On the radio, sound is all you have. There is no picture to carry the story, so voice, music and timing have to do the work in a few seconds. Read what audio production for radio involves.

A music bed, jingle or sonic logo and sound design that conjures up images that aren't there.

Frequently asked questions about radio commercials
What is audio production for a radio commercial?
Recording, editing and mixing all the sound in a radio spot: voice, music, sound design and the final mix. Read the full explanation.
Can I use an AI voice for my radio commercial?
Yes. We work with Dutch AI voices, always under human direction. That is how we made the party week radio spots for FEBO Waarderpolder.
Can two voice actors record at the same time?
Yes. In Studio 2, we record two voices at once, without losing focus or quality. Handy for a dialogue in your radio commercial. Hear our demos.
Who do you make radio commercials for?
For brands, agencies and local businesses. For example, we made radio commercials for Fastned in the Netherlands and Belgium, for Hotbath and for FEBO Waarderpolder.
Do you also take care of the music?
Yes. We choose music from the TRX Music Library, create custom music or clear the rights to a well-known track.
What is the difference between a jingle and a sonic logo?
A jingle is a short piece of music, often with lyrics, that carries your message. A sonic logo is a few recognizable notes that announce your brand. Read the difference.
Can I listen in during the recording?
Yes, we'd love that. There is room for your whole team. You hear the voice and the mix the way they're meant to sound and can give direction straight away.
Do you deliver versions for different languages and markets?
Yes. We deliver the final mix in the versions you need, for example in different lengths or for the Netherlands and Belgium.
What does it cost to have a radio commercial made?
It depends on the length, the number of versions, the voice and the music. Request a quote and we'll make you a tailored proposal.
