Set a minimum price for the audio, state the turnaround together with the price, and charge above the minimum for what the fan asks. Someone ordering a custom audio is not buying a file: he is buying your voice talking to him. It is the fastest custom order to record and the most intimate one, so the price depends less on the size of the file and more on how much of it is only his.
What the fan expects to get
He expects a message made for him: his name in your voice, an agreed line, a tone he picked. The more the audio sounds written for that one fan, the more it is worth — and that is what supports charging above the minimum. He also expects to know when he gets it, which is why the turnaround goes together with the price, in the same sentence of the conversation.
What goes into the price
- What he asks for. A short note and a long spoken piece do not cost the same. His script, his name spoken and a specific tone all count.
- Your recording time. Recording, listening back and redoing takes your time, even in a quick format. The minimum is there so that time is never unpaid.
- The turnaround. You set, in hours, how long it takes you to deliver the audio. A short turnaround supports a higher price; a long one calls for a lower minimum so the fan is willing to wait.
- Its place in your store. Audio is usually the bottom rung of custom orders, below the photo and the video. Its price talks to the one for a custom video and for a nude rating, which also opens a conversation.
How it works in practice
- You turn audio on in the dashboard, under Custom orders → Settings, with a minimum price and a turnaround in hours. Photo and video have their own cards, each with its own.
- The fan asks, the conversation finds out what he wants — the message, the length, the tone — and presents the price with the turnaround, always above the minimum. It never promises delivery on the spot.
- He pays by Pix or card. The agreed amount above the minimum is the amount charged.
- The order opens on its own and you get the alert, with what the fan asked for written out. After payment, the conversation asks at most one follow-up question and closes with confidence.
- You record and upload the file in the dashboard, with a message from you. The fan gets a protected link, only his, and listens there. If the link expires, he asks for another.
Where it pays off most: the audio opens the next order
A fan who hears your voice saying his name usually wants more. In the same conversation, the audio can become the first item of a bigger order: an audio with a photo, or with a video. An order with several pieces adds up the minimum price of each and the turnaround is the one of the piece that takes longest. For another format, see how much to charge for a photo and video pack, which is ready-made content and arrives right away.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I charge for a custom audio or voice message?
You set a minimum price for the audio, and the conversation works from there: the first offer goes out above the minimum and negotiation never drops below it. The price goes up with what the fan asks for — how long the audio is, the script, hearing his name — and with the recording time it takes from you.
Does a custom audio cost the same as a custom photo or video?
No. Custom photo, video and audio are three separate offers, each with its own minimum price and its own turnaround. The fan always hears the number for the type he is asking for, never another one.
What do fans usually ask for in a custom audio?
A message that is only his: his name in your voice, a good morning or a good night, an agreed line, a whisper, a reading. Audio is the most intimate format and the fastest to record — which is why it is often the way in for a fan who has not ordered anything custom yet.
How long do I have to deliver?
The turnaround you set yourself, in hours, for audio. The conversation tells the fan that turnaround together with the price, before closing, and never promises delivery on the spot. After payment, the confirmation repeats the real turnaround you configured.
How does the fan receive the audio?
You upload the file in the dashboard, on his order, with a message from you. The fan gets a protected link that only the buyer can open, together with your message. If the link expires, he asks and gets another.
Can I sell a custom audio and a custom photo in the same order?
Yes. An order with several pieces adds up the minimum price of each one, and the turnaround is the one of the piece that takes longest. A bundle discount only exists if you set one up yourself.
Can I resell an audio made for one fan?
Only if you allow it, piece by piece. Since a lot of custom audio has the fan’s name in it, the usual choice is to keep resale off.
