Calm voice over
Choose a voice by talent or type: listen to demos and book with transparent pricing.
We'll take care of this for you
Too commercial intonation
Documentaries need a calm, objective voice. Many voices sound like an advert, which can harm the credibility of your visuals.
Viewers lose interest
A flat and monotonous narration over a long duration causes the audience to disengage, no matter how stunning your video footage.
Incorrect timing
The voice should align with your visuals. If the actor reads too quickly, the story won't match your reportage's visual climax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about booking, rates and delivery at Voices.
How do you choose the right voice for a calm voice-over?
- Filter by Dutch, listen to demos, and compare rates in the calculator on this page.
What does a professional voice cost?
- It depends on your project. Calculate the exact cost in the calculator on this page; there is no fixed 'starting from' price.
Can you compare multiple voices?
- Yes, you can shortlist using the grid and listen to demos side-by-side.
Are revisions included?
- Revisions are free only when the voice actor made a mistake, such as a wrong word or pronunciation that does not match your script or brief. Script changes or new wishes after approval are not a revision: we quote those separately.
Can my company pay by invoice?
- Yes. After checkout you receive an invoice; business accounts can use Peppol e-invoicing. You see your rate before you pay on the pricing page.
