When you hire Ben, you’re hiring a highly-trained, multi award-winning, professional voice actor with over three decades of industry experience.

Ben is passionate about Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Just like the ever-changing world we live in, change in the voiceover industry is constant, so Ben is always striving to improve and inform his craft and creative process, with ongoing coaching from some of the industry’s top practitioners. He regularly attends workshops, seminars and industry conferences and his broadcast quality studio is always evolving through new technology and industry trends.

Ben has received multiple award nominations and is a three times SOVAS Voice Arts Award winner, a testament to his hard work commitment to the craft of voice acting.

Additionally, when you hire Ben, you can rest assured that you’re working with a true professional who;

• has an innate ability to decipher your scripts

• can effortlessly create a voice that captures the essence of your brand

• takes direction well and adapts his delivery accordingly

• as a classically trained actor, has the skills and creativity to offer alternate reads for greater choice and relishes the chance for ad-libbing for increased authenticity.

• is just as passionate about your project as you are.

• is trusted by a wealth of global corporations like Nike, Amazon, Santander, Emirates Airlines, Unicef, Barclays and The BBC.

• is reliable, amenable and a pleasure to collaborate with.

No two voiceover jobs are the same, so I treat all enquiries individually & provide bespoke quotes based on all available factors such as script length, studio time, broadcast medium, usage etc.

My business has fixed costs which are passed on to you in my Basic Session Fee (BSF) of £225 GBP. This fee covers

• Hire of my studio & equipment

• Script preparation

• Professional, noise-free recording

• Live session direction if required using Source Connect, ipDTL, Cleanfeed, Zoom or Skype

• Quality control (proof listening)

• Editing (if required

• Upload & delivery of pristine audio file in a format & sample rate of your choosing - in most cases 48 hours or less

• 2 years audio storage

In addition to my BSF, I also charge a Usage Fee, depending on how and where the voiceover will be used (eg: online, internally within a company, at a conference, or broadcast on radio or TV). The Usage Fee covers your licence to “broadcast” that voice recording. There are Organic Usage licences and Commercial Usage licences and the prices vary.

1) Use the Contact Form or email Ben to get in touch. Explain your project, audience, any budget or deadlines you may have, and if you want, include a sample of your script so that a demo of the read can be provided along with a guide to tone, pace and any other helpful notes.

2) Ben will respond with a quote and if requested, a sample recording of your script.

3) If you’re happy, email back a confirmation and attach the final script. Make sure the script is 100% correct as any alterations after this point may incur additional charges to those quoted (see FAQ 4).

4) You can listen in to the session and give live direction if required using Source Connect, ipDTL, Cleanfeed, Zoom, Teams or Skype. Or you can just wait for the files to arrive! It's up to you.

5) Ben will record the full script, providing alternative reads for options and send you the audio file in any format and sample rate of your choosing, plus his invoice.

6) If you are satisfied with the recording, confirm this with Ben and pay the invoice. If you feel that the read is not quite right, or something is mispronounced then email back with specific re-recording instructions. You only pay once you're completely satisfied with the recording.

The agreed fee is payable within 30 days of invoice via online bank payment/transfer. Payment via Paypal must be agreed in advance and will incur a 5% charge to cover fees.

Upon acceptance of the script and subsequent delivery of the voiceover, and within 30 days, you may request up to two re-takes if relating to clarity, pronunciation, interpretation or overall narrative feel. Further re-takes will be charged at 50% of original cost.

Technical/pronunciation errors will be corrected free of charge.

The recording of a script that was revised after the first text was officially approved and recorded, is regarded and billed as a new project at 1/3rd of the original fee.
