Jay Preston's Voice Over Rate Guide

Choosing to hire me as a Union talent is easier than you think and allows me to keep my healthcare & benefits as well as allowing you to build an extremely wonderful relationship working with one of my agents. Using me again in the future is extremely easy, paperwork is complete and if you need a different sounding voice, my agents have the top talent in the industry! If the word Union still frightens you and makes you uneasy, the non union rates are included here as well. All of my rates include;

  • script preparation (pronunciation, annotation etc.)

  • studio fee

  • professional, noise-free recording

  • editing

  • quality control (prooflistening)

  • free retakes, as long as they are not necessitated by changes in the script after the initial audio was recorded. The recording of a script that was revised after the first text was officially approved and recorded, is regarded and billed as a new project

  • uploading of audio in any formate you need

  • And of course: My added value as a proffesional voice talent with years of experience is always higher than my rate!

About Jay Preston Actor Headshot

 About Jay Preston

Jay Preston is a Los Angeles–based SAG-AFTRA voice actor working across union animation, video games, performance capture, and national commercial campaigns. Represented by Gersh for animation and interactive media and by DPN for commercial work, Jay delivers grounded, story-driven performances from his professional broadcast-ready studio or or on-site for studio sessions and performance capture.

Originally from just south of Boston, Jay studied theater at Dean College and Bridgewater State before touring New England with the improv troupe Speed of Thought Players. After years of live performance — including children’s theater and immersive stage work — he moved to Los Angeles in 2006 and discovered a deep love for voice acting in 2010. A true actor through and through, Jay thrives in collaboration and continues to build meaningful creative resources for the voiceover community.

Jay also collaborates with his wife, SAG-AFTRA actress Megan Hensley, through their joint venture, The Booth Of Us. Built on a shared love of performance and storytelling, their partnership offers clients both male and female voice talent, seasoned performance instincts, and seamless broadcast-quality production. Together, they bring a unified, actor-driven approach to projects that call for depth, chemistry, and collaboration.
