Hello,

first time on this site, and it's great by the way. I'm looking for a Brithish, English speaking female to record the voice mails and greeting messages of my small photography studio. I have a small studio but with a very nice image behind it, so I want our voice mail to sound the same way. What would be the best approach to pay for this? by the job, by the minute, by hour?

Then I need a Brithish, English speaking male with a semi-deep voice to talk over a multimedia presentation of my pictures. How about this one? Same question.

Thank you very much for your help.

i'm by no means the authoritative answer on this, but i would suggest by the job; the other options can become complicated and leaves room for contention.

concerning your male voice need, please feel free to listen to my short demo and see if my voice may have what you need. there are many nuances of british/english accentuations, so a brief description of exactly what you're seeking in that voice would help.

i will be posting other, more narrative-based, demos over the next 2-3 days.

hope this helps in some way.
thank you very much for any reply/consideration you may give!

Hi Alain,

And welcome to v123.
I think the best way is by the job, according to the word count (or number of messages for the voice mail).
Most voices will have a minimum fee, so you may find it expensive if you only want one voice mail message.
If it is the case, it could be a good idea to use the same voice for both the voice mail and the multimedia presentation.
You may also find that it is a good branding idea to have someone who is "the voice" of your business.

Good luck finding the right voice(s)!
