    Going rate for a beginner voice actor?

    Is this a decent going rate? Absurd? When I have looked online it sounds a bit higher than this but I’m new… “as you are new to voice over field, we will be able to offer $15 to $30 per 10,000 words of raw audio”

    I was born in the states and my life is now in a non English speaking country. I don’t want to be an actress where I live because I don’t have control over my accent in that language. What do I do?
