What is good voice-over: clarity, natural articulation, appropriate tempo, and a tone that suits your brand and target audience.
Short definitions that help you decide faster.
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.
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 voice-over project with a media buy-out: TV, radio, Spotify ads, YouTube pre-rolls or sponsored social media.
The rate consists of two parts: BSF (the recording) and the buy-out (the usage rights per medium and term). You will find both amounts listed separately in our quote.
At Voices.be, we do not deliver "raw" recordings. Every voice recording passes through our mastering engine.
The result is audio that is immediately ready for use, whether for a small telephone exchange or a large cinema advert.

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.
