There’s a moment every voice actor dreams of—when a client emails, not for an audition, not to ask about rates, but to say, “Hey, we’ve got another project for you.” No hoops, no hurdles, no audition, just repeat business landing straight in your inbox.

If you’ve been in the game for any length of time, you know that getting work isn’t the hardest part—getting clients to come back is where the real magic happens.

So, what’s the secret? What makes a client think of you first when their next project lands on their desk? It’s not just about talent. It’s not even about price.

If there’s one question every new single solitary voice actor who’s starting to seek work asks starting out it’s this: How much should I charge?

If you're just starting out, the answer isn’t as simple as “pick a number and hope for the best.” Rates in voiceover aren’t arbitrary; they’re based on industry standards, market value, and genre.

So let’s break this down the right way, because guessing—or even worse, undercharging—can do more damage than you think.

Why would anyone in their right mind PASS on a $1.1 million audition? And Paul, aren’t you the one always beating us over the head with, “Stand up for pro rates, “Know your worth,” “Make it worth your time,” and on and on?

First of all, who ever said I was in my right mind?

Secondly, I absolutely beat the drum of “Stand up for pro rates, “Know your worth,” and “Make it worth your time.”

So why did I pass on a 1.1 million-dollar commercial audition? Why did I not even take a swing? Have I stroked out? Lost my marbles? Has Pauly’s Little Choo-Choo gone around the bend?

Today I’m going to lay out for you exactly why it took me less than two minutes to pass on this opportunity, and why... maybe…you should have, too.
