So they can save them to their ‘favorites’ list. During the QUICKcast booking they are shown only the voice talent’s first name and a link to their profile. Kurt: The client would need to pay the regular rates, as set out on the VOICE OVER RATES page. You mention that booking work this way, “the client will need to hire the same voice again in the future if scripts are updated or revised.” Are talent now locked in at the $55 or $85 rate? I would find it highly unlikely anyway that any production company or ad agency would use this feature, with only being able to give the voice limited direction.

Kurt: Part of the terms and conditions of QUICKcast is that it is not used for radio or TV broadcast jobs.

Marc: Is there anything in place to stop clients from booking local, regional or even national commercials for radio and television using this system, knowing they can get a professional talent for a fraction of the industry standard prices for these projects? It’s important to note that in the past three months some of our rates have actually gone up, and others are going up next month. It is also anonymous, no one can come to the site and see who is participating in it. If a talent does not want to be a part of it they don’t need to. So we are constantly trying to offer add-ons to increase the rate. The client can also request music to be added under the voice for an extra $20. QUICKcast is purposely marketed to clients with low budgets, for small non-broadcast projects and limited knowledge of giving a voice over direction. So with all of the above in mind, there is no way a client can come along and get a voice for a national TV commercial and choose that voice for $55. The feature would never be used by anyone wanting to select the voice for their script, or who wants to direct the session.

So in reality this really only leaves clients that are looking for a voice recording for their phone system, a welcome message to their website, or any other application where the client just wants a pro sounding recording. The audio cannot be used for anything that is going to be broadcast on radio or TV. The talent gets the script, records and sends it back to the client for approval. The QUICKcast feature cuts out the audition process entirely. We wanted to offer both voice talent and clients set rates that were affordable and that most voice talent would agree are workable.įrom our research and honest conversations and feedback from many clients who visited our site looking for a professional voice talent, we realised that many would baulk at anything over $100, especially for a short recording that was going to have a limited audience. No matter how anyone tries to spin it, with so many voice talent flooding other sites you are going to get them underbidding their peers to get the job. Kurt: The Voice Realm came into the marketplace with a goal to stop voice talent from bidding in auction-like job postings. So how do you respond to talent who question the rates of your new QUICKcast system, which are $55 for a :30 and $85 for a :60? To many it seems to be a total reversal of the rates position you’ve always taken. Marc: The Voice Realm has always touted itself as a site strictly for professionals and frequently promotes having the best rates. My hope was that some of the questions many talents are asking would be answered. I decided to reach out to the operators and give them a chance to share their side of the story on QUICKcast. Offering voice overs for as little as $55 is hardly the way to sustain a business or earn a decent living for a professional doing this work full-time. When The Voice Realm, a site that has promoted itself for having the best professional talent and the best rates, announced it’s new QUICKcast system, a lot of voice actors were immediately turned off.
