How to Set PROPER PRO Rates by KNOWING Your Worth

Not all voice actors know how to set proper rates. Fewer still know what proper rates are. Even fewer quote them consistently.

Very few voice actors not only know and quote proper rates consistently, but they also know their worth.

Today, we’re going to delve into knowing your voice over rates, knowing and getting grounded in your worth, and the relationship between the two.

Takeaways: Not all voice actors know how to set proper rates, and it is important to be knowledgeable about industry rate guides.

The SAG-AFTRA Rate sheets and the GVAA rate guide provide minimum rates for union and non-union voice actors.

Being grounded in your worth as a voice actor is essential for negotiating rates and spotting bad rates.

Worth is determined by the value of the problem solved for the client, including financial, logistical, and emotional aspects.
