For broadcast work, there are two main components of the voiceover fee: BSF + Usage ​ Basic Studio Fee ​ Professional voiceover artists have a recording fee called the 'Basic Studio Fee' (BSF). The BSF is the hourly rate voiceover artists charge while recording. The BSF varies between voiceover artists, but it's usually between £100 and £400. My BSF is £250 per hour. You can get a good idea of what a voiceover will cost by using this fee calculator. ​ Usage ​ The usage fee is calculated by taking several variables into consideration: Who is the client? Where will the voiceover be shown or heard? Is for broadcast or non-broadcast? How many times will it be shown or heard? For how long? For television, the number of TVRs (TeleVision Ratings) are calculated for the usage fee.

All voiceovers recorded for broadcast or streaming are licenced for 12 months from date of delivery. If a voiceover will be used for longer, an addtional 12, 24 or 48 month licence can be agreed, for which a further usage fee is charged.

I am happy to travel to client/third-party recording studios, but a deposit of 25% of the agreed fee must be paid before the booking is confirmed.

Unless a client requests otherwise, all audio delivered securely via Email, Dropbox or Google Drive in uncompressed WAV format at 48kHz - for which there is no charge. Voiceovers can also be delivered on CD-R or USB drive for an additional fee of £15 (including P+P).

No. ISDN is outdated technology and no longer available. BT's ISDN network is being switched off before the end of 2025. Instead, I use a dedicated ultra fast fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) internet connection capable of very high quality audio and video streaming.

While every voiceover job is undertaken at the discretion of the artist, there have been rare instances where I have declined a voiceover job due to contractual or ethical reasons.

Unless the client specifies, all voiceover audio I record receives basic editing treatment such as topping and tailing and mastering. If you require audio editing beyond the basics, I am happy to do so for a small additional fee. For example, some clients require voiceover audio to be separated into multiple audio files and formats, de-breathed and mastered for immediate broadcast.

Yes, but mostly for small and medium non-broadcast projects.

During my availability hours (at the bottom of the homepage), I am able to record, master and deliver audio to you within 1 hour. Sometimes it can take a little longer depending on my workload, but I always strive to meet client deadlines.

All invoices must be paid within 30 days unless a longer invoicing period is agreed in writing.

Yes. Clients are welcome to direct voiceover sessions using ipDTL, Skype, Facebook Messenger or Zoom.

Yes, I'm happy to help write and/or edit your script.

Yes, but please book at least 24 hours in advance. However, if you require a voiceover urgently, I will do my best to help.
