THE PRODUCTION CALCULATOR
Same brief.
A different way to make it.
Compare estimated production effort and cost for traditional studio recording and AI-assisted audio. Adjust the content volume and rates to suit your project; both workflows include human review.

Rates & assumptions
Artist reference rates are supplied by Dubskool; production costs are illustrative. Adjust them for your project. Artist fees use finished output per language; additional retakes and usage rights are agreed separately. Setup and licence fees apply once per project.
Above 45 minutes, the hourly artist rate applies to the whole output, prorated. This replaces the per minute tier.
Work hours, not calendar turnaround.

Cost = artist fee + production hours × rate + review hours × rate + generation and licence fees where applicable. Taxes, translation, bespoke casting or voice creation, booking delays and approvals are not included.
AI cuts the wait. Not the craft.
A planning estimate, not a quote or a guaranteed saving. This compares suitable narration and repeat-content projects using an authorised voice. Human recordings for AI-training datasets still require artist-led sessions.
