Frequently Asked Questions About Documentary Narrators
How much does it cost to hire a documentary narrator?
Documentary narrator rates typically range from $650 - $2500 per episode depending on the length and usage for the project. We can provide customised quotes based on word count, technical requirements and usage rights.
What qualities should I look for in a documentary narrator?
When selecting a documentary narrator, look for clear diction, appropriate pacing, emotional range, and the ability to maintain viewer engagement. The narrator's tone should match your content - whether authoritative for scientific documentaries, warm for nature documentaries, or conversational for social topics. Our platform allows you to filter narrators by these qualities to find the perfect match for your project.
How long does it take to record narration for a documentary?
The time required to record documentary narration depends on its length and complexity. Professional documentary narrators typically produce 1-2 finished hours of audio per day in the studio. A standard 60-minute documentary would typically take 2-3 hours of recording time, plus additional time for editing and quality control. We can provide a specific timeline based on your project's requirements.
Do documentary narrators also edit the audio recordings?
While some documentary narrators provide editing services, at BigMouth Voices, we typically separate narration and post-production for optimal quality. Our narrators focus on delivering exceptional performances, while professional audio engineers handle editing, mastering, and quality control. This specialisation ensures your documentary meets broadcast standards for television, streaming platforms and film festivals.
Can I direct the documentary narrator during the recording process?
Yes, direction during recording sessions is available and encouraged for documentary projects. You can provide direction via phone, video call, or in person at a studio session. Many clients find it valuable to discuss pronunciation guides, tone, and pacing before recording begins. Our platform facilitates clear communication between clients and narrators to ensure your vision is realised in the final product.
