Can you help me choose the right medium or a buy-out?

Certainly. Medium refers to where the voice will be deployed (e.g., internal video, web, radio, TV, etc.). Buy-out defines the usage period and geographic regions. You can specify these details step-by-step in the price preview; if you're unsure, simply provide a brief description of the voice's intended purpose.

How do quotes work, what is a buyout, and how do I choose the right medium?

A quote is a bespoke, written price quotation. A buy-out refers to where and for how long you are permitted to use the voice (e.g., TV, radio, online). Select your medium in the calculator or quotation flow; this will ensure the price reflects your intended use.

What is the difference between a business video and a radio or TV commercial through Voices?

For a corporate video, the cost primarily covers the recording and its use across your own channels. A radio or TV commercial typically requires a buy-out for broadcast – this is reflected in the chosen medium and usage term. You can select the appropriate medium below the price preview.

I'm looking for the right voice for my video, explainer, or commercial. Where should I start?

Start by listening: choose a few demos that match your tone. Then I'll help you with usage, buy-out or a quote when your script is ready.
