Voice Rates

Rates for Voice Services:
You write the script - You name the FEE!

You provide the script, you name the fee! That's our policy.

How does it work? Why do we do it that way? As a producer for 30 years I sometimes had big budgets and sometimes smaller ones. My philosophy as a producer was to make the best track possible because a good track would carry less than great visuals. (to a point for sure but generally very true)

Working around Chicago, I had access to some of the best voice talent in the country. Over the years I developed a level of trust so that when I had a big budget I would pay talent more and when I had less they would still work for me. This worked for everyone and allowed me to produce exceptional tracks even on a tight budget while keeping more of my voice friends working. They knew that I wrote specific scripts just for their style of delivery and that I would always do my best to help them sound terrific. A good producer does that.

So that's it. We're passing that along to you. You have a better budget, please do share with us because even when your budgets are tight we are here to work with you.

Your script - you call the fees.

Retakes and remakes included. We care that your production meets your standards and wow's your clients.

Of course we'll do gratis audition samples to help you get the work and, hopefully, be the voices you want to use on the project. We know that doesn't always work out. We're not the voice of everything. We understand that when a lot of people get involved in creative selection odd choices can be made. We empathize.

When I produce, I don't involve the client in decisions about talent. They can veto who I chose but first choice is mine based on my knowledge of the project and my long time experience in working with voice talent. After all they hired me as the creative "general contractor" for their project. I get to hire the crew and talent that I know and trust. It's good for them and takes a lot off my mind to know we have choice people in the process.

Thanks for considering Anne and I for your project. Know that we will do everything we can to help you make it your best.

Bob Sandidge Professional Audio Design & Voice Over

Need On-Hold Player?

I've been producing
audio since I began my
broadcasting career while still in High School. My favorite thing was producing spots and intros and bumpers for use in the various shows and newscasts.

I moved from radio into corporate work for the Wurlitzer company where I voiced and produced training and promo materials for them.

I started my first corporate communications and media production company in 1971 - ow! that's a while ago. Sold that in '98 to scale down and focus on audio work and to give my friends and associates some marketing assistance. I moved my 16 track studio to my home where I immediately covered up the 16 track mixing board with a desk top for computer and monitors. The reel to reel decks were banished to the garage. I went from editing with razor blades (something I actually liked a lot!) to editing digital waveforms. Faster than blades for sure - and more precise.

Sound Forge Acid Pro took over the work of the 16 track deck which is now a decorative relic in the bedroom. You have to like this stuff to be able to appreciate a pretty big tape deck as a "decoration."

Thanks to the internet and .mp3's Anne and I provide voices and production for people, companies, and agencies all across the country. English is our only language so far but we are working on Spanish so we can move into that international market.
