For some reason they send me these postings. I believe it all started when I tried to hire someone off Guru for some other projects.

Frank, I'm also sent "leads" from Guru, too. Thankfully, the description of the project is right there in the email, so I can delete readily. Most of the stuff I see there is comparable to what I hear what comes out of Craigslist. All that being said, I see there are some people who are up there on the money list. I have found Guru's interface to be UBER cumbersome, and too time consuming to deal with for such small pickens.

So true, so true.
I just had to write to a guy in Boston who is a TV weatherman and doing VO on the side about his Craigslist post... here is a guy who is supposed to be a professional and among the many faults with his website was his description of his microphone.
He wrote he had a Sure Cardiod Condenser microphone.
Among the many problems with his website was his grammar... atrocious to say the least.
Sure, I have one of those Sures. Does you?

Is 25 Bucks good money... yes
Is a 2 minute VO good... yes
I think the misomer here is ratio of the two
