How fast is your turnaround time on a Project?

Depending on the length of your script, I can usually record and deliver your audio recording within a matter of hours. 24 hours maximum. Of course recording Audiobooks and audioguides take longer.

You can check out the samples here on this site and feel free to send me part of your own script and I’ll record a made-to-measure audition with no charge.

How much is it going to cost me?

You will not be invoiced until you are 100% happy with the recording. I charge fees based on the length of your script and how the audio will be used. If it is a long elearning or audiobook project, a fee per-word or per-finished audio-hour can discussed. You can either let me know your budget for your recording (don’t be shy, I can take it!) or ask me for an immediate quote.
