My name is Yumiko. I’m a professional Japanese voice over artist with Home Studio.
I’ve been working professionally for nearly 20 years.
Since I was a student, I have appeared on the radio in Hiroshima prefecture as a radio reporter. After graduating from university, I joined a radio station in Shizuoka prefecture as an announcer.
I received the Excellence Award in the Radio Program Category of the All Japan Association of Commercial Broadcasters in 2010.
After working for the radio station for eight years, I got married and gave birth. I became freelance to move and live with my parents-in-law and family.
Every voice actor sets their own rate. All of our talents are pros, but the cost can vary depending on their experience and skill level.
Generally speaking, voice over rates depend on:
- Will the voice over be for broadcast and paid ads, or organic, non-promotional use?
- The length of the script (word count).
- Do you need the voice over fully edited and production-ready, or just the raw audio?
- Do you want to direct the voice artist in real-time, or can they record independently?
Many of our voice actors follow our pricing schedule, but you’ll find that rates are negotiable, so if you let them know what you can afford, there’s a good chance they’ll accommodate you!
