Current Price Guide For 2025/26
Let's Keep It As Simple As We Can!

Different genres are charged in different ways. So the best approach, whatever your project, is to get in touch and ask for a custom quote for your project. I'll get it to you quickly and it'll be accurate. So the more information I have relating to your project, the more accurate my quote will be for you. Please see the How It Works page for more information.
However, as a rough starting point, the information in the table below will give you a good idea of cost breakdown.

Always happy to make a deal that works for both of us!

Please remember, the more information you can give me about your project requirements: the type of voice you are looking for, type of audience, where the voiceover will be used and for how long, etc. the more accurate my quote will be.​
Am I Getting Value For My Money?
To compare my prices against the current standard rates for voice over projects, a good reference point is the Gravy for the Brain Rate Card. Price guides here are set on a Basic Session Fee (BSF), which is like a minimum hourly rate. A lot of voiceovers will charge extra for editing and optimising the audio so, I think you will find that I am an affordable British voiceover, offering excellent value.
For pricing in a different currency, please message me with your script or word count and I will send you a FREE custom no obligation quote in your currency, at exchange rate of the day.
