I think someone ought to give him a semi-good job from a semi pro.

Kevin, are you up for the gig for FREE? I have never done any part of a trailer for FREE, nor do I intend to start now, but I will submit your name if you desire.

So, you are asserting you've never scratched for a trailer?

No, read carefully, I have never not been paid to do - even a scratch track.

I am a professional and I get paid when I do work - whatever it may be...

So does your post imply you are a "semi-pro" who gets "semi-paid"?

I have and have not been paid. If it comes through an agent I am working with, then I do it, EoS. Now, if in your book, that equates to semi-professional, then so be it.

As for the job, have it run through my agent or past my wife.

"Srcatch dialogue, if done for free, is proably handled by someone down the hall who works there."

I was once the guy down the hall, did one or two tag lines for the company I worked for. They one day, I was the voice of the major record labels music sampler that played in Loews Movie Theatres across the country.

I also did an acting gig for free. Got me some nice reviews and it led to a paid gig OFF BROADWAY.

not a bad thing to put on a postcard when sending it out to agents and casting directors

9 out 10 posts and discussions here always remind me of the Blind Men and the Elephant.

Share with me please.

What's different about it?

Since we're on the subject, is it typical to charge less to do a scratch track for a narration than you would for the finished product?

Thanks,

Craig

When I do a scratch track, it's considered part of the project.

The scratch track is made for the purpose of timing and isn't usually the knock-myself-out kind of read I do for a final read. Like, if my voice cracks a bit, I don't redo it. It's the quick-n-dirty version of what I intend to do.
The final track is the all-stops-out version.

This is my experience, and what keeps my clients happy.
Your milage may vary.
