What voiceover and narration services does Northbridge Voiceworks offer?

Northbridge Voiceworks provides voiceover recording for commercials, narration for corporate and explainer content, and audio production support for projects that need a polished spoken delivery. Work is typically tailored to the script, tone, and intended audience, so the final recording fits the brief rather than sounding generic.

What is included in a standard voiceover recording project?

A standard project usually includes script review, voice direction where needed, the recording session, and clean edited audio ready for use. Depending on the brief, production can also include light processing, file formatting, and separate takes for different parts of a script or narration.

How is voiceover pricing usually quoted at Northbridge Voiceworks?

Quotes are typically based on the project brief, script length, usage, and the type of recording needed. If the work involves narration, multiple takes, or audio production such as editing and cleanup, that will usually be reflected in the fee.

What factors can change the final cost of a voiceover recording?

Several things can affect the price, including script complexity, turnaround time, revision requests, and whether the recording is for internal use or wider broadcast or online distribution. Studio time, production work, and any extra formatting or file delivery requirements can also influence the quote.

How can I contact Northbridge Voiceworks, and what is the best way to get started?

The easiest way to begin is to send a short enquiry with your project brief, script, and preferred timeline. Once we have those details, we can review the work, confirm what is needed for voiceover, narration, recording, or audio production, and guide you through the next step.

We may also provide related services such as file formatting, retakes within the agreed scope, audio clean-up, delivery of multiple versions, pickup recordings, and consultation on scripts or pronunciation where agreed in advance.

All services are provided based on the project brief, reference materials, technical specifications, and timelines agreed between the parties. Any work outside the agreed scope, including additional revisions, extra usage rights, rush delivery, alternate scripts, or changes after approval, may incur additional charges.

We reserve the right to decline any project, script, or direction that we reasonably consider unlawful, defamatory, offensive, discriminatory, misleading, technically impracticable, or otherwise unsuitable for production.

3. User obligations and responsibilities

You agree to:

Provide accurate, complete, and timely instructions, scripts, references, pronunciation guidance, and technical requirements;
Ensure that all materials supplied to Northbridge Voiceworks Ltd are lawful, do not infringe third-party rights, and do not contain defamatory, unlawful, or misleading content;
Obtain all necessary permissions, licences, releases, consents, and approvals for the intended use of any supplied content, including trademarks, copyrighted works, names, likenesses, and voices where relevant;
Review and approve scripts, proofs, and recordings promptly to avoid delays;
Notify us promptly of any errors or concerns with deliverables;
Use the deliverables only for the permitted purpose, territory, media, and term agreed in writing; and
Not reverse engineer, resell, distribute, or misrepresent our services or deliverables except as expressly permitted.

You are responsible for ensuring that the final usage of the recording complies with all applicable laws, regulations, platform policies, and sector-specific rules. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, we do not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice regarding your intended use of the audio.

4. Payment terms and conditions

Fees will be set out in our quotation, estimate, rate card, invoice, or written agreement. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in pounds sterling (GBP) and are exclusive of VAT and any applicable taxes, which may be added where required by law.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

A deposit or full prepayment may be required before work begins;
Invoices are due within the payment period stated on the invoice;
Late payments may result in suspension of work, withholding of deliverables, and/or cancellation of the project;
Any bank charges, transfer fees, or payment processing fees borne by us due to your chosen payment method may be recharged to you where lawful; and
Prices may change for future work or additional services requested after the initial quotation.

Where a project is priced on a usage basis, the fee may depend on the medium, territory, duration, audience size, and exclusivity of the recording. If the actual usage differs from the agreed usage, we may require an additional licence fee or a revised fee.

We may suspend performance if any amount due remains unpaid. You are not entitled to offset, withhold, or deduct sums unless required by law or agreed in writing.

5. Cancellation and refund policy

You may request cancellation of a project by written notice. Cancellation charges will depend on the stage of the project and any costs already incurred by Northbridge Voiceworks Ltd, including studio time, preparation, recording, editing, engineering, voice direction, administration, and third-party expenses.

Unless otherwise stated in writing:

Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced or studio time has been reserved;
If you cancel before work begins, we may refund any amount paid minus any reasonable administrative or processing fees;
If you cancel after work has started, you must pay for all work completed up to the cancellation date, plus any non-cancellable commitments and reasonable costs incurred;
Refunds will not be issued for delays caused by your failure to provide materials, approvals, or instructions; and
Delivered work that substantially conforms to the agreed brief is generally non-refundable.

If we are unable to complete the service due to our own material fault, and a remedy is not reasonably possible, we may at our discretion issue a partial refund or credit for the undelivered portion of the service. This does not affect any rights you may have under mandatory law, if applicable.

Any approved revisions, retakes, or pickup recordings must be requested within the timeframe specified in the project agreement. Changes outside scope, or caused by script alterations after approval, may be treated as a new chargeable project.

6. Liability limitations

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Northbridge Voiceworks Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive losses or damages, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or loss of anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with the provision or use of our services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to any project, whether in contract, tort, negligence, misrepresentation, or otherwise, shall not exceed the total fees actually paid by you to Northbridge Voiceworks Ltd for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

We do not guarantee that a recording will achieve any particular commercial outcome, audience response, broadcast acceptance, sales performance, or platform approval. Any creative recommendations are provided in good faith but remain subject to your final approval and responsibility.

If a force majeure event occurs, we will use reasonable efforts to mitigate its effects and resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable. If the event continues for an extended period and materially affects performance, either party may suspend or terminate the affected project by written notice, subject to payment for work already completed and any unavoidable costs incurred.
