I have a 110,000-word fiction novel that I would like narrated. Voice should be smooth, and without accent. I don't have an absolute deadline for completion, but within the next month or so would be nice. Minimal voice change between mail and female characters, unless you can convince me otherwise. I certainly don't want falsetto from a man, or unnaturally low voice from a women. I feel books with a female main character are more often better read by women, and vice-versa for books with a male character. I have asked dozens of people who they thought was the main character in my novel, and surprisingly, the results were about 50-50. The sequel is more clearly male. All that to say I have no strong preference of male or female reader. The plot is about two men attempting to extort millions of dollars from the Mormon church. If you find this topic offensive in any way, please do not bid. It wouldn't be a successful partnership for you, or me. Below is a sample chapter. It's not representative of anything other than my particular writing style. You don't need to submit a reading sample of this chapter, but you should certainly have samples for me to consider you. I'd like to pay around $1,000 or so, but the free market says I get the quality I pay for, and I pay at market rates. In other words, it doesn't really matter what I "want". I, and several other experienced listeners will assess each voice and select one based on the clarity, tone, inflection, and quality, understanding that all those things are very subjective.

Hello I am interested in your project. I can offer you a professional, high-quality narration service for your book. I am a native English speaker with a post-graduate degree from an English University, and my command of English is excellent. I have many years experience recording, editing and mastering audio material, including voice recordings, and many years experience narrating dialogue for film. I have a mature, masculine voice, and can send you samples of my narration work. I decided to place this bid because you have asked for a voice “without an accent”. I have lived predominantly in an English world, yet is my voice largely uncoloured. I think it will perfectly meet your stated, desired criteria for this task. I hope you will listen to it, and give it the chance to ‘speak for itself’. Many say they like listening to it. What sold me most on making this bid is the style of your writing. It has the easy, natural rhythm of a born story-teller, and makes it feel like it would be a great pleasure to narrate your work. I am willing to negotiate the fee, the payment structure and the delivery time to our mutual benefit. Thank you for your consideration.

Thank you for your consideration. I have a number of voice samples available through my portfolio, and can also provide a short custom demo of your sample script via PM as well. I look forward to working with you, and have quoted market rates, which I know are above your hoped for rate, but have calculated this as precisely as I can to arrive at the rate. My method typically with audio books is to provide a sample read of length to establish the tone and rhythm for the project. I find this often leads to fewer issues in the end about how it sounds based upon feedback of the original recording style. Thanks again for your time, and have an awesome day! Chris.
