> Good morning,
> I was wondering if you may be able to help me. I heard about this performing arts list from friends and thought I would reach out to see if someone might be interested in a job offering.
> I'm a self-published blind author and am looking for a female narrator for my second book, a poetry collection. My budget is $300 that will be paid upon completion of the product which will include any revisions. The candidate I'm looking for must have the following:
> Experience with book narration is preferred, but I'm willing to hire someone looking for experience as long as they fit the project. If they're looking for experience, however, they must be knowledgeable about book narration practices, including how chapters are named when posted for distribution.
> As stated previously, the narrator must be female.
> The narrator must have experience with editing and mastering audio. The final product must be mastered to the specifications of the distributor Findaway Voices.
> Finally, the narrator must have a PayPal or Venmo account in order to receive payment upon the project's completion.
> The narrator may use parts of my book as samples for their portfolio. By default, they may use their audition sample. However, if they'd like to use other parts of the narration, they may do so.
> If anyone im interested, please have them email me at anexismatos799 at gmail.com. Thank you so much in advanced for sharing this posting if you can. I appreciate your time. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
