What is the Cost of Using Voice Over Talent in your Videos?

Not everyone loves their own voice.  If you or your client is not super thrilled with

your voice as the narration for a screencast video there are many places you can get Voice Over Talent to make your video seem so much more professional. Below is a short video showing you what is available and how much is will cost you.

Having great audio quality is really the most important part of a good video and even if you like your voice you may not have a high quality microphone or a quiet place to record.  A Private Camtasia Coaching student of mine recently use a professional voice over talent for his company’s video and thought it came out great. He went to http://amazingvoicetalent.com/ and got to listen to lots of voices until he found the pleasant female voice he liked the most.  He sent her a script and she came back with a price quote.

The ability to hire and direct voice talent through the Internet has dramatically changed the voice-over industry. Today, many voice-over talents either have a home studio, or at least, equipment with studio quality, and have in turn become voice producers. They can record and edit the work themselves, and deliver the recording as mp3 files, almost always under very tight deadlines. In this video I show you examples of what you might pay.

One reason you might think twice about using a voice talent is if your narration may change over time.  If you think you will have changes and updates down the road you might have trouble finding the same person to make the changes and you’ll have to start all over with someone new. Even small changes, after they have sent you the audio may be quite expensive.

Best,
