Design and creative production: Website for voice-over studios
A website for voice-over studios where clients compare voices by tone, language and use, and understand straight away which recording option and usage licence fit their project.
What visitors want to know from voice-over studios.
Many voice-over studios list a long row of voices on their site, each with a name and a single demo. An agency looking for a voice for an explainer video has to sit through ten demos that are all advertising reads, when what it wants is a calm, informative tone. Whether a voice also records in Flemish or English is not mentioned. Clients often do not realise that usage is agreed separately either: the same script for internal use is priced differently from a TV spot. That only comes up in the quote, where it feels like a surprise. The studio receives enquiries from people who do not yet know what to ask for, and explains the same thing every time.

From first visit to enquiry.
Sort voices by use
Voices are not only listed by name but can be filtered by language, accent, perceived age and tone. Each voice has short clips for each type of use: advertising, explainer, e-learning, phone system. A client making a corporate explainer hears at once how a voice sounds in that role rather than in a radio spot.
Explain sessions and usage
A separate page explains the difference between an unattended recording, a session where the client listens in remotely and a recording to picture. It also explains in plain language what usage rights are: where the recording will be heard, for how long and in which countries. Visitors know in advance why those questions will be asked.
Start an enquiry from a voice
From any voice a visitor can start an enquiry with that voice already filled in, and tick a second or third voice as alternatives. The enquiry then asks about script, usage and preferred recording option, so the studio does not have to open with the question of what the recording is for.
Connected to your software.
A voice-over studio usually already has a folder of demos per voice, a roster of staff and freelance voice actors, and an inbox for enquiries. The website pulls voice details from a single source, so a new demo or a voice that has stopped working with the studio does not need updating in several places. Voice actors supply their own demos, but the studio decides which ones go live. Voice actors' contact details stay off the site; visitors only see the voice and the work.
Show every voice or a selection
A large roster looks impressive, but visitors lose their way. A selection per type of use helps people choose, but hides voices that would fit just as well. A middle route is a short selection at the top for each use, with the option to filter the full roster for anyone who already knows exactly what they need.
Explain usage rights or not
Some studios only mention usage rights in the quote, worried it will put people off. Explaining them upfront actually prevents arguments: a client who knows a national TV spot is priced differently from internal training is not shocked by the quote. The explanation does not need to name rates, only which choices drive the price.
Real work or recorded samples
Clips from real productions sound convincing, but they need the client's consent, which can lapse. Specially recorded sample scripts can always be used and let a voice be heard in different roles. Many studios combine the two: their own sample for each role, plus a real clip where consent has been recorded.

We build the voice catalogue with filters for language, accent and tone, clips per type of use and an explanation of recording formats and usage rights, and put it live. Beforehand we try it together as a visitor quickly looking for a Dutch voice for an explainer video, and as someone who needs a voice that records in both Dutch and German. Pages per type of use and an enquiry form that carries the chosen voice along are added whenever you want them.

Explore pricing and optionsCan voice actors update their own demos?
They can supply new clips through their own upload area, but the studio approves them before they go live. That keeps the quality and style of the roster consistent, and no demo disappears without the studio knowing about it.
Should we put prices on the site?
That is a choice. Many studios show no rates because usage drives the price so strongly. What does help is explaining which factors count: script length, type of use, duration and territory. Clients then understand why the studio asks those questions before quoting.
How do we show voices in several languages?
Each voice gets its own clip per language, and the filter only shows voices that genuinely record in the chosen language. A voice that speaks a language with an accent is marked as such, so the client is not surprised by the first recording.
What if a voice actor is no longer available?
The studio sets the voice to inactive. It disappears from the roster and the filters, but past enquiries that included that voice stay intact. A visitor arriving through an old link sees a notice with similar voices they could consider instead.
