Introduction
About 90 percent of my clients return to engage my services again, or refer me to other clients.
The reason is simple - in the Advertising and/or Corporate world, fast, courteous and professional service is paramount - you have a deadline and....you need it done right the first time.....
I also provide a lot of "free" services that many other voice talents charge for, like script consultations, FTP services and re-takes. Some voice talents will charge you a hefty fee because you had to change a single sentence or a couple of words in your script - I'm simply not that greedy....and furthermore, my clients deserve to be treated better than that.
Services I can offer your Corporation include:
Free Custom Voice Over Auditions
Send me a short portion of your script. I'll record it and send you the audio right away. Insert the audio into your presentation and you can hear for yourself whether my voice talent suits your project. And please, feel free to give me direction: my vocal range is 18-45 years of age. So, younger or older, laid-back or authoritative, fast or slow - the audition is yours to direct. Click here for more on auditioning voice talent.
Voiceover Project and Script Consultation
There's a lot more to adding voice talent to your project than you think. The script needs to be checked for "people speak" issues (in normal conversation we don't say "It is over there" we say "It's over there", etc. (See Script Services for more information).
If you're doing a Flash, Powerpoint project, or Website, there are file size issues vs. audio quality, script structure and file ID concerns along with basic audio editing do's and don't's that you should be aware of.
Basically, I look at your whole project and quickly point out the stuff you need to address before the recording process gets underway, to minimize mistakes and avoid cost over-runs....and, it's a free service.
Additional Voice Talent
Perhaps you require a female voice, or an alternate male voice to fill a role or two. I can help. I mainly work with voice talent whom I've worked with before, so there's no surprises. Please keep in mind that the more voice talent you hire for your voice over project, the higher your rate will climb - this goes for any voice talent service.
Voice Recording
I won't get too technical here, but you should know....that "Custom Audition" I mentioned earlier serves another, critical purpose: you get to hear what my studio sounds like. It's very good.....:-)! You can check out all my studio gear here.
I have a long background in recording engineering and I've spent the money on the right audio equipment to properly record the human voice. There's no noise, just clean, clear audio, fully mastered, edited and ready to be inserted into your project as soon as you pick it up.....
Secure FTP Audio Pick-up
Nothing like a nice, high-speed connection to pick up your audio - especially useful if your project is of the "larger" variety. When your audio is ready for pick-up, I send you an e-mail with my FTP address, username and password. You can get your audio, place it where you like, all at your convenience. This FTP account is there 24/7 and never expires - it's also a free service. If you are unfamiliar with FTP, I'll help you out, or we'll find an alternate way to deliver your product....no worries. (Click here for more on FTP file transfer).
Guarantee
Gotta have it. Don't hire voice talent without it. I guarantee my work, plain and simple. Re-takes for pronunciation, style, pacing or any other errors due to my vocal performance and/or technical issues are completed free of charge. If you don't like it - I don't like it.....and I'll do everything in my power to make it right.
There's something I should mention at this point. Script changes on behalf of the client. All the script approving and reviewing in the world cannot negate the fact that something at some point has to be changed - it happens all the time. I won't bust your chops over a little change here and there, but if your script changes are extensive (usually over one minute of audio to be re-recorded) there can be additional fees involved, based on your negotiated per-minute rate. Just a courtesy "FYI."
