About us
We are a team of professional voice-over actors specialising in voicemail recordings. We are sometimes described as the friendliest voice agency in the country!
The origins of voices.eu
Because we like a personal touch, I would like to introduce myself.
Pleased to meet you!
I am Johfrah Lefebvre, the founder of voices.eu, and would like to use this opportunity to introduce myself. I have been recording texts for web videos and commercials for about ten years. I love to convey texts in a clear and understandable way.
Where else have you possibly heard my voice?
You may have heard my voice on TV commercials for Trivago and Tempur, as well as on various radio commercials for Kwantum or Goossens. If you call the Tesla or Samung helpline, it's my voice that will guide you through the menu. If you take a tour of the port of Zeebrugge, it's my voice that will guide you around for an hour and a half. Something I'm very proud of: just like David Attenborough (the famous BBC documentary voice), I've had the privilege of providing the voice-over for several particularly beautiful documentaries on Canvas.
Television producer
Besides working as a Flemish voice-over, I've also been working as a director, cameraman and format creator for various television programmes for ten years. Together with a small and wonderful team of TV makers, I even received an International Emmy Award for directing the Eén programme 'Sorry voor Alles'. Needless to say, I am immensely proud of that. But working as a director also gives you a deeper insight into a story and allows you to better understand the overall picture. After all, as a voice-over, you're just a cog in a larger whole, but an important cog.
Voice coach
In addition to these activities, I also give voice-over workshops to young starters, for instance to radio students at the RITCS, where I recently got to sit on the jury. I also have a YouTube channel where I give voice-over advice for beginners. (Notice how passionate I am?)
Founder of voices.eu
Since 2020, I'm the founder of the international online voice-over agency Voices.be, with branches in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. What started as a corona project has since grown into a thriving company with international clients. If you're looking for a reliable partner for your telephony projects, you've come to the right place!

About your order
If you order today, the final product will be delivered tomorrow.
As a rule, we guarantee delivery within 3 working days, but in 90% of cases your order will be finished the next day thanks to our production process, which takes place entirely online. Our voice-over specialists have a professional recording studio. Finally, the phone messages receive a finishing touch in our studio. We do this in the same order as the requests come in.
Do you have an urgent order? Please let us know.
Does your order absolutely require it to be ready the next working day or maybe even the day itself? Give us a call or send us an email and your order will be given top priority.
Can I order from any European country?
Yes, we operate in all European countries. By the way, our voice-overs are certified native speakers who live and work in your country of origin. This means we can guarantee correct pronunciation in your native language.
Will I receive the right format?
You will receive your telephone messages ready-to-use in the two most common formats for telephone systems.
- Wav 48kHz 24bit
- Wav 16kHz 16bit
- Wav 8kHz 16bit
But actually any format is possible, including 8kHz 8bit a-law or MP3 and everything in between. Does the file not work properly the first time? No worries: we will work together to find the right format for your telephone system. Our after-sales service is also very helpful.
Music
If you have chosen to have hold music mixed with your messages, our sound engineer will customise this to suit your needs. Your audio files are immediately usable on your telephone system and finished according to modern, high-quality standards.
Digital archive.
We also keep a digital archive for each customer. So if you want to make changes to files later, these can be edited easily and inexpensively.
Audio briefing.
If necessary, you will receive a link for an audio briefing. With the help of this audio briefing, the voice-over actor knows exactly how to pronounce certain names or brands so we can ensure flawless handling.
How do I change my order?
If the voice-over actor has not begun recording, we may still be able to edit the script. If the text has been recorded and finished, he or she will charge a new standard fee for a new studio recording. If the voice-over actor accidentally failed to follow the audio briefing guidelines for pronunciation, you will of course be entitled to a new recording free of charge!
How do I cancel my order?
If you wish to cancel a submitted and paid order, please inform us as soon as possible. If the voice-over actor has not begun recording, we can cancel your order in time. If the voice-over actor has already started, we will work out a solution together. Feel free to call us to discuss the possibilities.
We always go for the best result!
Although we have a customer satisfaction score of 99.9%, recording a voice-over is still the work of a human being. Very rarely, a word may be pronounced incorrectly. If your audio recording is not entirely satisfactory after your text and audio briefing, we will simply do it again until you are completely satisfied!
Instructions for the voice-over actor.
After you have placed your order, we will ask you to prepare some instructions. In this audio briefing, you can specify how the tone-of-voice should be. Should the message sound very cheerful or do you prefer it to be pronounced slowly?
Correct pronunciation.
If necessary, you can use our platform to record your company name, brand name, surnames, number and date notations. Do you prefer "from one to five p.m." or "from thirteen to seventeen hours"? Do you prefer to hear "three hundred and thirty-three", "three, three, three" or "triple three" when pronouncing the phone number? Thanks to your audio briefing, it is completely clear to our voice-over actor how something should be pronounced.
Order without hesitation.
If you are placing an order with us for the first time, you may experience some hesitation. Rest assured: if you are not satisfied, we will not leave you to your own devices. First and foremost, we will do a free new recording, which will be submitted to you for review. Is the voice-off still not entirely to your liking? In that case, we will look for another voice-off actor for your telephone system. Moreover, we apply a reimbursement policy if you are not satisfied! We guarantee the quality of all our voice-over services, because we have carefully selected our voice talents for their quality.

About our voices
What is your brand identity?
The type of voice you choose depends on your corporate or brand identity. What image does your company project? If you have the answer to this question, you know which type of voice you need to represent your company.
Who are your customers?
Finally, customers are also a deciding factor. A company that wants to sound young and fresh will want to choose a cheerful voice. If you often deal with older people, a reassuring and soft voice with a slow and clear pronunciation is preferable.
Our voice-overs provide clarity.
Intelligibility
Does your company consist of several departments? Are your customers likely to raise numerous topics and questions? Then a choice menu is the best solution for your telephone system.
Professionalism
A key point here is that every message should be clear and intelligible. A telephone voice from voices.be also conveys tranquillity, credibility and professionalism.
Feeling valued
Deep down, we don't like having to go through a choice menu. But a pleasant, welcoming voice immediately makes us feel appreciated and better served. Moreover, clear messages allow you to quickly and efficiently direct your customers to the right department.
The choice is yours
What's the difference?
We always communicate what each voice-over's native language is. Some voice-overs also offer a second language. Moreover, you can hear how they sound in the demo. The choice between a single multilingual speaker or several native speakers is up to you.
The advantage of using a multilingual speaker.
You can process all your scripts at once. Your telephone system will sound more consistent. You only pay one single start-up fee for your entire order. Moreover, should you wish to make adjustments in the future, you will also save on the various start-up fees.
The advantage of using several native speakers.
You are 100% certain that no local or regional sounds can be heard in the voice-over. Although our multilingual voice-over talents are highly fluent in several languages, their foreign-language origins will always remain slightly noticeable to a native speaker.
Definitely
But the message also counts: keep it short.
Perception has taught us that the quicker we get to talk to a real person, the more we like it. So keep waiting time and choices as short as possible.
Think from your customer's point of view.
Don't use your company's organization as a starting point. If your customer wants to know if his or her parcel can be returned, the option 'For returning an order, press 2' is more customer-friendly than 'For service and repair department, press 2'. So make sure your communication is easy to understand.
Communicate the main message first.
Compile a list of the most frequently asked questions. Next, allocate these questions to a limited number of choice options. Make sure not to complicate things: stick to a maximum of five topics.
Make sure your system works efficiently.
Give some careful thought to the questions your customers might ask. The better your internal organisation is, the faster you will be able to answer all kinds of questions. If you use a system that links the customer number to the phone number, an existing customer will not need to identify him- or herself in the menu. This saves time and allows customers to navigate through the selection menu much faster, making it a more pleasant experience for them.
Your guarantees
With us, you can order without worries.
What are the warranties given to me?
