Rates

---

First things first:

• Voice-over rates are based on a number of variables: the medium (radio, television, internet), the market (local, national, international), the length, the nature, and the use of the audio;
• Rates can be determined per project, length of script, or per word;
• The more specific you are about what you want, the easier it is to give you an informed quote, and the read you need;
• The prices below are “starting at” rates.
• We're always happy to provide a free sample before confirming a booking.

For corporate/web/explainer videos, our Basic Session Fee (base fee) is £200 per hour of studio time.  This also covers:

• To voice and edit our reads so you have a clean, produced and broadcast quality audio file*.
• Studio hire;
•  'Non-broadcast' usage on: client website / client social media channels / internal training / eLearning;
• Retakes in case of errors;
• The option to listen in via Skype, Zoom or  Source Connect;
• Supply of fully edited voiceover tracks in broadcast-quality WAV format (or other format of your choice);
• Free retakes, as long as they are not necessitated by changes in the script after the initial audio was recorded. The recording of a script that was revised after the first text was officially approved and recorded, is regarded and billed as a new project.

* In  line with recent developments within the industry, we charge a 'Scream Premium'  of 50% on all Session Fees. Sessions involving screaming are capped at a single hour per day.

Depending upon the size of the job/client and if the work will be extensively used on the web, then usage could be added on top, at 100% of the session fee per 3 months.

Rates for other projects are very much client and project dependant, though a good reference point  is the Gravy for the Brain Rate Card. Don't hesitate to contact us for an exact quote.

Payment Terms and Conditions:

Once my services have been officially engaged, the agreed fee is payable within 30 days of invoice via bank transfer.  Payment via Paypal must be agreed in advance, and  will incur a 6% charge to cover their fees.

Late Payment:

If you think payment could take longer than 30 days, then this must be agreed to in advance.  If outstanding payment exceeds thirty days without prior agreement,  fees will be applied to the total as per the Late Payment of Commercial Debt Act of 2002. 

With self-directed sessions (when you will not be listening in to us as we record), we will normally send you a sample to approve, or ask you to cite one of our previous projects as a guide to how you want us to voice your project.  Assuming that the approach has been agreed - if you aren't 100% happy with the submitted recording afterwards, we are happy to attempt again until you are completely satisfied.  If script changes are made after the recording, we will charge a revision fee.  This fee will be proportionate to the extent of the changes made to the script, 

With directed sessions (where you have listened in and provided feedback during the recording), we will give you a copy of every take recorded during the session, so you can pick and choose what you want.  We will have agreed in advance how long the session should be to cover everything in your project, and confirmed a price accordingly.  If the session necessitates going over the agreed time, then we will charge according to our basic studio fee rate of £200/hour.  This would be a minimum of £50 for up to 15 minutes, £100 for an extra half hour, or payment for the full hour for any longer.  Any further changes, either to the script or project, will have to be negotiated and billed as an new order.
