I wanted to run a rate question by you…I got booked for recording names for virtual graduations…what is the industry standard for per hour rate? I can’t find any info specifically for something like this. What are your thoughts?

Hi! I recommend you look through our Rate Card and use it as a jumping off point: https://edgestudio.com/rate-cards/
Specifically, use the Announcements and Live Events section to give you an idea of what to charge.

How do you all send in your auditions to voice agencies and companies? Some great new technologies are making it easier to record directly on companies’ websites – but would you rather record an audition live or pre-record in advance and then submit it later?

Still very new to voice acting and just doing a lot of research. I noticed that there are always cities that get brought up when it comes to voice acting, and they all have sort of generalized specialization (LA’s good for everything, NYC is good for commercials/film, Dallas is good for anime dubbing, etc.)

Denver almost never gets brought up and I assume that’s because it’s a very small market. However, for everyone who’s familiar with the industry here, what is it like and what does it generally focus on? Thanks in advance.
