Script and scope
Length, complexity, number of versions and editing or mastering needs.
Fair rates. Clear expectations.
A practical guide to how professional voiceover fees are agreed, and how we work with clients and artists.
START WITH THE PROJECT
Every voiceover has its own brief.
Voice artist fees depend on what you’re recording, how the recording will be used, and the creative and technical requirements. Rather than quote a one-size-fits-all price, we help you get a rate tailored to your project.
Auditions are free to request.
Tell us what you need and we'll help you hear suitable voices and receive individual quotes.
Request auditionsWHAT SHAPES A QUOTE?
The details make the difference.
These are some of the factors a professional artist will consider.
Usage and audience
Where it will be heard, in which territories and for how long.
Recording requirements
Directed sessions, delivery formats, timing and technical specifications.
Voice and turnaround
An artist’s experience, availability and the required delivery deadline.
INDUSTRY GUIDANCE
Explore established UK rate guidance.
For a useful external reference, see the UK voiceover rate guide published by Gravy For The Brain. Equity also publishes agreed minimums in specific areas. These are reference points, not a single fixed price for every artist or project.
A guide, not a tariff
Individual artists determine their own rates, and each project may require a different licence or scope of work.
Clear about the costs. Clear about the process.
We want clients and voice artists to know what to expect when working with VoicesUK.
Direct contact with voice artists does not incur a VoicesUK commission.
Where VoicesUK manages casting, recommendations, auditions or fee negotiations, an additional management fee may apply. The applicable fee is confirmed for the project.
Voice artist applications
Membership applications include a one-off, non-recurring administration fee. All artist showcases are reviewed for quality. If we decline an application, the administration fee is refunded and the submitted showcase materials are removed.
How voiceover fees are agreed
Each artist quotes for the actual brief and its usage. Fees can differ between projects and artists. Licensing, revisions, session requirements and delivery terms should be confirmed before work begins.
