Quick answers for international producers and agencies booking Belgian Dutch voice talent.
What is the difference between Flemish and Dutch voice over?
Flemish (Belgian Dutch) and Netherlands Dutch share spelling and grammar but differ in pronunciation, sentence melody and word choice. Belgian listeners notice the difference immediately. For the Belgian market, book a Flemish artist; for the Netherlands market, book a Netherlands artist. Voices casts both profiles separately.
Is Flemish a separate language?
No. Flemish is the standard Dutch spoken in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. It is the same official language as Netherlands Dutch but with its own accent, intonation and idiom.
Can a Flemish voice talent record neutral Dutch?
Some artists adapt comfortably to a more neutral European Dutch register, but a true Netherlands accent is the safer choice for a Netherlands target audience. Brief us early so we shortlist the right profile.
What kind of recording quality do you deliver?
Broadcast-ready WAV from professional home or studio setups (24-bit, 48 kHz by default; 16-bit/44.1 kHz on request). You listen to demos before you book so you know what you get.
How does buy-out work for Flemish voice over?
Voices invoices a transparent rate per medium: TV, radio, online, IVR. Larger campaigns include explicit media buy-out terms in the proposal. EU VAT reverse charge applies for valid B2B clients outside Belgium.
How fast can you deliver a Flemish voice over recording?
For most briefs we send a shortlist within hours and final masters within one to two business days. Rush turnaround is possible; tell us the broadcast date in your brief.
Who is the founder of Voices?
Voices is co-founded by Johfrah Lefebvre, a Belgian Flemish voice over artist. On Voices you play demos, see your price upfront and book online. His personal portfolio lives at johfrah.be.
