How to do voice-over pick-ups

A pickup is a small re-recording of a specific part of your script, for example, because the text has changed or a name needs to be pronounced differently.

How does it work with us?

Thanks to your personal vault at Voices.be, arranging pickups is very simple:

• Consistency: We use the same voice actor and the same studio settings, so the new sentence blends seamlessly with the rest.
• Speed: You don't have to restart the entire project.
• Cost-saving: For a small text change or an error after the retake period, we normally charge a flat rate of €75. For larger changes, the voice actor decides on the rate.

This ensures your communication always stays up-to-date without having to start from scratch every time.

Educational audio content: course modules, instructional videos, training. Often long texts. That is why we charge per word or per finished hour of audio instead of a standard BSF.

E-learning usually falls under corporate (non-broadcast). For public learning environments, a buy-out may be required.

Voice-overs for telephone menus, messages on hold, and voicemails. We charge per prompt (one short message) or per word, depending on the scope.

For larger telephony projects (multi-level IVR, multilingual, holiday and public holiday messages), we provide a package price.

A re-recording of (part of) the voice-over. At Voices, 1 retake for tone-of-voice is included as standard.

Script changes (replacing a word, adding a sentence, or a new script) are no longer considered a retake. This is new work and will be charged extra.
