Guideline only. Fees remain subject to negotiation and agreement between contracting parties. This page is designed to make the pricing logic easy to understand.

VO pricing in 60 seconds

Performance = the recording session (the work).
Usage = how far + how long it gets used (the exposure).
Every quote becomes simple when you split it into these two parts.

How VOISA Makes This Simple

If you only remember one thing:

  • Performance is the work (recording session).
  • Usage is the exposure (where + how long it plays).
  • Extras are add-ons (characters, cutdowns, etc.).

This estimator is a guideline tool to help clients budget and help artists understand typical earnings.
