I have invested in my career as a voice actor. I have a high quality personal studio and a thorough knowledge of my equipment, recording and editing software. I produce audio recordings that are not only engaging, but are also professional; are technically clean and which have the highest possible production values designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding clients.

​I believe that I should be adequately paid for this work; not only for the time I spend on a project, but also for my attention to detail and for the quality I produce and for my nearly fifty years of experience as an actor, producer, director, voice actor and audiobook narrator.

My rates are based on Equity rates where applicable and on widely accepted industry guidelines.  I am happy to negotiate on a project by project basis and I will try to be flexible, especially for regular and repeat clients - so please do contact me to discuss your individual project.
​

Audiobooks:
Audiobooks are normally paid per finished hour - a fixed amount, based on the running time of the finished audiobook. 

For remote recording from my personal studio my rates range from £110PFH  to £450 PFH depending on whether I am working for a UK publisher, or a US publisher whose rates are subject to SAG/AGTRA minimum rates, and on whether I am delivering clean raw audio for proofing and editing by the publisher, or whether I am delivering a proofed and edited audiobook ready for release. Any short read, e.g. pamphlet, preface or postscript, poetry, introduction or short story, is subject to my minimum of 1 hour PFH fee. 

If a publisher prefers to pay per studio day - my rates for delivering an average of 3.5 to 4 hours of clean raw audio start at £500 per studio day excluding proofing and editing.

​For longer and self published projects  I am happy to negotiate a stipend - royalty share mix, but am unable to accept solely profit-share project.s

E-Learning:
I normally quote for e-learning based on a word count, starting at .15 per word on a sliding scale - plus BSF of £200. Complex texts requiring more research, for example medical or technical e-learning projects will attract a higher rate. 

General voiceovers:
Including Corporate VO, video narration, business films, internet project, character voices and apps. As with other projects, my minimum rate is £200 BSF plus a project fee based on word count, usage, longevity and platform. Rates vary depending on length and complexity of the project, and I am happy to discuss and negotiate.

Commercials, Animation and Gaming rates: 
I work to Equity guidelines for Commercials, video games, animations and apps. Please contact me for a quote.
