JayBeacham.com-A Voice as an Instrument

I am non-union and prefer it that way. Will negotiate on each project but generally will follow these rates.

General Rates (including overall rates for non-broadcast and small market broadcasts)

These rates apply to voice over work that will be used in promos, commercials, documentaries, and shows for radio, TV, cable, and the Internet in small markets. It also covers narrations, audio books, podcasts, corporate and industrial presentations, films, movie trailers, multimedia (CD/DVD), web sites, voicemails, etc.

[Note: I won’t voice video games, phone systems (IVR) or on-hold messages,]

I charge a studio fee also. $80 per hr. unless otherwise arranged.

[Other work charges including:

Modeling charge normally $150 per hour.

Use of my image $150 per one time use as art class subject, magazine or other use.]
