RATES
General Information
All rates are for full buy-outs of dry, edited voice overs.
Audition read (<60 sec, minimal editing): No charge
Minimum: $50 per project
Flat rate: $150/hour of studio time
Often used for scripts that are not finalized, or clients who would like me to experiment with different styles. One-hour minimum. Billed in 15-min increments after first hour.
Script changes: Subject to the $50 minimum charge, so it saves money to record all script changes together.
Ongoing projects: Rates may be lower for ongoing clients with periodic updates on previously recorded spots. Examples include new tags for seasonal sales and toll-free numbers.
Multiple files: Projects divided into more than 3 separate files are charged at the higher end of the range.
