Hugh does a great job of explaining the voice over rate guide in this webinar. the more people than know how to charge correctly, the better chance we have of keeping the voice over rates at the level they need to be. Thanks as always GFTB!
Thanks for elaborating on Buyouts and In Perpetuity. I had a client recently insist on those terms, claiming “that’s what everyone does”, but using your knowledge, I was able to convert the job to a 1 year buyout, leaving my options open for the future, and more importantly, not creating a scenario where a future job might be a conflict of interest to a gig I gave In Perpetuity to. I appreciate the clarity you provided on this sticky subject.
I’ve watched this about 6 times now to try and get my head around it all! Very useful info.
When you send a quote to the client, do you put in a breakdown of the costs?
One question – regarding licenses in perpetuity. if it comes to it and you have to up your buyout to huge levels, is there a general guide for what that percentage should be?
Hi Hugh,
I have a client that has the following request for a job that was already done. The job was 270 words; 1m:48s; useage: Internet Video. Now the client has the opportunity to do it on national radio. I am not sure what what rates to charge as I’m relatively new to VO.
Requested usage from client: “the national radio usage would be for the UK, rather than the US – so a considerably smaller audience and it would be only broadcast on 1 day. It would also be in a PR capacity rather than in a paid advert.”
Is there a rate guide that you can suggest to be able to know what range to charge for the additional license (for such a request)?

That’s fantastic news Jeff. 🙂
So informative! Do you have any boilerplate license agreement documents out there so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel?
Hi Teaddy – already included in the invoices / quotes in the GFTB Voiceover CRM. 🙂
First job from home studio; do i need to change my rate for paid social media?

This was excellent – really informative.
