How Much Will My Script Cost?

Script cost is calculated based on two main criteria: word count and type of script. A good rule of thumb if you’re wondering about your project is to visit voicetalentrates.com to see current market rates for non-union voice over work.

Here’s a basic break down:

General internet use:

• $40 for the first 50 words

• $20 for each additional 100 words

  • (Example: 325 word script would cost $40 + $60 for additional words = $100)

This pricing includes commercial license to use online or for unpaid marketing purposes and 72-hour delivery as well as one minor round of edits if I mispronounce or misread something.

Extras available to make sure your project is perfect! Here are some things you may decide to add:

• Broadcast License (for local TV/Radio/Paid Promotion — ask me about pricing for larger markets) - $45

• HQ WAV File - $5

• Background Music - $15

• Rush Delivery (within 24-hours of a signed contract/agreement) - $30

• Schedule 15-minute call with Eric for extra direction/clarification - $20

• Split project into separate files - $5 (for 5 files)

For longer scripts -- for projects over 2,000 words (training materials, longer educational modules, audio books, etc). pricing is calculated based on “Per Finished Hour" (or PFH). PFH rates for audio books and longer recordings are between $150 and $350 depending on the content and your editing needs. For example, a technical medical manual takes more time, research and effort than a first person perspective short story. An audio book with multiple character voices takes more prep and practice than an introduction employee training module. Prices are discussed on a project by project basis. Contact for details on pricing your project!

When Will You Deliver?

Most shorter projects (under 500 words) can be delivered within 72-hours of signing a contract without any additional cost. Depending on schedule and availability, we can often deliver up to 500 words of professionally recorded and fully edited VO within 24-hours for an additional rush charge of $30. 

What Format Is Delivered?

I deliver recordings in MP3, 16 bit, 44.1 khz format. If your project requires something different, let us know!
