Commercials

Rates for commercials depend on the medium (radio, TV, internet) and audience reach (local, national, international). For example:

  • Radio commercials follow Equity guides.
  • TV & online ads have additional usage fees based on exposure and duration. See usefee.tv

Telephony (On-Hold, IVR)

Voiceover for phone systems is often charged per prompt or follows corporate narration rates for longer recordings. Prices typically start at £10 per prompt.

I am always open to negotiation, especially for long-term or bulk projects. Please clarify script length, usage, and turnaround time when requesting quotes. Thank you.
