These are the minimum/base rates we use to provide estimates for projects. And while our rates are 'set,' we are keenly aware that every project has a budget. We can work with you to let you know what can be accomplished with the dollars you have available.

Please write or call to discuss your project. We look forward to speaking with you!

Long-format Voiceover recording - Non-broadcast:

Prices listed are for Finished Minutes of Audio based on 135 words spoken per minute.
