LOCAL MEDIA and ADVERTISING AGENCY ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES...look
below for a special FREE offer!
BROADCAST
VOICEOVERS
INCLUDING PRODUCTION
("V.I.P." RATE):
$150
per hour, billed in 20-minute increments
($50 minimum, local airing)
This
hourly rate applies to ANY number of radio/TV spots or station "imaging"
elements of ANY length, to be used locally, regionally, or nationally
(only the minimum fees differ). This
is Chuck McKibben's "buy-out" talent fee combined with
FREE studio service, including royalty-free music and effects
plus full editing and mixing, if desired (or, take
the tracks unedited for your team to finish).
A
one-hour minimum ($150) applies to REGIONAL airing (3 or more major
markets) or for use in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles; there's
a two-hour minimum ($300) for NATIONAL broadcast.
All additional billing beyond those minimums, whether local, regional
or national, is in 20-minute increments at $150 per hour.
(If Chuck McKibben is NOT included as talent on the session, the
"straight studio fee" alone is $100 per hour, regardless
of market usage.)
There
is NO LIMIT on the number of pages or scripts that can be recorded
within the time frame. Hourly
"V.I.P." billing offers tremendous savings for
efficient producers who send over carefully timed, accurately
typed, thoroughly proofed copy! Example 1: Chuck
voices 2 LOCAL :60 radio spots and creates both edited "dry"
voice tracks within 20 minutes. Your cost per spot: $25.
Example 2: Chuck voices 3 REGIONAL :30 TV tracks to
air in New York, Boston and Philadelphia (with customized tags for
each market), adds royalty-free music and creates all 3 final mixes
within one hour. Your cost per spot: $50.
Example 3: Chuck voices 4 NATIONAL :60 radio spots, adds
royalty-free music and effects, and creates all 4 final mixes within
two hours. Your cost per spot: just $75!
This
is the very best way for even very small radio
stations to add an exclusive "imaging" voice...for TV
stations or cable systems to add a network-calibre "booth"
announcer...for any station to attract "prestige" advertisers,
such as financial institutions and luxury car dealerships, with
their own dedicated national-quality commercial spokesman!
(A blanket guarantee of local, regional or national exclusivity
for any advertiser within a particular category is available for
a reasonable yearly fee. Please inquire.)
Short
audio productions are sent via the Web at no extra charge. Of
course, we also have in-house ISDN for "live" sessions
of any length; you are responsible for line charges. CDs and tapes,
in small quantities, are included at no charge for materials; you
pay only for the time needed to make "hard copies" and
for shipping fees. We provide a service, not a product, and prefer
to avoid billings for materials.
Chuck
McKibben is also available in-person at your location in the greater
New York area.
A firm one-hour minumun applies, or two hours for national broadcast
work. He'll also entertain serious national offers that involve
union membership. (Chuck joined AFTRA in 1968, but let his membership
lapse as so many clients, incuding national companies, offered him
work on a non-union basis.)
NON-BROADCAST
"V.I.P." RATE:
$150
per hour, billed in 20-minute increments
($50 minimum)
For
all corporate, industrial, sales, promotion, training and educational
videos, on-hold messages, CD-ROMs, etc., including website audio.
There are no other minimums, so long as the material is not for
broadcast. Includes Chuck McKibben's "buy-out" talent
fee and studio, plus royalty-free music and effects, editing, mixing,
etc. at your option. (Our straight "studio facility" rate
is $100 per hour when Chuck McKibben is NOT at least one of the
voices on your session.) Billing
is determined by actual time spent recording copy to your satisfaction,
not by final running time or by lines or pages of copy.
COPYWRITING
(ALL MEDIA):
$100
per hour, billed in half-hour increments
($50 minimum)
In addition
to his skills in the studio, Chuck McKibben's mastery of language
and in-depth understanding of marketing have also made him an award-winning
broadcast (and print) advertising copywriter. For example, American
Express travel has used Chuck extensively over the past several
years to write radio scripts plus national mailings and catalogs.
(The company distributed 400,000 copies of the 2001 European Travel
catalog, for which he supplied virtually all of the descriptive
text.) Of course, as part of a "V.I.P." recording session,
Chuck will help you "fine-tune" your copy, if you wish,
at no additional charge.
