Which languages can I have recorded?

Our voice artists speak their own native languages. You can choose from languages such as Danish, German, English, English (US), French, French (BE), Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Flemish. We work with native speakers such as Marina or Maria for Spanish projects, and Aleksander for Polish recordings, amongst others.

What if the pronunciation isn’t quite right straight away?

With a clear briefing in advance, adjustments are rarely needed. However, if the stress is in the wrong place or the pace isn’t quite as you’d like, we’ll quickly adjust it for you. Good communication is the key to success here. [FAQ_BLOCK]

Is a home demo as good as a studio demo?

The demo on the profile is your reference. Professional home studios deliver quality suitable for TV, radio, online, and telephony. You explicitly schedule live direction or an external studio in your brief. More: home demo versus studio .

How do I write a good voice-over script?

A good script is short and conversational . Write as you would speak, not as you would write an email. Use short sentences and avoid any abbreviations the voice artist would have to interpret. Indicate where pauses should go, which words should be emphasised, and the tone you're looking for (e.g. corporate, warm, energetic). The clearer your directions, the better the final result. Don't have a script? Our team can provide scriptwriting advice. Send us your brief and we'll be happy to help.

How do I book a voice via Voices?

Listen to the demos and pick a voice. Add your text, choose what you need the audio for, and pay online. We email you the recording when it is ready.

Which file format do you deliver?

We typically deliver uncompressed WAV at professional quality (often 48 kHz), ready for editing. Mention a different format in your briefing if needed.

Is a retake included?

For tone-of-voice , one retake is usually included. Script changes or a new script afterwards are chargeable. A clear briefing reduces extra rounds.

How to choose the perfect voice for your video, step by step

Choosing the perfect voice for your video, step by step

You’re sitting at your desk with a corporate video that’s almost finished, but the temporary voiceover you quickly recorded yourself sounds flat and lacks the right persuasive power. A good video deserves a voice that strikes the right chord and reinforces the message. When you want to book a professional voice-over for your project, there’s a lot to take in. This guide will take you step by step through the process, so you can make the right decision with confidence and find a voice that’s truly the right fit.

Next, draw up a clear briefing

A voice-over artist is a creative professional, but they do need clear guidelines to strike the right tone. Create a briefing in which you explain the context of the video and describe the desired atmosphere. Also provide specific instructions regarding difficult words.

Our director’s practical tip: always spell out abbreviations, numbers and brand names in full, or include a phonetic spelling. For example, if you’re recording a US English project with an experienced voice actress such as Alyson, or a Danish production with Florian, this will help prevent any confusion regarding the pronunciation of local Belgian brand names or technical terms. Tip: Make a short audio recording on your phone in which you pronounce the difficult words yourself and send it to the voice artist.

Then schedule and follow up on the recording

Once the briefing and script are ready, the actual work in the studio begins. A professional approach ensures swift turnaround. Clients such as Stijn experience this regularly: an order placed on a Friday often results in the finished recordings being delivered as early as Tuesday. Nicolas and Peter also emphasise in their reviews how important smooth follow-up and a user-friendly working method are for an optimal result. Tip: Always allow an extra day’s buffer in your own schedule for any minor adjustments afterwards.

Finally, reviewing and integrating the recordings

When you receive the audio files, it’s best to listen to them separately from the footage first. Pay attention to the following points:

The intonation and correct stress on key words.

The pauses and the overall pace of speech.

The sound quality, which should be free from distracting background noise.

Only then should you sync the voiceover with the video and add any background music. Ensure that the music never drowns out the voice. The voice must always take centre stage in the audio mix. Tip: Turn the volume on your speakers down very low to check whether the voice is still clearly audible over the music.
