Commercial
Thirty seconds that has to land every time.
Radio, TV and online spots recorded with a producer’s ear for timing, slated on every take, and delivered named and formatted to the spec your station or agency sends.
The session
Timing first, then read.
A commercial read is a timing problem before it is a performance problem. The engineer runs the stopwatch, calls the read at pace, and captures slow, medium and fast passes of every script so the edit has options. Alternates and tags are recorded as separate takes, labelled, so the traffic department is never hunting through one long file.
Direct from the room or from anywhere. Source-Connect, Zoom, Listento or Google Meet are all set up, and the client, the agency and the director hear the take in real time and give notes as if they were beside the desk.
Delivery
Named the way your traffic department expects.
WAV at 48 kHz / 24-bit as standard or whatever your pipeline needs, MP3s, split files and slates, with loudness to broadcast standard on request. Stereo and mono only; no Atmos. Every cut, every alternate and every tag is a separate file, slated and named to your spec, so the spot that airs is the spot that was approved.
Time and money
By the hour, quoted per campaign.
Studio time is C$150 an hour with the engineer included; projects are scoped and quoted within one business day. The rate is the same at 9 PM on a Sunday as at 10 AM on a Tuesday: the studio is open 9 AM to 2 AM, seven days a week, and evenings and weekends carry no premium. Rates current as of 14 September 2026. Three hours, a common length for a multi-spot session, is C$450. A campaign with cutdowns for several markets is quoted as one number you can put in a purchase order.
