How do voiceover artists price their work?

Base rates depend on finished audio length, usage (broadcast vs online vs internal), and exclusivity. GVAA Rate Guide recommends $250-$450 for a 30-second commercial. Corporate narration: $300-$500 per finished hour.

What are voiceover usage rights and why do they matter?

Usage rights determine where and how long audio is used. Broadcast TV rights cost more than online/social media. In-perpetuity rights (forever) cost significantly more than a 1-year license.

How to start a freelance voiceover career?

Invest in a quality USB condenser microphone ($150-$300), acoustic treatment (DIY closet studio), and a profile on Voice123 or Backstage. Demo reels in your target niche are essential for booking work.
