Script Timing Reference

Standard speaking rate for German TV and radio commercial copy. Use these figures when writing or checking script length.

Spot Length Approximate Word Count Notes
15 seconds ≈ 30 words Hard sell, rapid pace
20 seconds ≈ 40 words Standard short format
30 seconds ≈ 60 words Most common TV/radio length
60 seconds ≈ 120 words Long form; radio and online

German copy tends to run slightly longer than English due to compound words and word order. Allow 10–15% more time when translating from English scripts.

Buyout Pricing Explained

For most commercial campaigns, buyout pricing is the simplest and most transparent option. You pay a single flat fee, and the recording is yours to use without restriction — no annual renewal, no usage tracking, no additional invoices when your campaign runs longer than planned.

Buyout is standard for online advertising, social media campaigns, regional TV and radio, and any production where long-term usage is uncertain. You agree a fee upfront, receive the files, and use them as you need.

Usage-based licensing — where the fee scales with media type, territory and broadcast duration — is available for major national TV campaigns or productions with defined media plans. In those cases, the fee reflects actual exposure.

All quotes specify which model applies. If you're unsure which fits your project, mention the planned media use when you enquire and Andreas will recommend the right approach.

What's typically included in a buyout quote

  • Studio session (live-directed or self-directed)
  • Final edited, broadcast-ready WAV file
  • One round of directed revisions
  • GmbH invoice from BrennerMedien GmbH
  • Unlimited use for the agreed media type

What affects the fee

  • Script length and complexity
  • Whether live direction is required
  • Turnaround speed (rush projects attract a surcharge)
  • Media type and territory for usage-licensed projects

Frequently Asked Questions

What styles can you do for commercials?
Andreas covers a wide range: authoritative announcer, warm and approachable, energetic hard-sell, natural conversational, luxury and aspirational, and character-driven. Send a reference or describe the required tone and he'll match it in the audition or first session.
What's the difference between buyout and usage licensing?
A buyout is a one-time flat fee giving you unlimited use of the recording — most agencies prefer this for simplicity and budget certainty. Usage licensing charges based on media type, territory and duration of broadcast. For most online and regional campaigns, buyout is the cleaner option.
Can I direct the session?
Yes. Live-directed remote sessions are available via Source-Connect Standard or SessionLink Pro (browser-based, no installation needed on your end). You connect from your studio or office, hear the recording in real time, and direct the read just as you would in a traditional studio booth.
How long does a spot take to deliver?
A standard 30-second spot is typically delivered within a few hours of the approved script and brief. Same-day turnaround is available for rush projects — please flag it when you enquire so the session can be scheduled accordingly.
Do you work with music beds?
Yes. Send the music bed and Andreas will time the read to it, matching energy and pacing to the track. Alternatively, the dry VO can be delivered for your post-production team to mix. Both workflows are straightforward.
Can you match a reference voice?
Send a reference recording with notes on what you want to keep (tone, energy, pacing) and what to adjust. For existing long-running campaign voices, consistency matching is a standard part of the service and is achievable in most cases.
