The small print: process, voice-over, extras, usage rights, what’s not included

Process

  1. Briefing. A short call or a form: What is it about, who listens, which podcasts do you like the sound of, and which not at all?
  2. Two drafts. You get two different directions as short sketches, not two versions of the same idea. You pick one.
  3. Production. We fully produce the direction you chose, add your voice recording and mix it.
  4. Delivery. Three lengths, an instrumental version, all files ready to drop in.

Voice-over

Most hosts voice their own intro – that is usually the better choice, because then the voice belongs to the show. You record the script, we add it.

If you want a professional voice, we bring someone in, record at our studio and add it. What that costs depends on the voice artist – we talk it through with you.

If you don’t have a script yet: €120, and you get two versions.

Usage rights

You pay once and may use the intro forever for the podcast or format it was made for – including clips for social media. GEMA manages the rights to the music: your podcast needs a GEMA licence (tariff VR-OD 14), and we show you how. Not included: reselling, passing it on to others, and use in paid radio or TV ads; for that, an extension is available on request.

Not included

  • Voice artist fees (passed on at cost)
  • Graphics and cover art
  • Music for whole episodes
  • Unlimited rounds of drafts

You get two directions to choose from, and then we work out one. That is on purpose: in our experience, unlimited drafts lead to worse results, not better ones.

This is what it looks like.

Common questions

See all questions

How long does it take?

Five business days for an intro, seven for intro and outro, ten for the sound package. Counted from a complete briefing.

What if I don’t like either draft?

Then you get a third one at no extra cost. That rarely happens, because the briefing does most of the work – but it does happen, and then it’s our problem, not yours.

Why do you compose instead of using stock music?

Most podcast intros sound like what they are: a piece of library music with someone saying a line over it. You’ve heard it three times already, under three other podcasts. That’s why we compose it. Behind it is a songwriting degree, and the same work that goes into a song goes into these twenty seconds: Which tempo fits the pace of speech? Which instrument carries a voice without covering it? Where does the music end so the first sentence lands?
