Commercial Non-Broadcasting Rights give you permission to use the voice over in the animation video for promoting your product or service in non-paid advertising marketing channels such as on an internal company website, or on your own corporate website. With Commercial Non-Broadcasting Rights, you aren’t paying to have the voice over in your video promoted.

Full Broadcasting Rights apply to spots that you pay to have promoted. These rights give you consent to use the voice over in your animation video on any media of your choosing, including TV commercials, radio spots, and internet adverts. Internet adverts refer to any spots that will run on websites other than your corporate site. Here, you are paying to have it promoted – such as is the case with pre-rolls prior to other content running. This could include commercials that play on YouTube or Spotify before the actual content begins. Full Broadcasting Rights are also known as full buy-outs, offering unlimited usage.

Our voice talents can voice your script in many different languages. Use the Voice Search to select the language for your script. If you don’t find the language, please contact us so that we can help find one in our network.

Please note that before we send the script to the artist, it must be translated first. We can also help with translating your script.

For this reason, we have a roster of English and French speaking male and female voice talents ready to work together as a duo to narrate your script. Each artist and separate language start at $299. Please contact us for pricing.

If you don’t find the language, please contact us so that we can help find one in our network.

The cost depends on how many individual files are required. If you need the voice talent to save a large number of individual files, please let us know when booking a voice over and also let your Account Manager know so that we can give you a quote.

There is no additional cost for a character voice over. However, we strongly recommend you book an audition to hear the voice talent record a small section of your script before committing to the full read. This way, you can be sure it’s the style you’re looking for.

We have both English and French speaking bilingual voice over talents as well as other languages in our network. The cost for each voice over and language starts at $299. However, please note that we would require the English script to be translated into French or any other language before we can record. We can do this on your behalf at an additional cost. Contact us for pricing.

While we always strive for 100% client satisfaction, we know that things don’t always go according to plan – or your expectations. Our goal is to ensure that you’re 100% happy with your final video delivery. If you are anything but 100% happy with the result, we will make it right – no matter the reason. If it’s the fault of the team, we will correct the mistake at no additional charge. If you decide to change the script after it was already approved and voiced, we can re-record for you – although this will incur an additional fee for voice over and making any postproduction animation changes. Please contact your Account Manager and bring your concerns to their attention.

If there are script changes after the voice talent has already recorded your script, a minimum fee of 50% of the original cost will apply to cover re-recording, editing, and file preparation.

If completely new audio needs to be recorded owing to script changes after the voice talent has recorded your original script, this would classify as a completely new read. This would be charged accordingly as a new voice over recording.

If we have already produced your animation video and you require voice over changes, this would classify as a postproduction edit. This would be charged accordingly depending on the changes as we may have to illustrate new scenes and then go back into production.

Before commencing any project, we require a 50% deposit payment upfront. The remaining 50% is due prior to the delivery of your final video file. We will provide an estimate before we begin for your approval. You are welcome to pay via most common payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal, as well as company-certified cheques and e-Transfers.
