It really depends on what languages and accents you’re looking for. We’ll make it happen. We produce voice recordings in almost any language, from widely spoken languages to less commonly spoken ones, including dialects. And if the right voice isn’t already in our roster, we’ll cast specifically for your project. Our passion for finding the right voice takes us to even the most remote corners of the world to find exactly the voice your project needs.

Yes. We also source well known dubbing voices and actors for advertising, corporate films, games, documentaries and brand communications. Availability, budget and usage rights all play a role

You send us information about the project and your brief, including your requirements for the voice. If you already have a storyboard or script, that’s helpful.

We then select suitable voices from our roster or cast specifically for your project.We clarify the fee and availability of the selected voice talents.

We then put together a tailored casting with suitable demos from our archive.

You receive a link to the online casting and can make your selection.

If you wish, we can also arrange custom castings, where voice talents record individual casting texts. Depending on the scope, this may involve additional costs.

The key information to start with is the language, gender and age range of the voice. The more context we have about your project, the more precisely we can cast. Helpful information includes your brief, script and storyboard, as well as details about the target audience, intended use and desired tone.

Should the voice feel natural, emotional, modern, convincing or energetic? References or example voices can also be helpful, but they’re not essential. Often, a few good keywords are enough for us to suggest voices that fit your project.

We usually put together an individual online casting with carefully selected demos from our archive. You receive a link to listen to the voices.

If you wish, we can also arrange custom castings, where voice talents record individual casting texts. These usually require a little more time and coordination.

There are two options for custom castings:

1. With live direction
You have already shortlisted your preferred voices and would like to hear how they sound with your specific text before making the final decision. We can arrange the recording sessions with the voice talents at our studio or remotely. You can join the session either in person or remotely and direct the recording yourself. This gives you a solid basis for making your selection.

This type of custom casting is subject to a fee. Studio costs and a layout fee for each voice talent apply.

If one of the voices is subsequently booked and the same layout is used for the production, the layout fee already paid is credited against the voice talent’s fee.

2. Without live direction
You send us the text to be recorded along with your direction notes and leave the interpretation and recording to the voice talents.

The brief may be interpreted differently, and recording quality can also vary, as not all voice talents have access to professional recording equipment.

Many voice talents are happy to record custom castings free of charge, although this is not possible for everyone.

It depends on how quickly you need the casting. Depending on the project and requirements, we can sometimes do it on the same day, but usually within one to two days at most. Custom castings, where voice talents record individual casting texts, usually require a little more time.If it’s urgent, give us a call.

__________

Already booked a voice talent? Of course. We’re happy to handle the recording, either at our studio in Berlin or remotely.
We regularly work with voice talents, actors, influencers, testimonials and brand voices who have already been selected for a project. If you’re still looking for the right voice, we’re also happy to support you with the casting.

How would you like to do it? We can take care of everything from finding the right voice through to final delivery, or just handle individual steps. Here’s one possible workflow:

1. Finding the right voice
You send us your script and brief. We find the right voice and put together a tailored casting selection for you. Already have someone in mind? Just let us know.

2. Scheduling & preparation
We coordinate a suitable recording date with you and the voice talents.
Then we prepare everything for the session: importing the footage, adding music, setting up the DAW session, preparing the microphone, setting levels …

3. Recording
You can direct the session live, either at our studio or remotely. We take care of clear sound, a relaxed atmosphere and a smooth production process.

4. Selecting & editing
Together, we select the best takes. We lay them directly to picture or, for audio spots, edit them to the desired length, so you get a good sense of what the final result will sound like.
5. Mixing

If you’d like, we can also mix the production ready for delivery, including music, sound design or mastering. Always tailored to the medium it’s intended for.
6. Export & delivery

You’ll receive the final files in whatever format you need, WAV, MP3, AAF, Dolby Atmos … ready for whatever comes next, and delivered on time.

Absolutely. Remote recording is part of our everyday workflow. With tools like SessionLink PRO you can join the session live from wherever you are in the world. All you need is a stable internet connection and a good pair of headphones. You can direct the session, give feedback and be involved in real time, just as if you were in the studio.

The fee mainly depends on where and how the voice recording will be used. One of the key factors is whether the recording is used in advertising (active use), without advertising (passive use), or for internal purposes only. Some forms of use are generally considered advertising, such as use in physical retail.

Other factors include:

That’s why there’s no one size fits all fee. We take the specific circumstances into account and determine the fee based on the intended use.

Layout
The actual voice recording of a text.

Buyout
The fee for using a layout for a defined period of time and across the agreed media. A buyout can cover multiple media, such as online, TV and streaming.

Session Fee
A session fee is mainly used for advertising productions when several different layouts are recorded for a spot, giving the client options to choose from. The fee is based on the recording time, usually in half hour increments after the first hour.

If one of the layouts is later used in the final production, the layout fee is credited against the voice talent’s fee, regardless of how many spots are ultimately released from it.

Usage Rights
They define the territory, period of use and media in which the voice recording may be used, and, most importantly, how it may be used: with or without paid advertising, or for internal use only.

We’re always happy to hear from distinctive voices and new talent. Send us demos that showcase your range and repertoire to  ››voices@voicetalents.berlin.

We prefer individual recordings from productions you’ve already worked on. For a first impression, you’re also welcome to send reels or professionally produced demos. If we decide to add you to our roster, we’ll need individual demos that showcase your range.

We’d also like to know a few basics about you as a voice talent, including your experience, how we can record with you and, of course, your contact details
