I’m Steve, and I’ve been a professional Australian voice actor for 40+ years.
45 years ago, my parents warned me to not get into radio. I ignored them, and it's been a roller coaster ride ever since!
I left radio 34 years ago, and became a freelance voice talent, as well as a biochemist, IT sysadmin and wine lab manager (Yum!).
I have an Honours Degree in Biotechnology, and I'm pretty comfortable reading to any subject.
Here are some adjectives that have been used to describe my voice and style: Deep, Energetic, Smooth , Clean, Cheeky, Strong, Versatile, Authoritative, Creative and Fun.
However, the most pleasant word used to describe my voice is:
Hired.
Every voice actor sets their own rate. All of our talents are pros, but the cost can vary depending on their experience and skill level.
Generally speaking, voice over rates depend on:
- Will the voice over be for broadcast and paid ads, or organic, non-promotional use?
- The length of the script (word count).
- Do you need the voice over fully edited and production-ready, or just the raw audio?
- Do you want to direct the voice artist in real-time, or can they record independently?
Many of our voice actors follow our pricing schedule, but you’ll find that rates are negotiable, so if you let them know what you can afford, there’s a good chance they’ll accommodate you!
