Voiceover Production

How to Get a Voiceover Quote in Under Two Minutes

Getting a quote for a voiceover project used to mean sending emails, waiting, following up, and going back and forth for hours. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of exactly how Voice Archive has fixed that.

The Problem Every Art Director Knows

You are an art director or project manager running an international campaign. Deadline is 48 hours away. You need a voiceover. So you send an email. You wait. You follow up. You get a quote back that does not cover half of what you actually need. More emails. More waiting.

What should have taken one hour has eaten half your working day, and you are no closer to actually starting production.

The quoting process should take two minutes. Not two days.

This is the exact problem that Voice Archive built its quoting tool to solve. Below is a full walkthrough of every step so you know exactly what to expect before you even open it.


The 8-Step Quote Process, Explained

The entire workflow is structured around one idea: every decision that would normally require three email threads gets resolved in a single, guided form. Here is how each step works.

1

Set Your Speed: Fast Lane or Basic Lane

The first question is about your deadline. If you need the project turned around today or tomorrow, you pick Fast Lane and the entire workflow adapts to that timeline. No more waiting to hear if a turnaround is even possible.

2

Decide Who Finds the Voice

Do you already have a voice artist in mind? You can deliver that name directly. If you need talent recommendations, Voice Archive curates a shortlist based on your brief. You do not browse through hundreds of profiles at midnight.

3

Choose How Many Voice Artists You Need

One voice, two voices, five voices. You set the number and each one gets its own brief. Campaigns with multiple markets or character voices are handled just as cleanly as a single-narrator project.

4

Describe the Voice Artist

Language, age range, gender, tone of voice. These structured dropdowns become the brief your project manager uses to match the right talent. No ambiguity. No clarifying emails asking what you meant by "warm" or "authoritative."

5

Decide on a Custom Audition

If you want to hear the voice artist on your exact script before committing, Voice Archive organises a custom audition. You hear what you are buying before delivery day. There are no surprises.

6

Your Project Manager Takes Over

A dedicated project manager handles everything from this point forward. Talent briefing, session coordination, file formatting, final delivery setup. You approve. You do not chase or micromanage.

7

Choose How to Direct the Session

Remote direction means the artist records from their own studio and you review from anywhere in the world. Live direction means you attend in person and direct the session in real time. You choose what fits your production style.

8

Specify Your Audio Post Requirements

Do you need files that are cleaned, mastered, and ready to publish? Or raw studio files to handle in-house? Either option works. The tool accommodates your internal workflow rather than forcing you to adapt to a fixed output format.


What Happens After You Submit

Once you complete the form, the request goes directly to the Voice Archive sales team. Within one hour, you receive a structured quote that includes a pre-vetted voice cast with availability already confirmed and pricing ready to go.

There is no negotiation round. No back and forth on whether the talent is even free during your window. No waiting three days just to get to the starting line.

What the Quote Includes

  • A pre-vetted voice cast matched to your brief
  • Confirmed availability for your timeline
  • Full pricing with no hidden line items
  • A dedicated project manager assigned from day one
  • Session direction handled remotely or in-person
  • Audio delivery formatted to your production specs

Why This Matters for Agency Timelines

For a creative agency running on tight delivery dates, the difference between a one-hour quoting process and a two-day back-and-forth is not just a matter of convenience. It is the difference between hitting your delivery date and missing it.

The Voice Archive quoting tool was built specifically for production environments where time is the scarcest resource. Every step in the process removes a decision that would otherwise require a separate email thread, a follow-up call, or a waiting period.

Your entire voiceover workflow, built in under two minutes. Quote back within one hour.

The result is a quote process that is structured, fast, and complete the first time. No missing information. No re-quoting because the original brief was vague. No discovering on delivery day that the scope was interpreted differently on both sides.
