We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience working with Awakened Films and their team. From the initial call to the delivery of the final product, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity. The video they produced for our conference was of outstanding quality. Thank you again — we look forward to working with you in the future!

I could not be anymore happier with the results given. The communication from the start sold me with making the process very easy and fast. From seeing the production on the website to getting our production back I am very pleased with the work.Jon, who filmed the event for us was top notch. I coordinated the event from California while the sales reps in the area hosted the event. Jon and I took calls so he could make sure het got everything we needed for this event to be filmed and ensure to ask questions so nothing was missed. The sales reps said Jon made the process very seamless and how he made everyone feel comfortable.From making the process easier being in another state, to making the event successful and capturing all moments, I definitely recommend.

Orianne T.'s Review Sourced from Google
I was contacted via email by a gentleman who claimed to be from this company. Of course doing my due diligence, I decided to contact Volt Studios to confirm whether or not I had been talking to a legitimate company representative (an idea I thought Volt would welcome, as it is always good to know if people are impersonating officials to prevent scams to valued clients). The person I spoke with was (1) rude and (2) hung up on me three successive times.I want to assume I was just unlucky to have been connected to the wrong individual, considering the positive ratings on the profile.
Stan Prinsen's Review Sourced from Google
Google only gives you the options of Good Quality, Good Value, Professional, Responsive. These ratings are vastly inadequate when I think of the work I've done with VOLT since they first opened their doors.Fabulous Quality, Excellent Value, Extremely Professional and Hyper Responsive. These are the ratings I would give VOLT! Maybe Google needs to start working with better venders. Anyway, I love all the folks over at VOLT. They love what they do and they do it very well. If you need any post production services, some animation, a little color correction or a coconut water, please pick up your communication device and get in touch.

As Marketing Manager for Priceline Pharmacy, I’ve been working with Two Tractors for several years now, and they continue to impress. Their team is creative, strategic, and invested in delivering results. They take the time to understand the brand and audience, and their campaigns are always fresh and impactful. Communication is seamless, deadlines are always met, and the quality of their work is exceptional. I also appreciate how involved Co-founders Andy and Rick are. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an agency that blends big-picture thinking with hands-on execution.
Lindsay Tagg's Review Sourced from Google
We recently worked with Two Tractors on a major project and the team absolutely blew us away, rising to the challenge to produce 72 different pieces of content in just three weeks, including a reshoot. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication was evident from start to finish... and most importantly we all had fun while doing it. Despite the tight deadlines, they were calm, organised and constantly open to feedback. It was like working with an extension of our internal team. The final output far exceeded our expectations and truly delivered the impact we wanted to achieve!
Aymeric Le Leizour's Review Sourced from Google
The team at Two Tractors has been nothing but amazing to deal with. We often reach out to them with complicated briefs and they work their magic and make it look effortless. The communication between the team and ourselves is clear along the way up until the very last minute when everyone is happy with the outcome. We have been working with them for a few years now and would highly recommend reaching out to them for your projects

Jason Jenness's Review Sourced from Google
This was my first time ever doing an advertisement with my newly formed retail store. I will say that It was one of the best experiences of my life and Murph and the team were such amazing people to work with. They don’t just treat you like a customer, they treat you like family. They are extremely professional and listened to everything i had to say with the utmost respect for my feelings and ideas for what i wanted to project for my message. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I can’t wait to continue working with them in the future!
Elizabeth Gillis's Review Sourced from Google
This was my first experience in having a commercial done. I was as green as they come. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the end result of the filming.Murph was amazing, so patient with me and really LISTENED to my concerns and vision of what I really wanted out of the experience. The whole production crew were professional, down to earth and incredibly nice to everyone involved. I enjoyed their company so much that I consider them friends now.I highly recommend working with Rock Advertising and would definitely call on them again if I have a need in the future!
John Saunders's Review Sourced from Google
A+ Professionalism from beginning to end! Murph of Rock Advertising worked wonders with my limited budget. From our first phone conversation, planning and delivery of the final video product, great communication, great suggestions and guidance. Will work with Rock Advertising again and would suggest them to anyone wanting a great video ad produced!

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:

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.

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. Â
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.Â
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.Â
Audio post-production for a 30-minute film, for example, can require 150-300 hours of work depending on audio quality and complexity.Â
| 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 |
