How much should I charge for short children's bedtime story narrations?

Thu, 07 Mar 2013 00:15:42 +0000

I was asked to give an hourly rate for an ongoing project. This involves recording short children's bedtime stories of 3-7 minutes each. The client asked for an hourly "studio time" rate. I will be providing raw, unedited tracks. This is for a children's product that will be sold nationally and internationally. This will be my first experience with narrating children's audiobooks.

What should I be asking for a Contracted Position with multiple projects?

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 22:11:46 +0000

I have worked as the voice over artist for a Theme Park for a number of years now, but it has always been as a side-bar to my normal job and hourly rate. Now I no longer work hourly for the company, but they would like to contract me as their resident Voice Over Artist. This would include narration of a 35 minute movie to be viewed in the park, various in park announcements and advertisements, safety spiels for all rides in the park, show spiels for all theaters, phone system information updates, and other projects as they come up. They are asking how much I am asking for the contract to begin negotiations, and I have no idea where to start. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
