ABOUT RETAKES & REVISIONS

Retakes for any mistakes that I made are included at no cost.

Revisions, meaning changes made to the script after recording:

• Minor Revisions (a word or two): $50

• Major Revisions (more than a word or two): $100 minimum

• Re-Reads (25% or more of the original script): Original rate

Performance Retakes (for undirected sessions):

If I record the project in my studio at my own direction (without you on with me live), if you need me to re-do lines for performance reasons, I’m happy to do one round of Performance Retakes at no cost. However, please try your best to communicate any special direction and/or changes of your direction at this time. After the first round of retakes, subsequent rounds are charged as Revisions according to the above policies.

If you need a retake for word pronunciations that are not clearly specified in advance either by a pronunciation guide of some sort or otherwise in writing, then these will be treated as Revisions and are billable. Here’s a few examples of what I mean by this:

“ee-ther” vs. “eye-ther”
“off-ten” vs. “off-en”
“oh” vs. “zero”

When you send in a change request, please highlight the lines in the original script or list the full sentence to be re-recorded, the sentence before, and the sentence after so I know exactly what you need re-recorded. If applicable, please include the time index of the video so I can better match tone and pace.

Please submit all change requests within 30 days of receiving the original recording. After 30 days, any and all change requests will be charged the original rates.
