How and how much?

Well, here we are. If you’re still here then I’m guessing there’s definitely some interest on your part? Or at least some curiosity to see how I might be able help you with your project, right? 

In terms of pricing and costs, well that will depend on a) what you’re after, b) the length of your script, c) what you are using it for. However, for the most part, to make life easy for all of us, I follow the rate card provided by Gravy For the Brain so please have a look there first so you can gauge a ballpark idea of how much the order will be.

My Basic Studio Fee (BSF) is £200 per hour which is calculated based on reading speed of the script/word count. Any necessary post-production costs will vary depending on length of the project. And finally, usage fees will apply depending on how you plan to use the recording. Buyouts may also be discussed. Terms and conditions will be included in the quote.

When you have an idea of what you would like, please get in touch via email and we can start discussions about the next steps. 

Music: One thing you may or may not require is the addition of music. I can do this for a small fee but the music track must be provided by the client.
