‘What’s Your Rate?’ you ask. I ask, ‘What’s Your Budget?’

Seems like a standoff? No need to duel; I follow the rate standards of the GVAA Rate Guide. It’s a thoroughly researched breakdown of industry-standard non-union rates, organized by usage.

Got a project, but unsure about usage or rate? Just ask. We’ll figure out the appropriate usage category together.

Revisions, Retakes, & Pickup Policy

 
  • Retakes (my mistakes — it happens, I’m a human) are always included at no cost.

    Performance Retakes (undirected sessions):

    For undirected sessions, where I am recording the files in my studio at my own direction and sending them to you, if you need me to re-do lines for performance reasons, I’m happy to do one round of Performance Retakes at no cost.

    Please try to communicate any and all direction and/or change of direction at this time. After the first round of retakes, subsequent rounds are charged as Revisions, below.

  • Revisions (changes made to the script after recording):

    Minor Revisions (one or two words, < 15 min): $150 minimum or 50% of original rate.

    Major Revisions (more than two words): $260/30 minutes in session, or 50% of the original rate.

    Re-Reads => 30% of the original script: Original rate

  • If retakes are required for pronunciation preferences that are not specified either by a pronunciation guide or otherwise in writing, these will be treated as Revisions and are billable.

    Examples: “ee-ther” vs. “eye-ther,” “off-ten” vs. “off-en,” “oh” vs. “zero,” “toe-mate-o” vs. “toe-maht-o,” etc.

    When sending a change request, please highlight the lines in the original script or list the full sentence to be re-recorded, the sentence before, and the sentence after so I know the context of the change. If applicable, please include the time index of the video so I can better match tone and pace.

    Please submit all change requests within 30 days of receiving the original recording. After 30 days, any and all change requests will be charged the original rates.

    New clients are billed upfront unless otherwise agreed upon.
