Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can give me a bit of assistance. I've been offered a job to record a 350 page novel 'in verse' which would be published over the internet on ITUNES. Any ideas of rates on this one would be gratefully received. Just to let you know that I've been working in the UK in voiceovers for quite a number of years.

Thanks for your time,

Nick

Might be a fun one, Nick.
I only hope the verse is of at least moderate talent; since reading six hours of bad rhyme may lead to years of expensive therapy.

The site world's own discount rate suggestions puts your project in the bargain-basemant $1,5000 range. Union rates would be about $3,000, including the buyout.
Why not split the difference?

Voice On!
