Well, here it is . . . the bottom line stuff.

Feel free to print out our rate sheet for your files (you may want to periodically check our site, though, to see if there've been any updates the next time you're looking for rate information for estimating a voiceover recording job).

If you've perused the rate sheets of the other big voiceover recording studios in town (and in the Midwest, USA), then you'll find Babble-On's rates are competitively priced.

Please Note: The rate sheet is in Adobe Acrobat (PDF file) format. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view and print it.

If you prefer that we fax or e-mail a copy of the rate sheet to you, give us a call at 612-375-0533, or send us an e-mail with your request.
