Question about asking price...

Hi! I was asked if I have a set rate for my voice talent and I don't, so I was wondering what other people charge. Thanks!

The answer to such a question is "Yes". The follow up question will be "How much?" The response to this is that it depends on the job.

There are rate guides available all over the place here and on the web if you do a bit of searching.

You can even log into your voice123 account and use their resource guides there to find suggested rates.

Another good chart is this one at TOS:

Remember, rates vary per person- these should be your starting point.

Personally, I like to look to AFTRA first, then subtract 5-10% and remind the client they chose non-union, not non-talented. (Only I say it much nicer than that...hah!)

Bob Bergen summed it up nicely here:
