The 5 Hidden Costs of Low Rates Worksheet™
You think you’re saving opportunities by saying yes to low-paying gigs, but you’re actually paying for them. This free worksheet exposes what those shitty jobs are really costing you in time, energy, and growth.
Every voice actor’s been there: the client says, “We only have $75 in the budget.” You hesitate, rationalize, and convince yourself it’s worth it for the experience.
But here’s the truth: that stalls your entire career.
This worksheet helps you see the five real-world costs of staying cheap and gives you the clarity and confidence to quote like a pro.
“Voice actors don’t go broke because they’re untalented. They go broke because they don’t know what saying yes to cheap work is really costing them. This worksheet shines a light on the hidden price of low rates, so you can stop undervaluing your voice and start running a real business.”
WHAT'S INSIDE:
✅ The Time Cost: How much money you lose every time you underquote compared to GVAA standards.
✅ The Energy Cost: Why cheap jobs drain your creativity and how to protect it.
✅ The Opportunity Cost: How low-paying work keeps you from finding high-paying clients.
✅ The Confidence Cost: How discounting your rates quietly sabotages your self-worth.
✅ The Reputation Cost: Why your pricing trains the market to see you as budget talent instead of booked talent.
Who's this for?
- Voice actors stuck taking low-paying gigs “for the experience”
- Talent unsure what to charge or afraid to quote GVAA-level rates
- Anyone ready to stop being the cheapest option and start being the professional option
WHY THIS MATTERS:
If you’ve completed real coaching, deliver solid audio, and treat clients professionally, you are a pro.
This worksheet helps you see yourself that way and start running your business accordingly.
Because the only thing standing between you and higher-paying work is clarity and confidence and this gives you both.
