FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you charge to record a voice-over?
If your script is 15 words or less, it's a 15 word
read.
More than 15 words?
Read it out loud at a suitable pace and time yourself. If it's
30 seconds or less, it will be a 30 second read.
If it's 45 seconds or less, it will be a 45 second read. If it's
60 seconds or less, it will be a 60 second read.
If the text fits on an A4 page when double spaced, it is a double
spaced A4 page read.

Do you record directly onto my voice mail
/ answering machine?
We can provide the audio track(s) in formats for
your PABX switchboard system (CCITT or PCM WAV) for direct 'uploading'.
But for domestic systems or mobile phones, we just provide you
with the high quality audio track. It is up to you to record it
onto your machine or voicemail service.
How do I record the voice track you send
me onto my voice mail / answering machine?
If you have an advanced PABX phone system which
allows uploading of CCITT or PCM WAV files (or indeed PC based
answerphone software), you can upload the file directly. If you
haven't heard of this, then your answerphone will probably just
have an in-built microphone up to which you can direct a speaker
to play the audio we send, or hold your phone handset up to a
speaker. Each one is different. Experimentation may be required
to get the best sound.
How long will it take for you to send me
the voice track?
It can be anything from 12 hours to a week, depending
on how busy the studio is. Normally, simple reads are done within
24 - 48 hours, but music mixes do take longer. See the question
below!
Why are you so cheap?
We are an "outlet store"
of voice-overs ... a great place to get professional custom voice
tracks at a fraction of the price they would cost you anywhere
else.
Buying voice tracks from us is not
unlike buying a plane ticket online. You’ll save money,
but you won’t have a salesperson to help you. That’s
just one of the reasons why we can sell custom voice tracks for
a really low price. Here’s another.
There’s an old saying; ‘You
can get it good, cheap or fast’....pick any two. With eVoiceovers,
you get them ‘good and cheap’...but not necessarily
fast. It may take up to 48 hours to get your tracks depending
on studio demand.
All voice tracks are produced in our
state-of-the-art soho studios.
But when you do most of the legwork
and allow us more flexibility in scheduling your session, you
can save a bundle.
If you need your voice tracks "fast
and good", email us (you will be charged extra for a faster
service). If you need "cheap and fast" well, sorry...we
can’t help you there.
