Frequently asked questions

During the ordering process, you can easily choose which type of audio editing you'd like us to do. Do you want the voice-over to sound perfect and be ready to use right away? Or would you rather receive the raw audio files and handle it yourself? Either way is totally fine. At Kudo Voices, we offer an "everything perfect" service. With this bundle, we make sure your recordings are fully cleaned, edited, and mixed so you can quickly continue with your project. It’s a convenient and affordable option. You can also select services separately, like just editing or just mixing. The cost of any extra service is always shown clearly and included in the pricing breakdown on the right side of your screen during checkout.

Editing: If you choose editing, we’ll deliver fully cleaned and edited audio. We remove all distracting sounds such as mouth noises and unnecessary breaths. Mixing: With this option, we professionally mix and master your audio in one of our studios. This ensures your voice-over sounds great on any device, from your phone to a full cinema sound system. Editing & Mixing: This bundle combines editing, mixing, and mastering at a great price. It guarantees polished, cleaned, and mixed recordings. We remove any unwanted sounds, combine the best takes, and mix the audio for the best possible result. All extra services are easy to select during the ordering process.

Absolutely. At Kudo Voices, we often receive scripts that are written in a reading style. Nothing wrong with that, but there’s often plenty of room for improvement. To get the best result, a script should be optimized for a spoken voice-over. Kudo Voices offers a copywriting service for this. It ensures your message is clear and impactful. Just select the copywriting option during checkout. A solid choice, if you ask us.

At Kudo Voices, we offer the option to join the recording session with your selected voice-over artist remotely via an online connection. By joining live, you can give real-time instructions and feedback. Prefer to attend the session in person? That’s possible too! We currently have recording locations in the Netherlands, including Groningen, Emmen, and Almere. We’re also expanding to additional locations worldwide. Please note that booking a studio and voice-over artist on location may involve extra costs.

Dubbing is a skill, and it’s one that Kudo Voices understands well. In our studio, large screens allow voice-over artists to easily watch the video while recording. This helps ensure that the audio matches the visuals accurately. Some voice talents are better suited to dubbing than others, as it requires specific skills and experience in voice acting. That’s why we recommend getting in touch with us. You can email us at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28. We’ll help you find the right voice for your project.

They say haste makes waste, but if you need a voice-over quickly, Kudo Voices is ready to help! We have a clear overview of which voice talents are potentially available right away, and we’re able to move fast. So don’t hesitate to reach out. In urgent cases, it’s best to give us a call at +31 (0)5 085 091 28.

These days, many voice talents have their own high-quality home studios, allowing recordings to be scheduled quickly. Thanks to our strict screening process, we make sure that every voice talent with their own recording setup meets the quality standards we require at Kudo Voices. In addition to home studios, Kudo Voices also offers several recording locations across the Netherlands. At the moment, we have facilities in Groningen, Emmen, and Almere. Once the voice talent has been fully briefed by us, the recording can begin. The voice-over can be recorded independently or with direction, either in the talent’s own studio or at one of our locations. The raw audio is then sent to one of our audio experts, who checks the quality and performs any necessary post-production, such as mixing, cleaning, and editing. Once everything is ready, you’ll receive a notification that your voice-over is available for download in your personal dashboard. You can access it via the menu at the top right of our website.

At Kudo, we regularly work with schools, churches, government institutions, and publishers. For them, we record e-learning modules, manuscripts, and books, for example. We have extensive experience in recording and processing long scripts, both for audio and video purposes. For projects that involve large volumes or longer scripts, it can be helpful to discuss the details first. Feel free to email us at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28. We’d be happy to help you find a custom solution that fits your project.

Every online order is checked by our team and discussed with the voice-over artist before recording starts. This usually leaves enough time to make adjustments if needed. If the recording has already taken place, it’s often still possible to redo a portion of the voice-over. We’ll always try to find a suitable solution. Don’t hesitate to contact us quickly by email at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28. If your recording is scheduled to happen soon, it’s best to call us so we can act immediately.

We always deliver audio in a "lossless" format by default, meaning there is no quality loss between recording and delivery. By default, we provide audio in WAV format, at a minimum of 24-bit and 44.1 kHz. All popular audio and video editing software can work with this. If you’d like to receive the files in a different format, feel free to call or email us. We’re happy to hear the technical requirements of your workflow via info@kudo-voices.com or +31 (0)50 850 91 28.

You can log in to Kudo Voices via the menu in the top right using the email address you used when placing your order. You’ll receive a verification code by email to confirm your identity. All your files are available in your personal dashboard. To access it, go to “My Projects” in the top-right menu. There, you’ll find a complete overview of all your projects and the corresponding files.

Once your project is delivered, both your audio files and invoice will be available in your dashboard. There, you’ll also find an overview of all your previous projects. Additionally, your invoice will be sent to you automatically by email as soon as it’s ready. Haven’t received a confirmation of your order or payment? Feel free to email us at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28. We’ll be happy to assist.

Once the voice-over recording has been delivered, you can generally use it indefinitely for the purpose you selected during the ordering process. For advertising use, however, a buy-out is required. This buy-out, which acts like a license, is valid for a specific period of time. A buy-out gives you the right to use the recording during the agreed period, in the agreed medium, and within the agreed distribution region. This period can range from 13 weeks to 6 months, 1 year, or unlimited use. Voice-over artists may charge different rates depending on the length and scope of the buy-out. The buy-out period starts either from the invoice date or another pre-agreed start date. If you want to reuse the voice-over recording after the agreed period, you’ll need to arrange a new buy-out. In that case, feel free to email us at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28. For more details about usage rights, please consult our general terms and conditions.

At Kudo Voices, we want every client to end the day feeling satisfied with the results. Our goal is always to ensure customer satisfaction. We work carefully and aim to follow the script and instructions exactly as provided. Sometimes a recording may turn out differently than expected. This could be because you realize after hearing the final result that you’d like to improve the script, or because a mistake occurred during the recording. If there is an error in the voice-over due to something not being carried out correctly by Kudo Voices or the selected voice talent, we will of course resolve it for you. Please refer to our general terms and conditions for more information. If re-recording is required due to factors like late changes to the script, there may be additional costs. Feel free to contact us to discuss the options. You can email us at info@kudo-voices.com or call us at +31 (0)50 850 91 28.

At Kudo Voices, we're always on the lookout for great voice talents. If you believe you have the right voice, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send us an email at info@kudovoices.com.
