Verbatim from a voice seeker this morning:
"I need voice talent for an e-learning course.
I am currently using text to speech, which is not bad, but voice talent can really make it better."

Nah, tell him to save his money.
His customers will never be able to tell the difference.

The part about thinking a human voice would be an improvement over text-to-speech was the most realistic part of that job posting.
It was around four hours of narration with a budget in the $750-1000 range.
Oh, and the script will be ready some time in March or April.

And they keep getting better. One posted today was for a 271 page audiobook in the $250-500 range. Oh, and they need it by tomorrow.
