I know this has been talked about before, but I can't find anything in searches for voiceover rates.

I know everybody has their own rates that they charge for :30 and :60 second spots, narration, retainer pkgs.... and I know it can differ for market sizes, but what would be a going rate for top 30 market for the above mentioned formats...

I've just been asked to submit a proposal to several stations, and I don't want to over or under price my work

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm not the best person to ask, but you could check the union rates at AFTRA http://www.aftra.com/contract/crates2.htm and scale down from there (my reasoning for that-- you are presumably non-union, haven't paid AFTRA dues, and therefore are not paying for all the work the union has done to negotiate those rates; also, if you're fairly new to the business, you might not want to ask top rates). So, that could be a jumping-off place for you.
