We produce professional, multilingual audio guide recordings. We pick voice artists from our roster - Polish talents for PL versions and native speakers for foreign-language versions. From museum collections to theme parks and tourist trails. Digital guides for mobile apps, QR codes, handheld devices and stationary systems.
Below are a few examples - short voiceover samples from artists matched to audio guide and digital tourist guide contexts. Each sample is a fragment of a recording we produced for an audio guide - for a museum, theme park, tourist attraction or heritage site. Browse the full voice selection with audio samples in our voice bank.
Sample: Museum narration - information panel
A narration sample for an information panel in a museum exhibition - a typical fragment of an audio guide for a single tour stop. Calm, factual tone, clear diction, natural pace matched to a visitor stopped at an exhibit.
Sample: Inwałd Miniature Park
One of many Wiktor Zborowski recordings for the audio guide of Inwałd Miniature Park. The distinctive, recognizable voice of a theatre and film actor - adds individuality and weight to the narration. For amusement parks, popular tourist landmarks and large-scale attractions.
Sample: "Path to Culture" - Łowicz Cultural Centre
A fragment of the "Droga do kultury" (Path to Culture) narration - a project for the Centre for Culture, Tourism and Promotion of the Łowicz Land. A Polish Radio voice artist since 1977, also working as an experienced tour guide. Lyrical, deep voice timbre - ideal for cultural narrations, local heritage trails and historical routes. Audio description experience (Polish Association of the Blind) - valuable for venues accessible to blind and low-vision visitors.
Sample: Narration
Male authoritative voice, mature tone. Optimal for historical narrations, heritage venues (castles, palaces, regional museums) and educational/popular-science narrations.
Sample: Narration
Native French with a narrative tone. Works well for venues connected to French culture, European art collections, and exhibitions on historical and artistic topics.
Sample: Audio Guide
Native Spanish with diction suited to museum narrations and audio guides. Works for venues visited by guests from Spain and Latin America.

An audio guide is a narration that leads visitors through an exhibition, park or tourist trail. A professional voice artist makes the narration natural, engaging and tonally matched to the venue's character - which directly affects visitor experience and engagement during the visit.
A voice actor builds the narration, tunes intonation to the content, places pauses in the right spots. They can tell the story of an exhibit so the visitor remembers details after leaving. The same text, read by an experienced voice artist, works completely differently than in a raw version - a difference visitors sense from the first seconds of listening.
An audio guide with a professionally recorded narration works for blind and low-vision visitors, seniors, children learning to read. Clear diction and natural pace are an inclusivity argument for the venue - increasingly an accessibility requirement expected by funders and grant programmes.
The Polish version we record with a Polish voice artist (e.g. Konstancja - warm female voice, museum narration experience). English, German, French or Italian versions - always with a native speaker from the given country. A visitor from Berlin hears authentic German, not a translated text with a Polish accent.
An audio guide extends the average visit duration (visitors listen to the full narration, stop at every point), builds a positive association with the venue's brand and is easy to update - when an exhibition or season changes, we record new points without rebuilding the whole.
A good audio guide should sound and interpret like an experienced tour guide leading visitors through the venue - someone who genuinely knows the place, speaks with passion, knows when to pause and how to highlight a key moment of the narration. Experienced guides build rapport with their group - an audio guide with a professional voice artist replicates that effect across hundreds or thousands of listening sessions per day.
Among our voice artists is Andrzej Krusiewicz - a Polish Radio voice artist since 1977, who in real life also works as a tour guide. His lyrical, deep voice timbre and natural guide-like intonation work exceptionally well in historical, cultural and artistic narrations. Andrzej collaborates with the Polish Association of the Blind on audio descriptions - his experience is valuable for venues accessible to blind and low-vision visitors.
We produce recordings for audio guides (audioguide) for venues where visitors move between points and need guiding narration. It's a broad category - from intimate art galleries to expansive theme parks. Various tourist attractions, cultural venues, institutions providing tourist information to visitors - wherever clear explanations of key places and well-designed visiting paths matter, a multilingual audio guide with a Polish voice artist and native speakers proves itself.
Permanent and temporary exhibitions, specialist collections, regional galleries. We produce recordings both for traditional handheld devices loaned at the entrance and for modern mobile apps with narration triggered at a specific exhibit.
Miniature parks (we produced 3-language audio guide recordings for Inwałd Miniature Park), botanical gardens, zoos, educational amusement parks. Recordings tailored to the visiting route and expected walking pace.
Castles, palaces, manor houses, open-air museums, historical trails. Authoritative narration tone (e.g. Jarosław - male voice for historical narrations) with attention to factual accuracy.
Viewpoints, city routes, audio tour guides for individual visitors, educational, geological and nature trails. Audio guides as short fragments (60-120 seconds), triggered by GPS or QR code. A tour guide app with audio is often a simpler alternative to renting equipment - the visitor uses their own smartphone.
Educational trails for the youngest, fairy-tale narrations in family-friendly venues, interactive exhibitions. For children's audio guides we pick child or fairy-tale voices, shorter fragments (30-60 seconds) with a more dynamic pace and simpler vocabulary. Fresh recordings for younger audiences build positive associations with cultural education from an early age.
Festivals, trade fairs, conferences with an educational layer, seasonal exhibitions. We record in 2-5 working days depending on material volume - if you need finished audio for opening day, let us know in advance and we'll arrange the schedule around that date.
We run every recording project in six stages - from content consultation to delivery of finished files in the format your system requires.
We receive the narration text (or a draft) from you, verify the length of each point against optimal listening time (60-120 seconds), flag pronunciation of proper names and industry-specific terms. If the text needs shortening or restructuring, we signal that before recording.
We pick the voice based on visitor profile: warm, narrative for art galleries; authoritative, low for historical venues; energetic, youthful for amusement parks; child-like or accessible for educational trails for children. We send 2-3 voice artist proposals with audio samples for approval.
We record in an acoustically treated studio, on equipment built for voiceover narration. Polish versions are read by a chosen voice artist from our voice bank; foreign-language versions (EN, DE, FR, ES, IT and more) - native voice artists experienced in narrative recordings. Recording itself takes 2-5 working days depending on material volume.
Each file is loudness-normalized (consistent volume across all points), denoised, mastered and exported to the required format (mp3, wav, ogg, aac). Files are prepared for the specific system - one standard for a mobile app, another for handheld devices.
We deliver files in a structure matching your platform: mobile app with point numbers, QR codes linking to streams, handheld devices with a file catalogue, stationary system with start/stop buttons. We support integrators during deployment if technical questions come up.
Before delivery we check synchronization of point numbers with the venue map, playback quality on headphones, mobile phones, loaned devices. Minor corrections (e.g. opening hours change in the introductory narration) we make free of charge for 12 months from delivery.
From our voice bank we pick voice artists matched to the venue's character, target audience and language. The full voice list with audio samples is in our voice bank.
Konstancja - warm female voice, experience in educational and museum narrations; works well for art exhibitions, intimate collections, nature trails.
Jarosław - male authoritative voice, mature (50+), ideal for historical, documentary narrations, cultural heritage venues, military-themed narrations.
Native UK and US (English in RP / General American variants), German, French, Spanish, Italian - voice artists with audio guide and educational narration portfolios. Full selection with samples in the native filter of the voice bank.
Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic. These languages we produce on demand - delivery time 10-21 days depending on native voice artist availability.
Child voices for educational trails for the youngest, senior voices with slower pace and clear diction for venues visited by older guests, "specialist" voices (experts, popular-science narrators) for thematic narrations.
Audio guide recordings we produce in formats compatible with most modern digital guide distribution systems - from dedicated mobile apps to simple QR codes at exhibits. Digital guides are now the standard in newly opened museum venues: they combine visitor convenience (own smartphone, no queues for equipment) with content update flexibility on the venue's side.
| Distribution format | Audio files | Deployment notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile app (iOS/Android) | mp3 / aac (optimized) | GPS integration possible (autoplay on entering a zone), offline files |
| QR codes at exhibits | mp3 (HTTPS stream) | No app install, in-browser playback, short files (60-120s) |
| Loaned handheld devices | wav / mp3 (archival quality) | Full filename with point number, compatible with most industry devices |
| Stationary audio guide systems | wav 48 kHz / mp3 320kbps | High-quality master, button or motion-sensor activation, speakers near exhibits |
| Internet / venue website | mp3 (stream) | Audio guide accessible remotely - for visitors before or after a visit, or as a downloadable recorded explanation |
Digital guides currently dominate new audio guide deployments in Poland and across Europe. Traditional handheld devices are giving way to solutions accessible via mobile app - more convenient for visitors (own smartphone instead of borrowed equipment) and cheaper to maintain for the venue (no device maintenance, no lost units, no battery charging).
The recordings we produce we deliver in formats compatible with the most popular digital tourist guide platforms in Poland and abroad - regardless of whether distribution happens through a dedicated museum app, QR codes at exhibits, or the system provider's CMS panel. Modern platforms also offer analytics: how many people listened to which point, where visitors stopped the narration, which languages are most often selected - which makes it easier later to decide which fragments of the narration are worth shortening or expanding.
Digital guides are increasingly replacing systems with physical devices in medium and large venues. A mobile app gives the guest freedom over the visiting pace, and the venue gets data for optimizing visitor paths. Listen to audio guide voice artist samples in our voice bank and pick a voice fitting your digital guide.
For each audio guide we can deliver a text transcription of the narration (for hard-of-hearing visitors), a slowed-down version (for dyslexic users or language learners) and a variant with longer pauses between sentences. These are additional files alongside the basic recording, priced individually.
The price of audio guide recordings depends on four variables: number of points (exhibits, locations on the route), narration length per point, number of languages (PL + foreign natives) and voice artist tier (higher-tier voices include well-known actors and journalists).
Audio guide recordings: 20 points × 90 seconds × 3 languages (PL/EN/DE) - a typical scope of a museum project. Full breakdown by voice artist and language is available in the pricing section or after contact - we'll prepare a quote tailored to your project within 24h.
A standard audio guide recording project takes 5-7 working days from text approval. Time depends on material volume (points × languages) and native voice artist availability. Express mode (up to 3 days) is quoted with a surcharge.
The client can join the recording remotely - watch the session online, give live feedback, request corrections before the artist leaves the studio. Details on the remote sessions page.
Minor substantive fixes (date change, opening hours, proper-name correction) we do free of charge for one year from delivery. Larger changes (new points, additional language) we quote as new material - but with no hidden fees for "returning to the project".
We'll prepare a detailed quote with breakdown by voice artist and language within 24 hours. All we need is a project outline: number of points, estimated narration length per point, languages, planned technology (app, QR, devices) and preferred delivery date.
