Question 4

Q: HOW ARE RATES QUOTED?

Accepted Answer

A: My rates are dependent on:

1. Genre
(Broadcast commercial, corporate narration, explainer video, IVR or message on hold, eLearning, medical narration, educational development, etc.)
2. Length
(Time length of finished project, word count, or page count depending on the genre.)
3. Usage
*If I don’t know the usage, I can’t accurately quote the project.* (Used for broadcast (TV and/or radio, which markets, how many markets, size of markets), web (on a website, for paid web advertising, social media, YouTube, etc), internal corporate use, etc.)
4. Duration
(How long will the voiceover be used? 3 months? 6 months? 1 year?)
5. Budget
If you've done your homework, you know the value of a professional voice actor and you'll have a reasonable, fair market value budget in mind. If you're not sure what that looks like, I can provide objective, industry-standard information to educate you on reasonable rates.
