It would be devaluating the value and the work of voice over artists.
I'm not even a well known voice over artist and I get paid way more for words that fewer people will hear. And I'm not even in an union.
He got shafted.
More than 300€ per minute?
Much more depending on the usage. The length of the audio counts in the rate but less than its use, how long and where it would be used.
For instance, a perpetuity buyout (one of the thing he should have negotiated), are very expensive. Audiobooks for instance are longer but cheaper. My rate is 350/per finished hour for audiobooks, which is pretty average in the field. While a 30 seconds national radio commercial for my country, I would ask between 350 and 500, and that's with a limited time they would be allowed to use/broadcast it.
Here is a rate sheet for standard usage, if you are interested: https://globalvoiceacademy.com/gvaa-rate-guide-2/
I'm so excited, I don't get to talk about this aspect of my job often :)) Thank you for your interest so far!
