Do you have a specific project in mind today, or are you reaching out because you regularly need voiceover and want to discuss joining your voice talent roster? *

I have a specific project in mind.
I don't have a specific project right now but am looking for voice talent for our roster.
I'm contacting for some other reason.

What type of voiceover are you looking for? *

Is the video script heavy on technical terms or intended for specialist audiences?

No - it's intended for a general audience.
Yes - Medical or Pharmaceutical
Yes - Scientific/Biological/Molecular Biology
Yes - Engineering
Yes - Blockchain/Cryptocurrency

How would you describe the intended usage of the video?

Web - it will be available on YouTube & other platforms, and public facing websites. Intended for anyone to be able to watch it, and usually to sell a product or service to consumers. For example, a 2-minute product explainer video that will be shared on YouTube and on the company's website.
Internal/Corporate - the video will only be shared within a company. Usually with employees or a limited number of stakeholders. For example, an explanation of employee health insurance benefits, or a pitch to investors.
Business to Business (B2B) - the video is about a product or service that is being sold to other businesses, as opposed to individual customers. For example, a video about a secure cloud based data storage solution for businesses.
Educational/PSA - a video that is intended for students, or to educate, without selling a product. For example, a video that gives a 2-minute overview of how DNA replication works, or a video about the harms of texting while driving.
Event - the video will be shown only once at a conference or event. For example, a video shown at an annual conference to recognize outstanding researchers in the field.
Something else.

The book is...

Already published.
Scheduled to be released at an upcoming date.
Not yet published and there is no scheduled release date yet.

How long (word count) is your book?

*A handy rule of thumb: 9000 words of text = 1 hour of audiobook runtime.

Title of your book

Link me to your book, please?

e.g., Amazon page

Let's talk sales! Approximately how many copies has your book sold so far, if you have that information?

e.g. 1000

When is the book release?

How would you like to finance your audiobook production?

Pay for production: Pay the narrator for the audiobook production up front. Keep all of the royalties from the audiobook sales.
Royalty sharing: Pay nothing up front for the audiobook production. The narrator gets compensated out of the sales. *Must have enough sales to make this work!*
Hybrid: Pay a small fee for production and also share royalties with the narrator. Works if you would like to get an audiobook produced for low cost, but don't have a huge amount or track record of sales.
Royalty deferred: Pay nothing up front for the audiobook production. Narrator takes all royalties up to a certain amount, then all audiobook royalties after that amount go to the author/rights holder.

Check all options that you are open to and would like more information about.

Tell me about your book!

e.g. Paste your blurb, a brief description, or even just a genre or sub-genre.

Briefly, how do you imagine the audiobook sounding?

Any favorite audiobook narrators? Or audiobook pet peeves?

How long is your script? Word count, or runtime.

*A handy rule of thumb: ~150 words of text = 1 minute of voiceover runtime.

No, just gathering quotes at this time.
Yes - but my script isn't ready yet. Please send me related samples.
Yes! (You will be asked to provide a sample of your script.)

Do you have a deadline for when you need the final voiceover?

Rush delivery fees may be added to your quote for urgent (usually same-day) voiceover requests.

Would you like to book a live directed recording session?

No - please record on your own. (*this usually allows for faster turnaround)
Not sure. Please send quotes with and without a live recording session.
Yes - let's schedule a directed session.

*The option to record in a live directed session is offered at no extra cost for certain projects. To qualify, the project must be over a minimum budget of $400 and under a maximum finished length of 30 minutes.

How would you like to connect for the recording session?

e.g., Source Connect, Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Phone patch - all are available.

Preferred dates and times for the recording session?

Please add your suggested dates and times, or I will suggest times based on my availability if you leave this blank.

(Optional) Do you have a budget or budget range you need to stay within?

I will do my best to stay within your stated budget range, or just quote you what I normally charge if you leave this blank.

(Optional) Direction: Do you have a reference video or audio clip that you want your voiceover to sound like? If so, please link to it here. If not, no worries - just skip this.
