How fast can you deliver voice overs?

I typically deliver voice overs within 24-48 hours. Turnaround depends on the scope of your project, but I’m known for delivering clean, polished audio quickly and reliably.

What’s included in your standard voice over rate?

My standard voice over rate includes one edited and broadcast-quality voice over file, recorded in my sound treated home studio.

Do you charge extra for usage rights?

Rates for broadcast, paid digital, and long-term usage are typically higher than internal or non-broadcast work, and are included in the total quote. All usage rights and job rates must be clearly defined before any recording begins.

Do you offer discounts for bulk or ongoing projects?

For bulk (3 or more projects) or ongoing projects, I apply a 10% discount to your total order.
