Why you want to Hire John.

1.  Appreciation of Language. Among other focuses, John got his Bachelor’s Degree in Communications Media; he’s undergone some pretty extensive acting training in North Hollywood and if you are still dubious check out John’s professional volunteer recordings or his podcast work in iTunes.   Even if you found another voice actor to read your book, that actor would not possess the appreciation of language.  John has that appreciation and it shows.  You want someone who’s intelligent; who’s an author himself; who can truly understand your message, word choice, and crisply utilizes the language.  You could always think back to that “todo list”, but you cold make up the fact that, You want to hire John.

2.  Price < One Cent..  Have you done your research?  Have you seen the atrocious, heinous prices for voice actors to do an entire book recording?  They’re obscene.  John charges 1/3 of the standard voice actor rate.  Hands down.  You show him a price, he’ll do the work for one third the cost!!  But the standard rate is $0.03/word.  That’s right.  Less than 5 CENT per word. Amazingly, this also includes intros/outros and professional editing.

3.  Professionalism.  The more talented the voice actor, the higher the price.  John already has — with his authoring of 28 books, english major, and NLP experience — the appreciation of language part covered.  The price is without a doubt a bargain, so when you hire a voice actor who can use different dialects in your book at various places of your choosing (be it Scottish, British, Cockney, Italian, Romanian, you name it), do you realize how much auditory flavor that adds to your book?  Additionally, you’ll get a digital copy of the recording to verify exported to you in chapter-formats recorded at 64 kps (this is TWICE the bit rate of iTunes, so your audio book will be recorded at a bit rate that’s twice as clear as iTunes store recordings!).

You want your readership to drool for your next release, right?  Get it Done!
