Our standard price for a two-hour session is £425 and any further recording time is charged at the half hourly rate of £50.

Booking Payments
Please note that bookings are only confirmed upon receipt of deposit payment which must be paid within three days from the receipt of booking email from the Company. By making your deposit payment, you expressly agree to be bound by all the Demo Production Service Terms outlined in this Agreement.
Deposit Refunds
Excluding Gaming or Animation Voiceover demo bookings, a client may cancel a recording session booking and request a full refund of deposit at any time within 14 days from the date of deposit payment. After this time or if we have completed our scheduled consultation call, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
Session Postponement by Client
■ Please contact guy@voice-reel.com to request postponement of your recording session;
■ There is no additional postponement fee where a Client requests postponement of a recording session at least 72 hours prior to the booked session date. The client will be required to agree upon a new recording session date within seven days from the date of initial postponement request. This new recording session date must be within three calendar months of the original session date and the client will be required to pay the full outstanding balance of the recording session fees either on or before the original recording date. To avoid any late charges please ensure that funds clear by 18:00 GMT on the original booking date. The late charge is £75.
■ Any postponement requests (for any reason) made within 72 hours of the scheduled booking session will incur a postponement fee calculated as 50% of the full booking fee less any deposit already paid. In other words, if your full session fee is £400 and you paid a £150 deposit at the time you made the booking, you will be required to pay an additional £50 which must be paid on or before the original recording session date and the payment must be cleared by 18:00 GMT on the original session recording date. Please note that the new session date must be agreed upon within 7 days from the date of initial postponement request and the original balance of the recording session fee will become due and payable on such new agreed recording session date. This new recording session date must be within three calendar months of the original session date.
■ Please note that the 72 hour postponement period mentioned in this provision only includes the normal working hours of the Company which are from Monday to Friday between 10:00 - 18:00 excluding any bank holidays.
(Real-life example: if a postponement is requested by email to guy@voice-reel.com on a Friday afternoon at 16:00 for a recording session taking place on the following Wednesday at 10:00, this request for postponement would fall within the 72 hour period.)
■ We do not allow more than two postponements and a booking will be deemed to be cancelled after two postponements. If you wish to book another recording session after having postponed a recording session twice, you will be required to make a new booking and pay a deposit.
Cancellations by Client
If you wish to cancel your booked recording session, please send us an email at guy@voice-reel.com.
Please note that we resist charging the full fee like companies offering similar services.
If you cancel your scheduled session more than at least 72 hours before the booked recording session (see above on normal working hours of the company) you will forfeit your deposit payment and a standard cancellation fee of £75 will be payable before 18:00 GMT on the date of original booking.
If you cancel your booking within 72 hours of the booked recording session date, you will forfeit your full deposit as well as become liable for a cancellation fee calculated at 50% of the full booking fee less the deposit already paid. This cancellation fee will be payable before 18:00 GMT on the date of original booking. Failure to complete payment by this time means that you will be charged the full demo session fee balance.
Cancellations and Session Postponement by Company
The Company reserves the right to cancel a booked recording session at any time by issuing a full refund and without incurring any additional liability.
We will give you at least 24 hours notice in the event we need to postpone and reschedule a session.
Scheduled Session Time
