OVERVIEW, VOICE TRACKS

There are of course many tracks in voice work. Documentary, Narration, Web-based Training, Telephone Answering Messages, Internet Applications, Character, Business, Science, Books, Radio and TV Promotion, Video Games... and the list goes on.

If a file here doesn't represent something close to what you are looking for send me an email- let's figure it out. After all, the fun of this kind of work is the excitement of challenge and exploration- the journey. Send me a bit of your script and a description of your voice requirements. I'll read some and send you back an audio file (usually and MP3, but it can be wav, or aiff, etc). Send it back and say, more like this.

We can go from there. You pay me me something when you get what you need. I'm not expensive. For example, I can get your phone answered for as little as $25. I will help your customer get to the right extension and offer updates and information while they wait.

I can turn it over in your time frame.
