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.

What does a professional telephone message cost?

A welcome message or phone menu from a professional voice is surprisingly affordable. The price depends on the length of your text and the type of message (welcome message, phone menu, on-hold message). At Voices, you can see the price instantly for your chosen voice. On-hold music from our library can be added separately. Most clients receive their audio within 1 to 2 working days.

Can I provide my own music?

Yes, you can! You can add your own audio file using the upload button. Please ensure you have the correct broadcasting rights for any music you provide.

How much does it cost to add music on hold?

Adding a track from our library costs a one-off fee of €59. This gives you unlimited usage rights for your project.

Are the tracks optimised for telephony?

Absolutely. All our on-hold music is specially mixed and optimised for the frequency range of telephone systems (300Hz - 3400Hz), so it always sounds clear.

Do you also record voice prompts for IVR and phone systems?

Yes, we can record complete phone menus (IVR) for your telephone system. You provide the options you need, and we will ensure that everything is recorded clearly and professionally. This is ideal for businesses with multiple departments.

How long should my telephone message be?

Keep it short and concise. A welcome message is ideally between 10 and 15 seconds. A phone menu should guide the caller to the correct department within 30 seconds. Think from the caller's perspective: they want to be helped as quickly as possible.

Why Listeners Immediately Hear if a Voice is Truly Alive

Why Listeners Immediately Hear if a Voice is Truly Alive | Voices

A professional voice actor understands a script's subtext. Where should the emphasis be to make the message credible? Which words need that extra bit of warmth? These are decisions we make on the spot in the studio, tailored to the recording's goal.

From script to the right voice actor

Our platform features 93 professional, carefully selected voice actors who are native speakers of their language. Whether it's German, English, French, or Italian, we work exclusively with professionals who master the subtleties of their language.

For example, we have Christina, one of our Flemish voices from Belgium. Her voice is warm, clear, and inspiring, which works perfectly for commercial projects and telephone lines. For projects in the Netherlands, we collaborate with Lonneke, for instance, who brings a completely different dynamic with her young, fresh, and enthusiastic voice. The right match depends entirely on the target audience and the atmosphere you want to create.

The process of a professional voice recording

To achieve a truly convincing result, we follow a fixed and clear process:

The briefing: Together, we determine the desired pitch, tempo, and atmosphere of the recording.
The recording session: The voice actor records the text in a professional studio, where we guide them to capture the right emotion and natural pauses.
Quality control and post-production: We purify the audio of distracting background noise, without affecting the natural dynamics of the human voice.

What about the rates?

When booking a professional voice actor, the pricing structure is always transparent. For commercial work, such as an advertising spot, we use a fixed basic recording fee, supplemented by a 'buy-out'. This is a fee for the use and rights of the recording, which depends on the medium and the campaign duration. For non-commercial work, such as an internal corporate film or e-learning, we charge a rate per word or per project. This way, you know exactly what to expect beforehand. For an exact price, we'd be happy to provide a custom quote.
