FAQ

• I like your voice and I would like to book you for my project. How does it work?

  To get started, you can request a quote via the contact form.

  After confirming the booking, I’ll need the script and some directions as to what kind of tone you would like. Would you like a young and energetic voice or a neutral and informative one? Or maybe it should be calm and relaxing? Perhaps you are looking for a „girl-next-door“ type of voice? No problem! Please feel free to describe your target audience to me as well.

  If you’ve already chosen the music that will go with the VO and created the video, please include them as they will help me find the right tone and pace. The more info I have the better!
  Of course, you won’t have to worry about confidentiality as I’d be happy to sign an NDA if necessary.

  As soon as we’ve discussed everything I’ll get started and you’ll receive the recording in the format of your choice within 24 – 48 hours, depending on the length of the script. Sounds good? Request a quote here and let’s get started!

• How much does a professional voice over cost?

  It mainly depends on the usage rights you need, the length of the script and who the client is.

  I’d be happy to send you a quote if you get in touch via the contact form.

  For the US-market, you can use the GVVA rate guide as reference:

• What if there are changes to the script after you’ve recorded and delivered the VO? What is your revision policy?

  You can book a revision within 30 days of delivery. Script changes are subject to additional cost because even if you only change one word within a sentence, I’ll have to record, edit and adjust the whole sentence again. Thank you for understanding. Please let me know in advance if a project might take longer than a month to complete.

• I’ve received the voice over and I’m very happy with it. Do I own all the rights now and can I use it in as many projects as I want for as long as I want?

  No. With each booking, you purchase limited, pre-determined usage rights. For example, you can book the rights to use my voice over for a Social Media Ad for 6 months or 1 year. Any use of my voice beyond this scope needs to be discussed in advance and is subject to additional usage fees. Voice overs are also only valid for 1 video and cannot automatically be used as templates.

  There is the option of purchasing a full buyout (usage rights in perpetuity) or exclusivity rights for your market. If you are interested in this option, please contact me.

• What if I’m not 100% satisfied with the voice over?

  Of course, any mistakes on my part will be fixed absolutely free of charge!
  This also applies if my interpretation of the script (emphasis, pace, inflection, etc.) is not 100% in line with what you had envisioned.
  However, any script changes after I’ve delivered the VO will cost extra.

• Can I buy additional usage rights later on?

  Yes, absolutely! If you decide on a longer running time for a spot or need broadcast rights for additional media, you can expand and extend the usage rights, as long as it is for exactly the same, unaltered spot.

• I would like to book a directed live session. Is that possible?

  Sure! For short texts such as TV ads, it often makes sense to book a directed live session in order to avoid going back and forth with revisions. If you want to book a directed session, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me!

• My script is short. Can I get a discount?

  I’m afraid there is a minimum fee for every voice over category. Thanks for understanding.

• Do you only work with recording studios and talent agencies or can any company or private person book you?

  It doesn’t matter whether you work for a huge production company or talent agency designing a TV ad campaign, or if you are a small start-up in need of a professional voicemail greeting: I would be delighted to work with you! And, this absolutely goes without saying, it will in no way affect the quality of my service.

  I would also like to encourage you to contact me if the voice over is for a charity project.

• Is there anything you won’t record?

  Yes! I won’t voice any scripts that promote racism or discrimination. I will also not record any erotic or adult content or anything that relates to the occult.
