How To Hire A Voice Actor

...without the email ping-pong!

If you are wondering how to hire a voice actor, I'm here to tell you that's easy! And yet somehow, it can feel like a lot of work. Especially when it ends up as fifteen emails, three follow-ups, and a lot of “oh sorry, I forgot to mention…”

When you’re thinking of booking a voice actor or feel you are ready to hire a voice over artist, clarity right from the off helps everyone get the best out of the project. Because it’s rarely the script that causes delays. It’s the missing details. Usage? Budget? Where the audio will live? How long it’s running for? All the things that feel obvious once someone asks, but not before.

If you’re wondering how much a voice costs, here’s the honest answer: it depends. There isn’t one fixed price. Voiceover rates are based on multiple factors, and the best way to get a clear answer is simply to ask. The trick is knowing what information a voice over artist actually needs in order to give you an accurate quote.

That’s why I created my Voice Actor Booking Workbook "The Complete Guide To Booking Voice Overs."

It includes loads of information based on everything I've learned I like to be told when being approached about a project. From budget, the project type, script revisions to more practical stuff, my extensive guide with help you focus on what is really important.

And even better, it includes a simple checklist and fill-in form that prompts you with everything upfront. Budget range, usage, script length, deadlines, direction preferences, and audio delivery details. No guesswork. No awkward back and forth. Just clarity from the start.

Clients who use it tend to get what they want first time round, with fewer emails and faster turnaround. Which, let’s be honest, is a win for everyone.
