      Where to begin... prior to the shoot the team where so amazing and helpful. We spoke for weeks and they answered every question. David and Steven were always on top of their game and made us feel even more confident in booking them. They set up everything for our brand. They even coloured a big wall in our theme colour. Mel done a great job with organising the breif. When I arrived the morning of the shoot Ryan and Karen were already working on our products. We had a 3 day shoot and each day worked wonderfully. The team made me feel as if I've known them for years. I will not have anyone else shoot our business except for Content Hustlers. They know the game and the exceeded our expectations. Love you guys! And thank you for helping us complete Allay Skin 🤎

      I could not recommend Israel Bonequi and his team at INDFilms more. They were helpful from DAY 1 with every aspect of making my documentary film: filming, editing, troubleshooting, creative brainstorming, helping me take it to a place I couldn't have on my own.Israel's technological knowledge and skills across the spectrum of filmmaking are matched only by his creativity, and his consistent kindness, generosity of time and spirit, encouragement and calm. I would add that Israel was always open to my ideas, helping me hold onto, but refine, the vision I had for my film.

Mike Bean was able to go through the dispute system for us and fix it. We certainly don't want people calling the wrong agency for insurance! They also have a podcast which is pretty cool which I'll listen to when it comes out. Thanks Mike & Jeremy!

      I called Alpyne Strategy for a shoot I had already booked/planned/organized and had full set up for but still needed a PA in the area. I took a wild shot, googled local production companies and found Alpyne. William answered the phone and I apologized and said "I'm sorry, I don't technically need any of your normal services but I'm looking for a dependable Production Assistant in the area and I was hoping you'd know some." William didn't hesitate to reach out to his local network, give them all the details and send me a qualified, available, extremely talented candidate within a day. He went above and beyond to help me when it didn't benefit their company at all. If you're looking for an honest, fair, and dependable media partner in the Nashville area, I know Alpyne will be my first call for any of those needs! Thank you again William, the PA (Aaron) was INCREDIBLE to work with and was a primary reason our shoot was a major success.

  • Professional audio editors: $90-$200 per hour for complex audio projects such as narrative podcasts or film dialogue editing.

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

Commercial audio ad$1,000-$10,000
Corporate video audio$500-5,000

How long does the audio production process usually take?

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 typeTimeline
Podcast episode1-3 days
Short commercial3-7 days
Corporate video audio1-3 weeks
Music single1-3 weeks
EP or album1-3 months

What should I look for in an audio production agency portfolio?

Key factors decision-makers should evaluate when reviewing an audio production agency portfolio include:

  • A diverse range of projects 
    Strong audio production agencies typically showcase 10 to 30 portfolio projects covering a wide range of work, such as commercials, podcasts, music production, video production, and sound design.
  • High-quality audio samples or demo reels (30-120 seconds each)
    Most professional portfolios include short audio demo clips between 30 seconds and 2 minutes that highlight specific elements, like dialogue clarity, music production, and acoustic sound design.
  • Evidence of experience across multiple industries 
    The best audio production companies demonstrate experience across 3-5 industries, indicating that the agency can adapt to different creative and technical requirements.
  • Collaboration with recognized brands, artists, or musicians
    Many companies highlight notable clients or collaborations, such as brands, advertising agencies, or well-known artists. Even a portfolio that includes 5-10 recognizable clients or campaigns can demonstrate credibility and industry trust.
  • Proof of measurable impact or performance results
    Some portfolios include metrics that demonstrate the success of the project. For example, videos with strong sound design can increase social media shares by 35%, and sonic branding elements help 90% of consumers remember a brand.
  • Recent work from the past 2-3 years
    Because audio technology and digital media evolve quickly, a strong portfolio should highlight recent projects completed within the last 24-36 months
