Affordable, not amateur.

Cheap voice actors are easy to find. Good ones at a fair rate are the trick. Ours audition to get on the roster, record from their own studios and work to one published rate card, so the money goes to the voice, not to an agency.

Hand-picked. Every one.

Most sites let anyone pay to join. Ours audition to get in. Same pros the big brands book.

Free auditions. Of your script.

Not a stock demo. Your words, read by real voices, before you spend a cent.

One rate card. No bidding.

Every voice actor here also lists on The Voice Realm, which is where your casting, the auditions and the booking will live. Same roster, same rates. This is just the front door for people who care about the bill.

Questions

About affordable voice actors

Why are your voice actors so affordable?

There is no agency, no studio to hire and no bidding. Every voice on the roster records from a professional home studio and works to one published rate card, so what you see on the card is the voice actor's rate for the job. A QUICKcast read starts at $55, a thirty second web video at $60 with a free audition first, and your full total is shown before you pay.

What is QUICKcast?

The budget route for a short, non-broadcast script when you don't mind which pro reads it, as long as they are professional and affordable. Pay $55 for up to 30 seconds or $85 for 30 to 60 seconds, upload the script and your direction, pick from a hand of voices that fit your brief, and the recording comes back ready to use. No auditions, no agency.

Cheap voice actors or affordable voice actors, what's the difference?

Cheap is a race to the bottom: anyone with a microphone bidding lowest. Affordable is a working pro at a fair rate with the middle people taken out. Ours audition to get on the roster, so you get the second kind at a price that looks like the first.

Are the auditions really free?

Yes. Post your script, hand-picked voices record a sample of your actual words, and nothing is charged until you choose one and book. If nobody is right, you owe nothing.

How fast will I hear something?

The first audition usually lands within the hour and a good stack within the day. Once you book, the finished recording is usually back within 24 hours, and many voices turn it round in four.

Are these real people or AI voices?

Real people in real studios. Every audition and every booked recording is performed by a working voice actor, which is exactly why the reads sound like they cost more than they do.

What if the recording isn't what I wanted?

Pick another voice. If the first recording isn't right for the job, you choose a different voice from the roster and the same script is recorded again. It covers scripts under 300 words, within seven days, where you booked without auditioning that voice first. The details are on the satisfaction guarantee page.

Do you have both male and female voice actors?

Both, in every age range, with American, British, Australian and neutral English accents plus Spanish, French, German and dozens more languages. Filter the listing, or describe what you need in a casting and let the right voices come to you.

Do I have to sign up to see the rates?

No. The rate card is public. Go by your word count and where the audio will run and you can cost the whole job before you post it. Nobody bids, so the number does not move.

Your script deserves a real voice. Your budget deserves a break.
