Voice Over's & TV Presenters

Fees for Voice Over’s and TV Presenters depend on a number of factors: whether you work in television, radio or corporate, how many regions you are Broadcast in, the way you are Broadcast ie; TV, Radio or Internet.
Artists are booked based upon the industry experience they’ve had -or from the variety of styles they are able to demonstrate on their show reel.
When Presenters who have just entered the industry come to us they usually have 3- 4 clips on their reel. More experienced performers will have a more substantial portfolio that demonstrates a wider variety of styles.

Here are some rough guidelines:

TV commercials: £200-£3,000 ( 2 hour recording + Buy Out Fee)
Foreign TV commercials: £200-£1,500 (2 hour recording + Buy Out Fee)
Radio commercials: £50-£200 (if national, this will be over £1,000)
TV and Radio Announcements: £50-£200 per hour
CD Rom's: £50-£200 per hour
Audio Books: up to £1000 per day
Internet: negotiable

Guest Speakers: negotiable
Foreign Language Voiceovers: £100-£200 per hour
TV Presenters: £100 per day - £5,000 per week
Training Films: £100-£200 per hour

Some of these figures are based on the number of times the advertisement is used, and how it’s Broadcast.
In the case of voiceovers and commercial TV Presenters, there is a basic studio fee of £100-£200 per hour and a usage fee for one year which can be up to, or over £3,000.
