Rates
🎙️ Transparent Rates. Zero Friction.
I believe the business side of voiceover should be just as smooth as the audio. No hidden fees, no complicated jargon, and no surprises on the final invoice.
My pricing is built on or below the standard industry guidelines (Gravy for the Brain), but streamlined to give you a competitive, premium product without blowing your production budget.
Most projects are quoted using a Basic Studio Fee (BSF) plus a usage fee depending on where the audio will live. Here is a breakdown of what you can expect for standard projects.

The "No Surprises" Revision Policy
Production changes happen. Here is exactly how I handle them so you always know where you stand:
-
The "My Bad" Guarantee: Any missed words, technical glitches, or mispronunciations (from a provided guide) are fixed immediately at absolutely no cost.
-
Dialing in the Performance: For self-recorded sessions, my standard rate includes one round of minor pacing or tone adjustments to make sure we hit the exact vibe you need.
-
Script Rewrites: If your writer changes the copy after the audio has been recorded, or you change creative direction after a live session has wrapped, minor pickups are simply billed at a standard studio fee starting at £50 / $75.
💳 Billing & Onboarding
For all new and international clients, invoices are settled upfront prior to the delivery of the final, un-watermarked audio files. Once we have established a great working relationship, I am more than happy to move to standard 30-day invoicing terms!
