RETAKES, REVISIONS AND AI POLICIES
RETAKES AND REVISIONS
Retakes (my mistakes) are included at no cost.
Revisions for changes made to the script after recording:
Minor Revisions (1 or 2 words) - $50.00
Major Revisions (more than 2 words) - $100 minimum
Re-reads (more than 30% of the original script) - Original rate
Performance Retakes (undirected sessions):
For undirected sessions, where I’m recording the files myself at my own direction and sending them to you, one round of performance retakes (for performance reasons) will be done at no cost. Please try and communicate all direction or change of direction(s) at this time. After the first take, subsequent rounds will be charged as revisions, per the above.
Pronunciation preferences not announced prior to recording will be treated as revisions and are billable. Examples: “off-en vs. of-ten”, “ee-ther” vs. “eye-ther”, “oh” vs. “zero”.
When sending a change request, please highlight lines in the original script or list the full sentence to be re-recorded and the sentence after. If applicable, please add the time index of the recording so I can better match tone and pace.
Please submit all change requests within 30 days of receiving the original recording. After 30 days, all change requests will be charged the original rates.
