What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The range of voiceover artists Voquent has is impressive. We were able to provide our clients with a selection of options, even when meeting specific accent requirements. Crucially, the rates are within range for our budgets and seem to reflect/understand the smaller-audience branded content that we create rather than grouping our content under 'commercial/campaign' as similar voiceover companies have done elsewhere.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Voquent could have done differently?

We hope to see a continuation of the elements which have made the relationship successful so far - good, efficient communication, a wide range of voice talent, the ability to schedule recordings at short notice, rates that reflect the scope of the project, and of course quality recordings!

The whole process, from understanding our requirements, offering expert advice and options to review, to recording, editing and delivery, couldn't have been more straightforward.

We worked with Voquent on hiring and recording voice talent for short animation projects we are producing.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Voquent?

We were in a last-minute situation and had to find somebody.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Voquent has helped us with live human dubbing for a project. We initially sent an email after hours, and they contacted us first thing in the morning in New York time. Afterward, we scheduled a call with them at 8:15 a.m. EST to discuss our needs. We briefly blurted that we needed a quick turnaround for dubbing one of our event live streams.

They’ve dubbed our pre-recorded one-hour-and-17-minute video in Spanish, French, and Brazilian Portuguese.

What is the team composition?

We’ve dealt with two teammates from Voquent. One is a localization project manager, and the other is an account manager.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent over $9,000.

Any numbers on the project are still being worked on. However, Voquent’s team has been very responsive and amenable, working through revisions and getting back to us immediately. They’ve been very professional; they offer the best service they can.

The project is for an end client, and the client has had some feedback and revisions. Overall, Voquent has been great at listening to feedback and accommodating our client’s needs.

How did Voquent perform from a project management standpoint?

The work has been on time and within budget, and their communication has been wonderful. They continuously check back when they get feedback from us. Moreover, they try to rectify and make changes based on feedback.

We initially communicated through a Zoom call; since then, we’ve been in contact via email.

We reached out to Voquent, and they got back to us as soon as possible. Although we had many time constraints, they immediately jumped on our project. They’ve been working with us promptly, so everything’s been excellent.

Voquent provided an audio description script, the voice-over recording, and editing for a 14-minute English language video.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We didn't officially set measurable outcomes. I asked for an AD script, voice-over recording, and syncing the recording to the video. those were all provided. I ended up re-doing the editing because I didn't realize how the pauses would be handled and to have them re-do it would have added to cost that I couldn't manage.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They handled project management very well. Things were delivered on time. They were responsive to my many questions.

What was your primary form of communication with Voquent?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I love the great variety of voice actors that are available through Voquent. The communication with Voquent folks was forthcoming and prompt. They were very helpful to my novice experience with creating an AD version of a video. I learned a lot! The process would have been smoother had I known then what I know now.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Voquent could have done differently?

I'd recommend sharing a sample video of how audio description is handled at different price points. It was explained to me in an email, but a sample video would have been helpful. If they did send that, I missed it.

We were after a high-quality voiceover artist to read a script that would be used in a communication campaign video launch. We had a tone of voice that we like in this creative reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOxRpGEyn94 It was for a brand campaign launch. 

The video was introducing an idea and delivers a strong call to action. It should be inviting, authentic, and inspiring. But not at all cheesy. The more authentic, the better. The turnaround time was very tight— no longer than 48 hours.

High-quality Voice Over read, delivered within the tight timeline.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm a Writer and Development Producer at AON Productions Ltd. We produce films and animations for corporate clients for use in internal and external communications, including marketing, induction films and content for conferences.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Voquent, and what were your goals?

We needed several voiceover artists for an animation project we were producing for a client.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I found Voquent online; I was impressed by their range of voiceover artists, the number of 'voicereels' available to listen to, and the professional quality of their website and customer interface.

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production.

After taking a brief from the client we produced a script and storyboard and once this was signed off we started our search for appropriate voiceover artists to record the script.

I went through the Voquent website and selected several artists who I thought would be suitable. I then sent short 'audition' scripts to Voquent along with our preferred voiceover artists; Voquent arranged for the artists to record their auditions.

We shared the auditions with our client and between us came up with our preferred artists. We then negotiated a rate with Voquent and hired the artists to record the full version of the script.

We then needed to give the artists further direction to get the result we wanted, and Voquent were able to accommodate this extra request. We delivered the final films within our deadline.

Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like?

We worked with an account manager at Voquent who replied to our communications quickly and helpfully and understood what we needed at any specific time.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our clients were delighted with the final film and the range of voiceover artists we booked through Voquent added to the success of the film. We have been asked to produce a similar film for another part of the client's company.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

Communication was done mostly through email; replies were always prompt, courteous and friendly. I felt that Voquent was always looking for ways to help us with our project.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The range of talent was very impressive; I liked the range of voicereels available to listen to; I felt like we could have a friendly but professional discussion about our requirements and how Voquent could meet them.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

There's nothing they need to improve on.
