Are computer voices never suitable for business projects?

A computer voice can work for very short, purely informational messages where no emotion or extended attention is needed. However, if you want to engage your listener for longer than a minute or leave a trustworthy impression, the computer voice loses its impact, and listeners tend to disengage quickly.

How is the price of a professional voice-over calculated?

The price structure depends on the type of project. For commercial projects, we use a fixed basic rate for the recording, supplemented by a buy-out for usage and duration. For non-commercial projects, such as e-learning or internal videos, we usually charge per word or per project. You can always request a custom quote for this.

How do I ensure the voice suits my target audience?

It's important to consider the tone you want to convey. Our voices have various demo genres available, such as voice-over or commercial. Listening to these demos beforehand gives you a good idea of the possibilities. We're happy to help you find the perfect match.
