Whether you have known us for a while now, or have only just found us, there are bound to be nice surprises to be discovered as we work together.
To which end a quick check-in. Which of the 13 things below did you not yet know about Voicebooking?
Deals
You will definitely know us for our competitive, set prices. They save you a lot of hassle and mean that, in most cases, the voice over is delivered in just a few hours. Are you stuck with a tight budget?
Or is it such a short script that you feel in your gut there’s a deal to be made with the voice over actor? Then ask one of our Booking Agents for suggestions of which voice talents may be able to help you out.
Discounts on multiple video projects
Speaking of set prices. On our site you will see the rates per video. If you have a production where you´re making multiple videos, then in most cases the price doesn´t just pile up at the same rate.
How much a voice over actor charges in these instances varies from person to person. It is also somewhat dependent on the type of production. There’s a good chance that a voice over actor will charge one price for 20 videos about dog kennels and a different price for 20 videos for the country’s biggest brand of beer.
Our Booking Agents will gladly negotiate a good deal for you.
Online Audio Post Production & Sound Design
Since the end of December we can also help you with Online Audio Post Production and Sound Design. We have set up a worldwide network of audio geeks, who understand that you have tight deadlines.
You can have outstanding Audio Post Production and Sound Design for as little as 75 euros and 129 euros.
Do you know what that sounds like? No? Then check out our showreel.
Music search
Had enough of the amount of banjo music in online videos, but lacking in inspiration?
Get in touch today. Voicebooking´s Chief of Sound will definitely help you find just the right tunes.
Own studio
You have those jobs where you would prefer to be present during recording, or your client would.
In our voice over studio in Amsterdam we record voice overs for Spotify, Booking.com and the Fast & The Furious Live, among others. You want to bring your own voice over actor with you? No problem.
Listen along and direct online
If it’s not possible for you to get down to the studio (or if you find it inconvenient) then dialing in is also an option.
Whether we’re talking about our voice over actors or our Sound Designers, we have the tools that allow you to listen along and direct a voice over from behind your own desk (or from a nice spot on the beach if necessary!). Just select the Creative Control as an option.
Casting
At Voicebooking we like to make life easy for you. But did you know that we have a database with more than 4.000 voices?
It allowed us to help a national radio station find the new voice for the station. Contact us, our voice over casting director will help you find the voice that is ´just right´ for your job.
81 languages
How many!? Yup, that many.
Translations
Do we speak your language? We have a network of translators. But yeah, plenty of people do translations.
The difference is that we have selected our translators based on their specific experience translating voice over scripts.
So that your lovely colloquial, spoken language, stays spoken language. Ask our Booking Agents which languages we can help you with!
International English
There are productions for which you´d rather not use a typical British or American voice over. Then you can opt for a neutral English voice over actor instead.
Very often they grew up in an English speaking country as the children of expats, or moved from one English speaking country to another.
You hear this kind of voice over more and more, and you can find them all in our new International English voice over category.
Workshops
We like these! At the last Klik! Animation Festival we started giving workshops. Including in writing for voice over and sound design.
We’ve really developed a taste for them. Keep an eye on our newsletter, a new series of workshops will be coming soon!
Direct contact with the voice over actor
If you haven’t worked with us for a while you could quite easily have missed this: thanks to our chat functionality you can now have direct contact with the voice over actor for the duration of your project.
Handy for questions about pronunciation or tone of voice, or quickly organising retakes. So handy in fact, we’ll soon be adding an option for direct phone contact as well.
Free auditions
The right voice over actor for your production. With the right demo you often know you’ve found them in just a few seconds.
But… should you have any doubts, ask us to record a quick sample of your script. Won’t cost you anything, but it will definitely help.
