Question 1

What experience do you have in voice over?

Accepted Answer

I’ve been a voice over artist since 2012, when I began recording audio guides for tourist sites in the Czech Republic. Since then I have also recorded voice over for corporate videos for businesses all over the Czech Republic, commercials for brands in Europe and beyond, e-learning for English learners and corporate training alike, and many character voices for animation and visual novels.

Question 2

Can you provide samples of your previous work?

Accepted Answer

My YouTube channel has a playlist of videos that are available to the public which feature a voice over by me.
However, quite a lot of what I do is not publicly available, especially audio guides and internal corporate videos.

You can also listen to all my demos - starting on the Corporate Narration page

Question 3

What types of projects do you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

I started with Audio Guides and they are still one of my favourite genres, but Corporate Narration is also a speciality that I very much enjoy.

Having said that, Commercials are always a wonderful challenge, and e-Learning is extremely rewarding, while doing any kind of Character Voices is great fun!!

Question 4

What is your pricing structure?

Accepted Answer

That's a tricky one to answer, but I want to be as transparent as possible.
Every project is priced individually with the client’s budget in mind, but my rates are based on current accepted industry standards. 
You can find out more on the Prices page.

The best thing to do is to get an idea of the price for your project on the Get a Quote page.

Question 5

What is the turnaround time for a project?

Accepted Answer

My studio is in my home, so a turnaround time of a couple of hours is not so unusual, but 24 hours is more feasible, depending on how busy I am.

You can get an idea of how busy I might be by checking the Book a Meeting page.

Question 6

Do you offer revisions if needed?

Accepted Answer

Every project includes one session of revisions (or ‘pickups’) free of charge. Further revisions are charged according to length and complexity.

Question 7

What is your availability?

Accepted Answer

My studio is in my home, so I'm  never more than a few steps away from recording.
However, due to the nature of the business, every day is different, and mornings are usually busier.

You can find available times and book a session time on the Book a Meeting page.

Question 8

Do you provide script writing or editing services?

Accepted Answer

I've been a proofreader/translator for 18 years and this service is very often included in VO jobs, sometimes free of charge depending on the length and complexity of the text. 
But I don’t usually provide copywriting services, although I have done so in the past. 
Ask me!
