Rate Guide…
There’s such a varied range of voiceover work from commercials to explainer videos and documentary narration to telephone IVR that there isn’t a one size fits all price list. The simplest way is to get in touch with the details of your work and I’ll quickly get back to you with a great price.
Please use the following as a GUIDE to help give you an idea but remember these can be tailored to suit your exact needs too.

My Basic Studio Fee is £250
- Corporate voiceover
I’d charge my BSF for internal work plus a buy-out if it is to go online of usually 100% of the total. - Educational voiceover
A rough guide is to budget for 24p per word. Obviously where you intend to broadcast or distribute makes a difference. - Telephony (on-hold, IVR)
A voicemail message is totally different to a massive phone system! So, I have a £50 minimum order. - Radio voiceover
These are based on station usage. - TV Commercials voiceover
Session fee and usage paid according to TVRs (TV Ratings). Session fee minimum £250.
If you’re not sure what to ask for, then it may also be useful to have a think about the following:
- Approximate length of the voice over script
- Broadcast or non-broadcast?
- Deadline
- Accent /dialect or style specifications
- Which format – mp3/wav etc?
- Do you require a sample recording of your voice over?
