Quoting voice-over work at a fixed price
A voice-over quote should separate the session fee from usage, naming the media, territory and term, and say how pickups are charged.
The quote turns 1 hours of labour into a fixed $60.00; if the job runs over, the voice-over business absorbs the extra time, so quote hours you are confident about.
The biggest single commitment is "Usage licence: paid online and social, US, 1 year" at $500.00 (38% of the price): name the exact model, grade or deliverable so there is no argument about what was promised.
What is fixed in this quote
- Services: Recording session, 60-second spot, 30-second cutdown read and Live directed session and 2 more, fixed at $750.00.
- Fees: Usage licence: paid online and social, US, 1 year, fixed at $500.00.
- Labour: Audio editing and breath cleanup, fixed at $60.00.
- Anything outside "A 60-second online ad read and a 30-second cutdown with one year of paid social usage" needs a new quote or a signed variation.
The acceptance block
A quote becomes an agreement when the customer accepts it; leave room at the bottom of quote QUO-9284 for:
- The accepted price, $1,310.00, and the quote number
- Customer name (Robin Okafor in the sample), signature and date
- When payment is due: Net 30
- The last day the price holds (30 days after issue in this sample)
Voice-Over Artist pricing tips
- Split the session fee from the usage fee: the recording is paid once, while the usage line names media, market and term and gets invoiced again whenever the client renews.
- Bill pickups by cause, because small fixes for your own misreads are normally free, while re-records forced by a script rewrite after approval are paid and should say so.
- Spell out the date usage ends, since online ads often keep running long after the licence term, and that date is the basis for a renewal invoice.
- Long-form narration such as e-learning modules or audiobooks is better invoiced per finished minute or finished hour, with the finished runtime printed on the line.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write a Voice-Over artist quote?
List exactly what is included (7 lines for a 60-second online ad read and a 30-second cutdown with one year of paid social usage in the sample), give one fixed price ($1,310.00), the validity period and payment terms, and add a signature block for acceptance.
Is a Voice-Over artist quote binding once accepted?
Generally yes: an accepted quote is a fixed-price offer for the scope it describes, so extra work needs a new quote or a signed variation. Local contract law decides the details.
Should a Voice-Over artist quote ask for a deposit?
It depends on the job size; for voice-over work the usual terms are net 30, and a deposit is optional.
