This means that, while the market may appear to be regulated, in reality <strong>professionals negotiate their fees<\/strong> based on the type of assignment they are hired for. Of course, <strong>the professional\u2019s level of experience also<\/strong> affects the fee requested for each voice-over job.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you should always consider whether the professional has a <strong>home studio<\/strong> or needs to <strong>rent a recording studio<\/strong>. In the latter case, the studio costs will increase the price of the voice-over service.<\/p>\n<p>For <strong>voice-overs in foreign languages<\/strong>, always bear in mind that the <strong>rates may be higher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>How much does a voice-over service cost on average? Here are the main expense items that affect voice-over pricing.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The average price of a voice-over service<\/h2>\n<p>To calculate the cost of a dubbing artist, you also need to consider the <strong>length of the text the dubbing artist<\/strong> <strong>has to record<\/strong>. Indeed, just as with correction of drafts or written translations, a voice-over service is based on <strong>setting of a rate of pay per standard unit of measure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In Italy, this unit is a standard page of any kind of text, consisting of <strong>1800 characters subdivided<\/strong> into <strong>30 lines of 60 characters each<\/strong>, including spaces. This means that the 1800 characters of a standard page include not only the words but also the pauses between them, formed by the spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>minimum rate for reading a standard page is 20 euros<\/strong> but may be as much as 40 euros for more complex projects or if the dubbing artist engaged is a professional with a lot of experience in the field. The <strong>average cost of a voice-over service in Italian is about 30 euros per standard page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>EuroTrad\u2019s language services<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/voice-over-services\/\">EuroTrad\u2019s voice-over service<\/a> is one of our most sought-after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurotrad.com\/en\/language-services\/\">language services<\/a>.
