Because whether you need a playful tone for an animation video, a powerful voice for a radio commercial or a calm, professional voice over for your corporate film. I make it for you, completely customized. Here’s the best part: I work fast, deliver bang up to date work, all from my high-end voice-over studio. So no nonsense, just top quality.

Have a text ready to go or a campaign idea you need help with? Send me your script or question and I’ll email you back within one business day. Then it works simply, transparently, no hidden costs, just clear agreements and we work closely together. You give me your input (or free hand), and I’ll make sure it’s voiced perfectly, seamlessly fitting your production. I think with you, I make it perfect. With over 15 years of experience in the voice over world, I guarantee professionalism, speed, fun and just as important, a good price!

Sounds great?! This is how we work together:

step 1

Mail Your voice over script

Send me your voice over text or question and I’ll email you back within 24 hours. We’ll take it from there. I work with fixed prices, nice and transparent. So no bullshit. Usually we deliver the high-end audio within one business day so you can get on with your production.

step 2

ReCorD>>>

If you agree to the price I will start working for you, you can even be there live! Give me all the input you have and I make it exactly the way you want it. Sounds great?! Of course, I make sure you have your professional voice over well in advance.

step 3

your voice over

You always get two nice takes so you can make the perfect edit yourself. Obviously WAVs, top quality. Are you completely happy with the recordings? Then we call it a ‘wrap’! But maybe you want a text change or crisp mastering? That, too, can be arranged quickly. A perfect end result and super happy clients is what I stand for.

step 4

The invoice

I work on the basis of trust. You pay afterwards. Before I start recording we will discuss the price. That’s the total of the recording fee + usage. If the project is successfully completed you will receive the invoice within a week. Should the usage change in the future, please let me know. It works just like with music rights.

Voice over talent with a mission

Why Barbara? Because I’m more than just a voice. I’m someone who thinks with you and always goes for the best quality. Plus, I work with big names and countless great brands. I use that experience in every project I take on. Because of my background as a producer and copywriter, I make sure you not only get a great voice over gets, but also that your text flows and sounds nice.

Let me explain. First, the power of a good voice over lies in the tone of voice. It should fit seamlessly with the mood of the project. A warm, friendly voice can inspire confidence in a commercial, a fresh sound can enthuse online, while a serious, quiet voice over is suitable for an Elearning, for example.

Second, intonation, speed and articulation of the voice actor are essential to make the right impact. A good voice over knows exactly how to make accents with these.

Third, technological advances have led to the rise of computer-generated voices, but the human touch remains indispensable for emotional connection and credibility. And that is exactly what I stand for. Humanity. Àever telling authentic stories in any tone of voice.
