How are rates quoted?
In order to accurately quote the project, here’s what I’ll need to know.
Genre:
Please describe the type of project you are making. Commercial, narration, promo, corporate, etc.
Usage:
How will the product be used? Will it be broadcast on the radio, television, or the internet, or will be used internally for corporate? Please include market size or the potential reach of the project as well, such as local, regional, or national.
Duration:
How long will the voice over be used? 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.
Retakes and Revisions Policy
- Retakes (my mistakes) are included at no cost.
- Revisions (changes made to the script after recording):
- Minor Revisions (one or two words): $50
- Major Revisions (more than two words): $100 minimum
- Re-Reads => 30% of the original script: Original rate
Performance Retakes (undirected sessions):
For undirected sessions, where I am recording the files in my studio at my own direction and sending them to you, if you need me to re-do lines for performance reasons, I’m happy to do one round of Performance Retakes at no cost. Please try to communicate any and all direction and/or change of direction at this time. After the first round of retakes, subsequent rounds are charged as Revisions, above.
If retakes are required for pronunciation preferences that are not specified either by a pronunciation guide or otherwise in writing, these will be treated as Revisions and are billable. Examples: “ee-ther” vs. “eye-ther,” “off-ten” vs. “off-en,” “oh” vs. “zero.”
When sending a change request, please highlight the lines in the original script or list the full sentence to be re-recorded, the sentence before, and the sentence after so I know what I’m talking about. If applicable, please include the time index of the video so I can better match tone and pace.
Please submit all change requests within 30 days of receiving the original recording. After 30 days, any and all change requests will be charged the original rates.
About
Dovydas Abarius is known for his deep awareness and creative intuition. He specializes in making clients and audiences feel listened to and truly understood.
His voiceover career began at his college radio station, where he developed experience hosting, producing, and editing while earning his Bachelor’s in Electronic Media & Broadcasting at Appalachian State University. He continued working in broadcast for iHeartMedia, and he was awarded the Ria’s Rising Star award for new on-air performers. The transition into full time voiceover and on-camera work just made sense, and Dovydas has done work for a myriad of clients including Sherwin Williams, Honeywell, and Syracuse University.
In addition to his broadcasting background, Dovy’s musical experience (ask him about his college a-cappella days!) gives him an ear for pacing and the ability to easily interpret direction and apply feedback. His identity as a Lithuanian immigrant provides him with a unique perspective and a clear point of view. Watching Saturday morning cartoons and playing video games as a child informed his early love for characters, and his warm, youthful energy evokes the same weekend comfort for listeners now.
Dovydas is your go-to guy across genres, from exciting commercial copy, video games, corporate explainers, to e-learning and beyond. For your next project, allow I Hear You VO to help bring out the best in your story and welcome listeners with ease.
