Quick Turnaround Movie Voice Overs

The voice over talent rates and fee structures in place at audio production facilities and agencies differs from company to company. While each agency or studio has its own pricing policies, there are several industry trends and standards prospective clients can expect to encounter when shopping around for voice over talent.

Things to Know About Voice Over Talent Rates for Movie, TV, Radio and Online Ads

However, voice over talent rates may be affected by any number of other factors, including:

• The actor's reputation and experience level
• Whether the actor is male or female or has any rare or special qualities (such as particular vocal abilities)
• The relative availability of the type of actor (male, female, specialty) sought by the client
• Whether additional effects, such as music or sound effects, are to be added in-studio

Determining pricing isn't always an easy process for the prospective client. Some studios insist on negotiating prices with customers, making an initial effort to get the client to overpay before reducing the fees after negotiations. This can trap clients who haven't done enough research into the industry or shopped around enough to know what constitutes a fair price to pay. Other times, agencies or studios expect clients to pay in full before hearing the final product, leaving the client little recourse in the event they are unsatisfied with the result.
