'll help you with usage, buy-out or a quote when your script is ready.

What is the difference between a demo recording and a workshop?

A voice demo is a short professional recording of your voice for your portfolio. A workshop is live coaching: feedback, technique, and practice with other participants. For casting with Voices, you book voice talent via the showcase; Studio helps you improve your own recording skills. See also home demo versus studio .

How does ordering work?

Here is how it works: 1. Listen to the demos and pick a voice for your phone system. 2. Enter your texts. You can also use our simple text generator. 3. Add hold music if you want. 4.

When to choose AI and when a human voice-over?

AI (such as Johfrai) is suitable for a quick preview of your own text. Human voices remain the choice for brand, emotion, broadcasting, and customer contact. At Voices, you book real actors; Johfrai is available at /johfrai/ as an additional Flemish AI voice. Read more in AI versus human voice-over .

Do I need experience for a beginner's workshop?

No. Beginner workshops start from scratch: breath, articulation, and microphone technique. For each workshop, please check the stated level on /studio/ . Want to practise at home before you come? Check out Voices Academy for online lessons.

What does a professional phone message cost?

The price depends on how long your text is and which message you need (welcome, menu or hold). As soon as you pick a voice, you see what it costs. Hold music is optional.

Glossary

Terms used in this article

Short definitions that help you decide faster.

Flemish voice-over
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.
Scratch track (guide track)
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.
Outside office hours
A message that plays when you do not answer outside of opening hours, with a next step for the caller.
Phone menu
IVR selection menu with options ("press 1", "press 2"). Helps callers reach the correct service more quickly.
Telephony
Voice-overs for telephone menus, messages on hold, and voicemails. We charge per prompt (one short message) or per word, depending on the scope.
For larger telephony projects (multi-level IVR, multilingual, holiday and public holiday messages), we provide a package price.
IVR
An IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is an automated telephone system that allows callers to make choices in a menu via their keypad or voice.

Why is a good IVR voice important?

An IVR is often a customer's first point of contact with your company. A warm, professional voice in your menu ensures:
- Reduced frustration: Clear instructions help callers reach the right department faster.
- Professional image: Instead of a robotic standard voice, you project authority and friendliness.
- Efficiency: Your team is only connected with relevant enquiries.
At Voices.be, we ensure your IVR scripts are not only technically perfect (8kHz), but also sound human and inviting.
