Hello! A pleasure to bid on your project! The overage of my bid is to cover this website's commission. If the extra 333 is too much for you in the bid total, please tell me an amount that suitable- and providing it is not exceedingly below the professional voice industry standard, I will do my best to accommodate you. So, your script is 120,000 words. I estimate a recording of it would be approximately 11 hours if I average about 3 words per second. That brings my bid to 303 USD per finished and complete hour of audio. About me: Find my voice for various authors on iTunes and Amazon at: Monty Lewis Sauerwein. Even though I now reside in Europe, I am a North American English native speaker/educator- with 3 decades experience in professional, award winning voice-overs and multimedia production services. I also specialize in Mid-Atlantic English (Sounds like British) should you ever require it. To hear VO demos, click on my "Portfolio" link, scroll down to the audio demos and hover over the sound files until you see the ones titled: Demo B "Audiobook and Documentary". I sincerely hope to be working with you! Professionally yours, M Lewis Sauerwein

Hello, I have been a full time voice talent for three years. My voice is smooth, friendly, and articulate and my accent is general American. I use professional equipment in a studio and produce very high quality audio. My main experience with voiceover is narrating and producing audiobooks of various genres. Since I do this full time, I respond quickly to clients and my turnaround time is fast. I would like to know more about your project so that I can give an accurate quote. What are your deadlines? Do you have your own editors or do the narrators deliver finished audio? etc. You can listen to my demo on my profile page. Please let me know if you have any questions or require a custom audition. Best regards, Melissa

I'll be glad to record your historical books from the 19th century. I charge $250 PFH (per finished hour). If the recording lasts 2 hours, for example, the cost would be $500. As an American raised in England, I do both US and UK accents that are authentic and natural. I record, proof, edit, and master my audio to industry (or your) standards.

My bid works out to be about $180.00 per finished hour (PFH) of audio, which is 10% below the standard rate of $200 PFH for audiobook production (don't forget Freelancer charges me a fee). I have several audiobooks available in Audible, so I will produce to ACX/Audible standards Please note: It takes about 6 hours of recording & editing to produce 1 finished hour of audio. 120,000 words, read at a rate of 3 words per second = a little over 11 finished hours of recorded audio, or 66 hours of work to produce. With my current workload, I can finish your books in about 21 days. You can hear my demos in my Freelancer Portfolio on my Profile page, and on my website: Joes-SpeakEasy dot com. Plead let me know if you have any questions.
