Free Voice Actor Quote Template
Voice actors quote because usage rights are a major part of the fee: a national TV broadcast costs far more to licence than an internal training video. A quote sets the usage terms, script length, and number of takes before recording begins.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a voice actor charge for a commercial?
A 30-second radio commercial costs €200 to €600 for a local market. National TV broadcast adds a usage fee of €500 to €3,000 or more. Corporate narration (e-learning, explainer videos) typically costs €200 to €500 per finished hour of audio. Rates depend on usage, not just recording time.
What usage rights should a voice acting quote specify?
State the medium (radio, TV, online, internal), the territory (national, regional, global), the duration (12 months, 3 years, perpetual), and the exclusivity. A perpetual internet licence for a small business costs far less than a national broadcast with exclusivity. Price them separately.
Do voice actors include revision takes in their quote?
Most voice actors include one or two takes with minor direction changes in the base rate. Major re-records due to script changes after recording starts are charged additionally, usually at €80 to €150 per session. If the client changes the script after you've recorded, you're entitled to requote.
