| Quote: | Sneaky Giants Creative is producing a 30sec spot for an Austin-based rock band that will be used for both internet promotion and broadcast television. SGC is seeking an energetic, unique sounding male or female voice for about five lines of copy. We aren't looking for the staple baritone announcer performance here. We're looking for a pack-a-day smoker with character! It should be a fun little bit of work. Compensation is $30 for what should take no longer than an hour. We will pro-rate for any overages.
* Location: Downtown
* Compensation: $30/hr, Minimum of $30 |
Damn. Too bad I gave up the cancer sticks last year. I could've made thirty smackers!

There should be some hard-smoking college kid who could do this.

Later that same day:
| Quote: | Need Voice-Over - must speak English with a German Accent
Hi,
We have a 6 minute short film which needs voice over. The film is a spoof of art house-type films that take themselves way too seriously. Anyway, we need the main character to speak English with a German accent in his VO. A native german male would be great, but someone who can fake it would work too. It would take an hour to record.
Please send links to samples of VO if possible.
Location: Hollywood
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Compensation: $20 cash |
Twenty smackers. In Hollywood. |

"twenty dollars... same as downtown."

| Quote: | WANTED: Female Voice. English Accent. Professional.
This is not very serious.
I basically want an English woman to record a simple outgoing message for an answering machine.
I'm not sure what kind of compensation this sort of thing warrants, because it will literally take 5 minutes. Maybe its worth a coffee? Or some lunch?
So... if you can sound like Money Penny, or any other British Receptionist, for 5 minutes, I'd love to hear from you at any time.
Thanks! |
I sent them an fyi just for the hell of it, so they can learn how many coffees and lunches it might be worth. |

So... Now bartering will be the accepted norm for VO payments? How long do I have to talk... to get a tank of gas?
