Video Production Review from Therran Oliphant
Videorize was a real partner in our video creation needs, at Tapad. Not only did they provide quality advice on everything from the script to the music but they even worked with us when our release timing was sped up due to organizational shifts. We’re very pleased with the final product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to colleagues, or use them for our own future video creation needs.

Video Production Review from Jenna
We are so pleased with how the “About Us” video turned out for CareBooker! Videorize really took the time to help us tell a compelling story that fit our brand. The Videorize team asked the right questions and then worked quickly to produce a video that was even better than we had imagined. They have a real eye (and ear) for how to get things right the first time. I’d definitely recommend Videorize to anyone who wants a quality “About Us” video that doesn’t break the bank!
Commercial Review from John Garbarino
Smitty takes the time time to fully understand your product and vision. He doesn’t just scratch the surface, he completely immerses himself into the problem you are solving and how you have set out to solve it. He simplifies it in a way that optimally communicates your product to the market that you desire and brings a fresh perspective to your branding initiatives. Because of this, he basically nails the production the first time around and your tweaks are minor at best. This is the sign of a great listener, coupled with great artistry. It is truly an anomaly. He will be doing all our videos until the end of time.

We worked with Create Video on a recent listings. Anthony took care of the video and made sure everything stayed on track, while Jan handled the photos, floor plan, and virtual staging. They were super easy to communicate with, quick to reply, and delivered everything fast. I’m so happy with how it all turned out. The listing looks great. Thanks you guys!
Lauren Shelly's Review Sourced from Google
I run a detailing shop and needed an instagram video done for the business, didn’t really know what to expect but Create Video made it easy. I’m not great with cameras or any of this stuff but they explained everything and were super straight forward to work with. They showed up, got the shots, and didn’t waste any time. The video came out awesome, looks clean and shows off what we do. Got a couple new customers already. These guys know what they’re doin.

This agency keeps sending me unsolicited emails! No way to unsubscribe and apparently they don't understand a NO either. Very unprofessional and annoying!

Jackie and his team bring the perfect blend of professionalism and creative prowess to every project.

They help businesses create clear, consistent, and persuasive sound across marketing, video production, and internal communications.
Audio production agencies create radio, streaming, and podcast commercials, including scripting, casting, voice-over, recording, mixing, and mastering.
In the United States, audio is now a mass-reach channel, considering 79% of Americans age 12+ listen to online audio monthly, according to Edison Research.
Podcasts have become mainstream, according to research that shows 55% of Americans listen to podcasts monthly, and 40% weekly.
The demand for audio services is growing rapidly.
According to IBISWorld, the United States alone has more than 25,000 audio production studios. It generates roughly $1.8 billion in annual revenue, while the broader professional audio market exceeded $12.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach over $17 billion by 2030.
Globally, the audio recording services market is projected to exceed $4.3 billion, reflecting growing demand for high-quality studio production.
This growth is also driven by the expansion of podcasts, streaming music, video production, branded content, social media marketing, and feature film production.
Podcast ads can drive unusually strong brand lift. Namely, Nielsen reports aided recall of 71% for podcast advertising vs 50% for people not exposed to them, and brand awareness lift of 13 percentage points in podcasts.
The IAB's FY2023 study reports $1.9B in U.S. podcast ad revenue in 2023, projected to exceed $2B in 2024 and reach nearly $2.6B by 2026, which is a strong signal that businesses keep investing in the channel.
The global audio post-production services market was valued at about $9 billion in 2024 and is growing at nearly 6.9% annually, driven largely by the film, advertising, gaming, and music industries.
The best audio production companies create reusable brand elements for branded content and social media, such as:
They collaborate with video production teams to deliver:
Studies show that sound quality directly affects how audiences judge a message and a speaker. One controlled finding shows that listeners rated the same talk 19.3% better with high-quality audio than with slightly distorted/echo-prone audio.
When businesses hire audio production companies, the process typically follows six to eight structured stages, including discovery, pre-production planning, recording, editing, sound design, mixing, mastering, and final delivery.

The cost of hiring audio production companies varies depending on the type of project, the experience of the producer or sound engineer, the location of the recording studio, and the complexity of the final content.
Typical hourly rates according to multiple agency sources include:
In large media markets such as Los Angeles or New York, premium studios equipped with Pro Tools systems, advanced mixing consoles, and acoustic recording rooms may charge $100-$300+ per hour.
Some studios also offer daily rates. Mid-range professional studios often cost $500-$1,000 per day for recording sessions.
When businesses hire audio production agencies for larger projects, total budgets often fall into these ranges:
| Project type | Budget |
| Podcast episode | $200-$1,500 |
| Commercial audio ad | $1,000-$10,000 |
| Corporate video audio | $500-5,000 |
| Music single production | $500-5,000 |
| Full album production | $10,000-$100,000+ |
| Film sound design | $5,000-$50,000 |
The timeline for an audio production project varies depending on the type of content, the complexity of the sound design, and the number of collaborators involved.
Simple projects like podcasts or social media audio may be completed within a few days, while larger projects such as feature film soundtracks or music albums can take several months.
Large productions such as feature films, documentaries, or television series require more time because they involve extensive sound design, dialogue editing, Foley recording, and multi-channel mixing.
Audio post-production for a 30-minute film, for example, can require 150-300 hours of work depending on audio quality and complexity.
| Project type | Timeline |
| Podcast episode | 1-3 days |
| Short commercial | 3-7 days |
| Corporate video audio | 1-3 weeks |
| Music single | 1-3 weeks |
| EP or album | 1-3 months |
| Film or documentary audio | Several weeks to months |
As audio becomes a core component of modern communication, organizations across multiple sectors rely on recording studios, sound engineers, music producers, and sound design specialists to produce high-quality audio.
