Frequently asked questions about documentary voice over

The price is based on script length, usage type and any add-ons. You always receive a fixed quote after submitting your script – no open-ended costs. The quote includes rights scope and delivery timeline.

Can you adapt the tone for different documentary genres?

Yes. From calm nature narration to more intense true crime – I adapt tempo, tone and energy to suit the project. Feel free to send a reference or describe the mood you are after.

How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is 2–3 business days from approved quote. Rush delivery (same day or next day) is available at an additional fee. The delivery date is always stated in the quote.

Do you deliver synced to picture?

Yes. Timecode-guide delivery is available so the narration syncs with your edit. Mention it in your enquiry and it will be included in the quote.

What usage rights are included?

The standard quote includes digital and TV broadcast rights. The exact rights scope is specified in the quote. Buyout or extended rights are available on request.

Can you record narration in Swedish?

Yes. I record in both Swedish and English with a Nordic accent. If you need both languages, they are handled within a single quote.
