The year was 2017. I had only recently gone full-time with my voice over business. I was auditioning on Voice123 and Voices.com, working from my home studio, and doing my best to make this dream career a reality. Back then, I didn’t know about the Global Voice Acting Academy (GVAA) or Gravy for the Brain. I had no real guidance on how to quote voice over jobs or what standard voice over rates even looked like.
