| You know we preach, “Stick to industry standard voiceover rates!” here at Atlanta Voiceover Studio. So, I want to share a story of why sticking to voiceover rates wins. |
| A VO talent that has come through Atlanta Voiceover Studio recently shared that she auditioned for a job via a social media platform. The agency/production team messaged and said the client loved her and asked her rate for the project. Based on the GVAA rate guide, she quoted them $2400. The team responded that the client didn’t really have a big budget and they could only do $400. This talent did a really brave thing and said, “I understand but I’ll have to pass with a rate that low.” And guess what, the team came back a day later and said, “We were able to find some money in the budget, so we can pay you the rate you requested.” |
Can you imagine if she just went with the $400 rate? It would literally be like she had lost $2000. The VO industry has so much opportunity and can be a very rewarding career (monetarily & creatively). This story is such a great example that a lot of good can come from sticking to voiceover rates. Have a great week! |
