Several tasks. One coordinated workflow.

Script work, casting and technical preparation can partly run in parallel. Recording begins once all required texts have been prepared and approved for production.

Preparation · partly in parallel

  1. 01

    Script review & preparation

    We review your material, clarify open questions and prepare a recording-ready script where needed. Translation, transcription and editing can be added during preparation.

  2. 02

    Casting & scheduling

    We have the right voices. Choose voice talent through your online casting; we then coordinate availability, briefing and the recording session.

    Technical preparation

    We align file formats, timing, existing videos and any required separate files with the production goal. The source material and technical specifications are then ready for the studio.

    Audio services
Approval before recording

Production-ready scripts, an agreed voice and defined technical requirements.

  1. 04

    Recording through to mastering

    The agreed voice records the approved script. Editing, post-production and mastering follow. For multilingual productions, we coordinate language versions and direction.

    Quality checks & delivery

    Quality checks accompany production. Before delivery, we check the final files against the agreed scope and make them available online. Your customer portal brings together project status and documentation.

What we need to get started.

You do not need a complete production package yet. A short project description is enough to discuss the next steps.

  • Your script or existing audio/video material
  • Source language, target languages and preferred voices
  • Intended use: for example e-learning, film, phone announcements or advertising
  • File format, timing, file segmentation and preferred deadline

If scripts are missing, our script and transcription services can help. Our Word templates support clear preparation and approval.

Before the studio session.

Which steps run in parallel?

Where the project allows, we coordinate script work, casting and technical preparation at the same time. Recording requires approval of all necessary scripts. There is no fixed duration for every project.

Does our script have to be finished?

A description or existing material is enough for the initial enquiry. Before recording, the required script must be complete and approved. Script services, translation and transcription can be commissioned together with recording.

How are the deadline and costs agreed?

Scope, languages, voice availability, intended use and production requirements determine the work involved. We review your preferred deadline and specify services, price and delivery in your individual quote. The audio price list offers guidance.
