From an ad on Craig's List:
| Quote: | | Small but growing company looking for a voice over actor OR voice actress to record (3) thirty second spots for advertisements that we will be using mostly online. We’ll e-mail you the script and all you have do is e-mail us a clear, good/high quality .mp3... ...Can pay about $5-10 PER spot this time (double for each additional spot if we do more spots) and glowing recommendations, good karma wishes and exposure. |
aside from freebies, this is the lowest i think i've ever seen quoted. me thinks they be lookin' ta shanghai ya!

Amazing.
Gee, I wonder if you would get the $5.00 per spot or the $10.00 per spot initially?
I guess there is no putting a price tag on good karma.

(looks at watch)
My guess is they've already selected their talent by now, too.

You see, by posting $5 to $10, they can take advantage of the bidding process.
VO #1: "I'll do it for 9.50!"
VO #2: "I'll do it for $7.25!"
VO # 1: "I'll do it for 6.00!"
VO #2: "I'll do it for 4.75!"
VO #3: "I'll pay you $5.00 to let me do it!"
"Sold!" |

| Small but growing...as in they used to pay $2 per spot? Oh boy I can't wait to earn the glowing recommendation of a small but growing record company. The promise of Karma is the last refuge of a scoundrel, me hearties. The seas know not of Karma, only of chaos and cruelty...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. |

Can pay $5 - $10 = will pay no more than $5 regardless.
As for the rest, how can you offer me exposure if you're so small that you can't afford a proper VO? The only exposure I'd get is that I'm a good VO who's willing to work for pocket change.
I can do quite nicely without that kind of exposure.

That will certainly make me feel good even though I can't pay my bills?
