I hate complicated pricing, don't you? That's why I offer simple yet flexible pricing that allows you to by the minute, by the word, or by the hour. I can accommodate whichever way you wish to pay and I am happy to work within your available budget.
​
Though project rates may vary due to your project's unique specifications, basic price ranges are as follows for the types of voiceover that I do: eLearning, Explainer Videos, & Corporate Narration

Price RangEs

 $20 - $30
per minute​ 
 
​​$.15 - $.20
per word
​
$1,200 - $1,800
per hour

The rates shown are in U.S. dollars. Typical corporate, eLearning, explainer projects fall within the middle to lower-middle of these ranges 90% of the time (e.g. $25 per minute, $.18/word, $1,500 per hour) . Prices only increase when the complexity of your project increases. 

​Here are some factors to consider when planning and budgeting for your project:

Things that typically ​decrease the price:
​

• ​Flexible turnaround (48 hrs or more)
• ​Limited or no retakes required​
• Well-organized, conversational copy​​
• ​I self-direct during the session
• Fewer file splits & simple file labeling
• Minimal editing & audio processing​
• Larger, multi-module projects​

Things that typically increase the price:
​

• Ultra-fast file delivery (under 24 hours)
• Script changes​ after recording begins​​
• ​Dense, technical copy
• ​Live client direction​
• Complex file splits & labeling
• Difficult audio editing & effects
• ​Small, one-time projects

GVAA Rate GUide

Any professional voice talent worth his or her salt will price their services somewhere in the neighborhood of the rates outlined in the Global Voice Acting Academy rate guide -- the industry standard guide for voiceover pricing and services.

​The prices and usage restrictions I've outlined above conform, for the most part, to the GVAA rate guide. However, in the spirit of transparency and trust, I encourage you to take a peek at the guide yourself. I think you'll find my rates to be more than fair.
