Notes:
Voicing Fee The fee is calculated using the final length of the recorded voice time (not the time spent recording), rounded up to 30 seconds.
Prices are in US Dollars Unless otherwise arranged the person requesting the voice over must be prepared to pay by credit card (Visa, Master Card or American Express). Credit card details must be provided prior.
Delivery The above price includes delivery by email. Where it is requested, or where the file size exceeds 10MB, the voice recordings may be delivery by airmail CD for a fee of $20.
Re-Recordings If the recordings are defective, the voice artist should rerecord the voice over without any further charge. If the rerecording is not due to a defect but some stylistic preference (eg pronunciation), the fee to rerecord that part will be 1/2 of the scale fee.

Quote-Only Voices
Voices marked with a * are quote-only voices. Send them your script with a description of what the script is to be used for and they will provide you with a quote within 2 days.

Translation
For voice overs to be recorded in a language other than english, if the script is provided in english, then translation rates apply between 15c and 30c per english word.
