Voiceover Rates – How much Does A Voiceover Cost?

Voiceover Rates A Guide

Please treat this rate-card as a guideline. Each Voiceover is a bespoke, “made to measure” audio recording. As such, its quite difficult to set a rate card to cover all scripts and licences.

Rates are based on:
~ length of script
~ whether it is for broadcast or non-broadcast
~ usage licence: For Example: web/online, TV, Radio, internal presentation
~ length of licence requested – full buyout, 3months, 6months etc.

Do get in touch and we can work together to discuss your project requirements and your budget: alison@thephonevoice.com
