Podcast and voice-over

Show formats we see often

Two hosts at the table, host plus remote guest on screen, solo narration for explainers, or up to four panelists with extra stands. We angle mics so you can make eye contact without leaning into the capsule.

We do not live-stream to an audience during tracking; you may copy raw takes to USB if you want to cut on the train. Musical intros belong in vocal and rap recording as stems you mix later.

Room and speech tone

The podcast corner mixes absorption with a rug to tame floor reflections. That keeps voices close and avoids spending an evening noise-gating everything. We monitor quietly so tired ears do not miss soft passages.

• Separate track per speaker for flexible editing
• Optional stereo mix for quick phone checks
• Headphone mixes so guests hear themselves without latency pain
• HVAC runs low; no fan blasting the capsule

Tram 1 and 3 stop at Overtoom/Vondelpark, a short walk from the studio. From De Vlugtlaan metro station (line 50) it is about a 12-minute walk via Overtoom. — allow travel time; sessions run by appointment within Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00, Saturday 10:00–18:00. Closed Sunday. By appointment only..

Remote guests

A guest in another city can join over a stable video link; we record hosts locally while you edit the remote file they supply—or we print system audio when that matches your workflow. We cannot fix bad Wi‑Fi sync; schedule a test call when quality matters.

Full remote production does not require everyone on site, but at least one host in the room usually sounds better. Privacy questions sit in our privacy policy and, for business clients, a data processing agreement when needed.

What to bring

Script or outline, question list, water for everyone, and a laptop if you play cues mid-session. Skip rustling coats and clinking jewelry near mics; prepare your voice for the studio covers breathing and pacing too.

Bookings require age 16+ to contract alone; younger presenters are welcome with an adult. Cancel more than 7 days ahead at no charge per terms and conditions; later the 30% deposit moves or forfeits depending on timing.

Files and naming

Default delivery is 24 bit / 48 kHz WAV per speaker, plus a stereo session mix when you want it. Names follow show-episode-speaker so your DAW sorts cleanly. We do not ship mp3-only masters unless you explicitly want a preview format.

Delivery is via download link; long seasons may arrive in batches. Our archive keeps raw takes 12 months, then deletes unless you extend. Always keep your own copy.

Choosing a rate

Quick tests or inserts fit €78 per hour—we agree minimum time in intake. One episode up to sixty minutes with basic edits uses €235. Four episodes planned inside a quarter can bundle as €620.

Net hourly for invoicing: €64.46. Listed prices include 21% VAT unless a business agreement says otherwise.

Editing and mastering

Full podcast assembly—music, sfx, Apple Podcasts chapter marks—is outside standard episode pricing unless scoped upfront. Light noise cleanup on one bad take may fit inside session time; heavy restoration is quoted separately.

When intro music must translate on every platform, book mastering afterward. Dialogue-only shows rarely need mastering, but season-long level consistency helps—we can batch that when you deliver multiple episodes together.

Not included

Spotify hosting, show notes, transcripts, video direction and location shoots outside the building are not part of this service. We do not advise on music rights for your intro; clear licenses before tracking.
