Great Voice Over Talent Rates

Voice talent rates are more affordable than many people think. While working with non-union professionals can save clients on talent expenses, even unionized voice over specialists charge rates that are well within the reach of even low advertising budgets. The casting challenges associated with casting non-union performers can be overcome by locating a versatile, experienced service provider with diverse resources at its disposal.

Factors That Affect Voice Talent Rates

Several factors influence the voice over talent rates charged by various agencies and studios, including:

• The relative experience level of the performer, and his or her reputation and standing in the industry
• The anticipated length of the final produced piece
• Whether or not additional effects, such as music or special sound effects, are going to be added
• Whether the job is one time only, or whether services will be retained on an ongoing basis

The rise of digital audio production and distribution has helped to keep voice talent rates affordable in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Today, produced audio can be distributed to clients electronically, making for easy integration into a video piece and allowing clients around the world to choose performers based on their suitability for the project, not their relative proximity.

ProVoiceUSA, unlike many independent performers and other studios, never haggles over prices with clients, instead using a very affordable all-inclusive fee structure. Clients are also able to listen to demonstrations of how the final product will sound before paying any fees or committing to a particular performer, and the studio delivers the final product promptly--sometimes as quickly as one business day.
