Video Production Review from Terry
We’ve made many films ourselves, but nothing like this, this really had impact. Just the details in trying to reach people & hit them & make them FEEL something- so that they would DO something.
Kate Worthy's Review Sourced from Google
The 522 team is great to work with. On our most recent project with them they took our content and vision and created a video that surpassed our expectations! They were extremely responsive throughout the production process and took the time to make sure they truly understood our goals and direction for the project.
Courtney Yates's Review Sourced from Google
The team at 522 productions and specifically Cara as she was my point person, were phenomenal in making the steps to filming seamless and given my baby was part of it, that was no easy task. They went above and beyond with clear instructions and set up a calm and relaxing environment that could otherwise be expected to feel overwhelming. I wish I could give the team more than 5 stars.

Zachary Houvener's Review Sourced from Google
I can't recommend JSB Video/Jordan highly enough. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with and consistently delivered great end products that exceeded our expectations. Jordan offered thoughtful guidance and creative direction when we needed it, and were just as willing to take our input and run with our vision when we had a clear idea in mind. That balance made the whole process feel collaborative and stress free (especially given our accelerated timeline and public-sector intricacies). I have full confidence in their ability to deliver, and would have zero hesitation working with them again. Thanks again!
Mai Hoang's Review Sourced from Google
I loved working with Jordan and his team. They produced amazing videos for us that was not only able to showcase the level we're operating at and capture the nuance of our client stories. After the shooting, my clients came up to me and said, "it was so easy to work with JSB video." We're going to do more work with JSB I highly recommend!
Meri Roth's Review Sourced from Google
We had an excellent experience working with Jordan Berns as our videographer at MODEX. From start to finish, Jordan was professional, easy to work with, and truly understood our vision. He captured high-quality footage that perfectly showcased our brand, booth, and team, even in a fast-paced trade show environment.Jordan was proactive, detail-oriented, and flexible on-site, making the entire process seamless for our team. The final videos were delivered promptly and exceeded our expectations in both quality and storytelling.If you’re looking for a videographer who is reliable, creative, and understands how to produce impactful event content, I highly recommend Jordan. We would absolutely work with him again.

Ben Newall's Review Sourced from Google
What a great service! Rune Films came to our premises along with another of our suppliers as they had been commissioned to produce a case study for our supplier (about our transition to them). The guys we're very professional and polite, on the day they arrived on time, setup their gear out of the way, then when it came to filming they we're reassuring and friendly to deal with. Now we have the finished product, we are very pleased with the result and would highly recommend. Thank you!
Josh Booth's Review Sourced from Google
Rune Films were brilliant - full of ideas and enthusiasm for the project from our very first meeting to the last. We presented them with quite a long and detailed brief, which they were very attentive to. They came up with what seemed quite an ambitious concept, but were able to deliver it exactly as imagined, and we were delighted with the video at the end of it.
Luca Wijeratne's Review Sourced from Google

Frequently Asked Questions About Audio Production Companies
What services do audio production agencies offer?
They provide a wide range of creative and technical services that help brands, filmmakers, musicians, and businesses create professional sound for media, marketing, and entertainment.
- Recording and studio production: operate professional recording studios equipped with acoustic treatment, high-end microphones, digital consoles, and digital audio workstations such as Pro Tools, which remains one of the most widely used platforms in professional studios. Typical recording services include voice-over recording for commercials and corporate content, podcast recording and editing, music recording for artists, dialogue recording for film and video production, instrument recording (guitars, drum kits, orchestral instruments), and live recording for concerts or live events.
- Audio editing: Removing noise, errors, and unwanted sounds
- Audio mixing: Balancing multiple tracks, adjusting levels, EQ, and compression
- Audio mastering: Optimizing the final track for streaming, broadcast, or film distribution
- Sound design and sound effects: Creating and manipulating audio elements to support storytelling in film, advertising, games, and digital media. Services often include custom sound effects (SFX) creation, Foley recording for film and television, ambient soundscapes and acoustic environments, audio branding elements such as sonic logos, sound design for feature films, video production, and branded content.
- Music production and composition: Collaborating with music producers, musicians, and songwriters, original music composition, jingle production for commercials, film scoring for feature films and documentaries, background music for corporate videos and branded content, and beat production
- Podcast and digital content production: Providing podcast recording and editing, intro and outro music production, audio branding for podcast shows, distribution and publishing support, social media audio clips, and promotional content.
- Audio for video, film, and advertising: Producing sound for visual media, including dialogue editing for film and television, ADR (automated dialogue replacement), audio post-production for commercials, soundtracks for feature films, and audio for corporate events and branded video content
How much does it cost to hire an audio production company?
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:
- Recording studio time: $50-$200 per hour, depending on studio equipment and location
- Audio engineer or sound engineer: $50-$150 per hour
- Music producer: $50-$500+ per hour, depending on experience and reputation
- 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 |
| 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 |
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 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 |
What industries commonly hire these agencies?
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.
Industries that commonly hire top audio production companies include:
- Film and television production
- Advertising and marketing, with the global audio advertising market valued at more than $38 billion in 2025, and 64% of brands plan to increase their audio advertising budgets.
- Music and entertainment
- Podcast and digital media, with the global podcast market projected to reach $81 billion by 2031, growing at about 20% annually.
- Video production and corporate media
- Video games and interactive media
- Live events and concerts
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.
