Our story

Imagine yourself being a start-up developing online radio stations and presenting yourself at the E-Commerce Exhibition. So a radio company at a webshop exhibition. Wait a minute, a web shop for voice-overs, does something like this exist?

There are many online voice agencies. But only one that works as a web shop; transparent and with fast delivery times & fixed fees – that didn’t exist yet. This idea seemed to be an instant success. Since the launch in January of 2011 Voicebooking.com is one of the fastest growing voice agencies in Europe.

We take pride in honest business. No strange games but fixed fees. And acting quickly. From request to delivery of the voice-over: often within the time it takes for other voice agencies to send out a price quote. Our goal? Turning voice over work into a fast moving product.

So, Speed. That’s what we love. And with our new briefing system ProjectPages we continue to increase that speed. ProjectPages allows you to create a briefing and follow the recording of your voice-over every step of the way. Less static on the line, less retakes. In no time you’ll receive your voice-overs with the speed of sound.
