Written by Someone With 20+ Years
on Camera Who Casts Others
I'm in the top 1 percent in 8 video categories. I've been on camera for 20+ years, and I've watched the spokesperson market from both sides of the lens. This playbook reflects the rates, the audition reality, and the contract gaps as the market actually looks in 2026.
The 4 Tiers, What Each One Buys,
and Where to Find Them
Per finished 30 to 60 second B2B video, English-language, mid-market SaaS spec. Full version with sourcing notes inside the playbook.
| Tier | Rate per video | What you actually get |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 · Volume / UGC | $50 to $200 | A read. Often phone-shot. Usually no direction layer. OK for paid test creative if you already have a working hook. |
| Tier 2 · Mid-tier marketplace | $200 to $500 | Pro lav audio, decent home studio, takes direction. 1 to 2 revision rounds included. |
| Tier 3 · Top Rated / Specialist | $500 to $2,000 | B2B-specific track record. Spoken voice, not actor voice. 3-plus revision rounds. |
| Tier 4 · Premium / Done-for-you | Quoted per project | Talent plus direction plus editing plus strategic-layer support. You hand over a brief and get back a converting video. |
