If there’s one question every new single solitary voice actor who’s starting to seek work asks starting out it’s this: How much should I charge?

If you're just starting out, the answer isn’t as simple as “pick a number and hope for the best.” Rates in voiceover aren’t arbitrary; they’re based on industry standards, market value, and genre. 

So let’s break this down the right way, because guessing—or even worse, undercharging—can do more damage than you think.
