FAQs

Question: What is included with revisions?

Answer: A revision is a change to the recording for a mistake I've made or a spot-change in style. Revisions DO NOT include script changes. If a script change is requested after recording, you will need to purchase an additional recording. Revisions do not include complete redos for tone or pacing.

Question: Do I get just one read of my script?

Answer: In order that you get the best take to meet your requirements, I typically give 2-3 reads so you can choose which is optimal and in line with your original vision.

Question: Can you do character voices or dialects?

Answer: I can consistently deliver the following accents/dialects for your recording:

  • Bostonian

  • Down Mainer

  • British Squire

  • Irish Barkeep

  • Great grandfather

  • Smooth Talkin' Texan

  • Whiskey-voiced Rough Rider

  • African American Gentleman

  • New York Italian

  • Russian Diplomat

Question: Can you match your VO to my video?

Answer: If it's delivering your script to match what is seen on the screen, it's possible to do so if the number of words in the script can fit. We should talk about this before you make a decision to go with me. Happy to have that conversation.

Question: Can you provide background music or sound effects to the file?

Answer: Yes, I can provide royalty-free music for an additional fee per track (music and sound effects). We can discuss your specific requirements.

Question: Who owns the rights to the work you produce?

Answer: Commercial Rights are INCLUDED in all orders. This provides you as the buyer a buy-out for promoting my work for your product or service in non-paid marketing channels. Full Broadcast Rights, which provide you a buy-out for advertising your product or service in paid broadcasting channels, like Radio, TV and Internet is available at an additional fee.

Question: What format will the voice over file be delivered in?

Answer: We can discuss your particular needs, but most often I deliver a single MP3 file recorded at 44,100Hz sample rate and 16-bit dynamic range. I can also export to an HQ WAV file if that better meets your needs, at no additional cost.

Question: How will I receive the file(s) from you?

Answer: We can discuss whichever tools you would prefer to use for file transfer, but most commonly I use WeTransfer, which allows transfers up to 2GB. It also provides receipt confirmation so I know you successfully received your file.

Answer: I'm in the Eastern Time Zone of the United States. I'm in the Boston, Massachusetts area.
