I have over 35 years of experience in voiceover for radio and TV advertising, on-hold messages and voiceover for AV presentations and commentary.
Commercial advertising voiceover is not the same as it was ten years ago, even five years ago. I love making scripts come alive, creating radio spots that engage the
listener, encouraging a listener to create a mental picture of a scene or event.
I am English by birth but spent the last 40 years in Australia, so I have clear diction or an Aussie accent, deeply resonant, gruff or descriptive.
My home studio is on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia, I use Protools, and iZotope, and my microphone is a Neumann TLM103.
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!
