Interpretation needed.

I am a little confused as to the ca: 1,5min

The text is a subtitle of one of eleven films. These films are presented on a website.
The talent, which get the job for the first film, will get the job for the other ten films too.

Length of the recording: ca: 1,5min Bdgt $ 85 - 212

would I assume this as meaning 1 hour and 5 mins or
1 film at 5mins?

Never seen anything written this way

Thanks, Lynne

The copy talks about a Villa, probably a timeshare, or remodel although they could be selling windows? I know that the script I have in front of me is no more than a minute, however spread over a 5 minute film, could work.

You are right in the communication thing, but being new, I thought maybe it's something I just never came across. Anyway, I'll add the script

Langenberg:

Just like before, only better.
The villa in Langenberg

This villa is one with character. Historical facades, a plethora of tiny windows and trees in front of the house.

The character itself is to remain intact. But the villa should become lighter, cosier. At the same time, everything is to look like “before“.

We integrate the balcony in the living area, which only make the room dark. The additional windows added let more light in. And: the narrow profile of the windows accents the historical character of the facade itself.

A highlight can be found in the interior design: We consciously draw on the muntin appearance of the windows for the doors. A light appearance and historical ambience also take centre stage here.

The villa in Langenberg.
Historical flair and lot’s of light.

Just like before, only better.

Just delete it.

#1 Bad English = Bad sign
#2 Over- promising multiple exciting projects to winner = Bad sign
#3 No money = Bad sign
#4 Not using commonly accepted script notation = Bad sign

Delete. Delete. Delete.

I got your back, my sister! Delete that tourism jingle lead, too! Two pages of VO for $100? And wait 'til you see the script! Oy!

Hi Lynne!

In my opinion what the client meant by 1,5 min is that the voice over part will last one and a half minutes, probably it is better to confirm with the client directly, our Customer Service Department http://voice123.com/doc/support.html , may assist you with this if you prefer Lynne, so you can be sure and clear about the client needs and the project itself.

Regards,

Amy,
most appreciated, I only receive the British leads, which are so few. This lead, whilst I knew was badly written, confused me with the time/pay, so I wasn't even sure that it was worthy of a practice run!

Carmen,
The help at 123 is somewhat slow in coming, I have found that posting in a forum the response is much quicker, When I do see a lead I dont want to sit on it a day waiting for a response, no offensive meant to you, just when I have a question I'm anal about getting a quick response, mainly because you can guarantee I'll have another question within the next hour and I dont want to tie the team.

Lynne

We appreciate your comments Lynne, I certainly understand your point and we know that when it comes to answering leads you would like to receive immediate assistance. An alternate option instead of contacting us via e-mail which may take up to 24 hours for you to receive our answer, is to use our chat service which is always available Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm, and is a very useful tool to get immediate anwers to your questions. Hope this helps Lynne! Wink

Kindly,

Carmen's right-- that feature ROCKS!

Where have I been, didn't even see that feature, will definitely keep that in mind when I have a question about leads. I am on the west coast, are V123 same time zone?
