FAQs

Get in touch

Send me a message via the contact form or email me at hello@leoniedoesvoices.com.

Tell me as much as you can about your project:

1. What is the genre?
   Commercial, video game, corporate narration, animation, explainer, IVR or voicemail messages, e-Learning, audio guide, etc.

2. How long is it?
   Number of words in the script of seconds/minutes of the final recording. An estimate is fine.

3. Where will it be used?
   This one is really important!
   Is this a commercial for TV, Social Media, Radio? Or a corporate video that only sits on the client website? Is it an internal e-learning? A video game that will be released on all major consoles or an indie project for Steam?
   Without this information, I cannot give you an accurate quote.
   Confused? Click here for more information.

4. For how long will you use the recording?
   Is it a one-off use for an event? An explainer you want to sit on your website indefinitely? A commercial you want to run for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or 5 years?

5. What’s your budget?
   If you have a budget in mind, it will save us both a lot of time if you let me know upfront where your limit is.

If you already have a script draft, send it over so I can record a custom sample for you.

Quote

Based on all the details you have provided, I will send you a quote and a sample recording of your script.

Contract

If we agree to work togother, I will send you my standard contract for you to sign and send back together with the finalised script and any references and recording instructions. Please make sure the script is final as any changes to the text after I have recorded may be subject to additional charges.

Recording

If you prefer to direct me live while I record, we find a time for a session and I book you in.

Otherwise I will record your script in my own time and send you the finished recording within our agreed timeframe.

Wrapping-up

If revisions or retakes are needed, we work on them until you are 100% satisfied.
Once you are happy with the recording, I will send you my invoice which you can pay by bank transfer within 30 days.

I will ask you for a quick testimonial, and will gladly return the favour.

Returning
You are welcome to come back any time for further recordings. :)

I usually deliver wav files in 48k and 24 bit. If you need something different, just let me know.

I usually deliver within 48 hours. If you need a recording quicker than that, just let me know and I can usually deliver within 24 hours or even same day if you’re really in a hurry.

This depends on a lot of factors. What is the genre and length of the script? Where and for how long will the recoding be used? And many more. For a more detailed breakdown of my rates, click here

If you are not happy my recording, I will provide retakes until we achieve what you want. Those are always included in the quote.
If you change the script or brief after I have recorded, re-takes are subject to additional charges.

Absolutely! LIve directed sessions are my preferred way of working. You can direct me by phone, Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet or platforms like Cleanfeed, Session Link Pro or Source Connect.

I am bilingual English/German and work equally in both. My natural English accent is a neutral British sound but I can also work in a US accent or a neutral, international English.

I also speak fluent French with a tiny hint of an international accent. A French person might pick up that I am not a native speaker but they wouldn’t be able to tell where I’m from.

I can also read Spanish, Italian and Dutch, with a very clearly foreign accent.

As for accents in English, I can offer Neutral English, Transatlantic, British RP, London, General American, US Southern, German, French, Russian, Norse, Scandinavian and a Euro-Neutral sound.

In German, I speak Hochdeutsch as well as Ruhrpott Deutsch, which is my native accent.
