voiceover rates

How much does it actually cost to work with me?

Voiceover rates are priced using a Basic Studio Fee, which covers 1 hour of my time spent recording, editing and preparing the script before our session.

For most work, you then pay a usage fee. This varies depending on the overall usage, scale of your campaign, and the context and purpose of the recording.

Usage fees are per production, but you can record for multiple productions in one studio session.

To keep things simple, I’ve added my starting rates below.

some key points

  • Voiceover rates vary greatly due to usage, context, scale and purpose. I like to work with all types of creators and budgets, so if my rates don’t align with your budget, feel free to still get in touch and let me know your budget and we can work from there.

  • Most quotes with my clients are on a case-by-case basis. I work with you to find the best option for us both, without undercutting the industry standard rates of pay.

  • These rates include studio hire of my broadcast quality recording booth and studio space.

  • If you have a specific budget in mind, please get in touch. We can work together to see if we’re a good fit.

  • This serves as a great reference for estimating costs, before you’ve even reached out to me.

revisions

If I make a mistake, I re-record this for free. If you change the script after I have recorded it, adding in new lines or rewriting the entire piece, there will be a revision fee that is dependent on the initial fee and the magnitude of the change.

payment
