Hello people,
 
Just want to ask if you were to make the audio for a 60 second explainer video how much would you charge?
This would mean
1. Just Voice Over Production .... (How much?)
2. Voice Over Production With Music and SFX Mixed In (Music ANd SFX Provided from the client) ...  (How Much?)
3. Voice Over Production With Original Music (my composition) and SFX Mixed In? .....  (How Much?)
4. Extra Charge For The Complete Audio Synchronization with the Video .....  (How Much?)
 
I have been offered to do something like this for a 60 sec video but I'm not sure how much to go for. I was thinking about 120 - 150 USD for the full production with my music but without the synchronization.
 
Thanks :)

Only you can know how much you value your time...

...whether the client will pay it, well, that's another story for another time.

Hello and thanks for replying. Is there like an average payment that people that do this charge?

Let's see ... 
 
George Martin ----- 1,500,000 pounds
Bapu -----150 posts on the CH, minus the barbeeQ on the Holiday
Craig ---150 dollas ... might even take Monopoly money if there are other benefits ... like name on the production in the album and such!
Mosh ---- 10 dollars ... only for reading this!
 
There you go ... 
 
 
 
 
 

Forum member 'Yorolpal' does a lot of voiceover work, IIRC. Hopefully he'll chime in.
 
I did a quick search for 'voiceover rates' and quite a few price charts came up.

For me, based on these assumptions:
1.  Work is not for a friend (no favours, etc)
2.  These fees would include a couple of free "adjustments"
3.  Work is done on my home studio, costs would increase if I had to work elsewhere
4.  Any hardware or software purchases would be extra.
5.  Work is for a small business.  If it's for a large corporation, prices would double.
 
1. Just Voice Over Production .... $200
2. Voice Over Production With Music and SFX Mixed In (Music ANd SFX Provided from the client) ... $300
3. Voice Over Production With Original Music (my composition) and SFX Mixed In? .....  $1000
4. Extra Charge For The Complete Audio Synchronization with the Video .....  No clue, never done it.
