The frog, maybe?

I did not. I’m only bad at math.

I’m ashamed to say I paid 100 bucks a gram for a 300 grams scrappy tiny thingy. Ashamed but unapologetic

The 360 degrees and walking away says a bit about the pos(t)er too, walking straight into what they graciously censured a “B”.

Brilliant! Thanks for the explanation.

I want to giggle too, can you explain?

Yeah, Bruce, what the hell?!

I switched to snus. I’m also so happy about the smell. Congrats us for quitting cigarettes

Thank you thank you!!!

Does anybody remember the title of that book? I’m feeling like a trip down memory lane.

Much more depending on the usage. The length of the audio counts in the rate but less than its use, how long and where it would be used.

For instance, a perpetuity buyout (one of the thing he should have negotiated), are very expensive. Audiobooks for instance are longer but cheaper. My rate is 350/per finished hour for audiobooks, which is pretty average in the field. While a 30 seconds national radio commercial for my country, I would ask between 350 and 500, and that’s with a limited time they would be allowed to use/broadcast it.

Here is a rate sheet for standard usage, if you are interested: https://globalvoiceacademy.com/gvaa-rate-guide-2/

I’m so excited, I don’t get to talk about this aspect of my job often :)) Thank you for your interest so far!

It would be devaluating the value and the work of voice over artists.

I’m not even a well known voice over artist and I get paid way more for words that fewer people will hear. And I’m not even in an union.

He got shafted.

Definitely not ridiculous to think so, considering how many people recognize his voice. Just like one great book will be bought by many people and make its author rich, a great line recognized by many people should be remunated as such.

The rights for usage should be much much higher. Just like recording Siri’s voice and an e-learning project might have taken the same time but the usage and how many people are going to hear the voice is widely different.

Furthermore, “it only took him a minute” is akin to say to a graphic designer why pay him so much for a website that took him less than a day to do: it takes years, practice, and skill to be able to do in only a minute.

If anything, considering that a lot of people seems to recognize his voice, he should have been able to retire on this simple few words.

Just like one good jingle or one hit wonder can make their author very rich.

Dude, just admit you’re boring

Before I knew anything about Palestine and Israel, aside from the fact that they’ve been fighting for ages, I saw a short interview of a 10 years old girl in Gaza. She was incredibly well spoken and her eyes were showing a much older age that she actually was, as she explained how hopeless it was too grow up there, that she and her friends did not have any future nor hope, that everything was futile in their lives, and even surviving didn’t make much sense. 10 years old. It was before the carnage going on now, maybe in 2018. I often think about this girl and wonder if she’s even alive today.

I don’t know why I’m sharing this. She just made a big impact on me.

Get some dispensaries for weed while you’re at it pretty please

But if it is not extracted from them and they are not milked, how do the liquid thingy comes to be?
