It’s lol in orcish from wow and pre-dates whichever facepalming shenanigans of… that guy

Are the (unnumbered) wives allowed to drive in this 3 brothers owned mansion usually?

Or when it actually deleted the local files once it uploaded them to one drive. Fun times.

Ecosia is working for me though

I jumped back on ecosia. It’s nice there, but I’m sure there are issues that a non tech person like me may not know about

The protective plastic seems to still be on this one. I used my z flip for 1 year before realizing that the crease was actually the plastic and not the screen itself.

It’s like a half USB; we all know that we are going to do it wrong the first time

Much more depending on the usage. The length of the audio counts in the rate but less than its use, how long and where it would be used.

For instance, a perpetuity buyout (one of the thing he should have negotiated), are very expensive. Audiobooks for instance are longer but cheaper. My rate is 350/per finished hour for audiobooks, which is pretty average in the field. While a 30 seconds national radio commercial for my country, I would ask between 350 and 500, and that’s with a limited time they would be allowed to use/broadcast it.

Here is a rate sheet for standard usage, if you are interested: https://globalvoiceacademy.com/gvaa-rate-guide-2/

I’m so excited, I don’t get to talk about this aspect of my job often :)) Thank you for your interest so far!

It would be devaluating the value and the work of voice over artists.

I’m not even a well known voice over artist and I get paid way more for words that fewer people will hear. And I’m not even in an union.

He got shafted.

Definitely not ridiculous to think so, considering how many people recognize his voice. Just like one great book will be bought by many people and make its author rich, a great line recognized by many people should be remunated as such.

The rights for usage should be much much higher. Just like recording Siri’s voice and an e-learning project might have taken the same time but the usage and how many people are going to hear the voice is widely different.

Furthermore, “it only took him a minute” is akin to say to a graphic designer why pay him so much for a website that took him less than a day to do: it takes years, practice, and skill to be able to do in only a minute.

If anything, considering that a lot of people seems to recognize his voice, he should have been able to retire on this simple few words.

Just like one good jingle or one hit wonder can make their author very rich.

People need good jobs. I doubt there are tons of people whose dream job is to be a cashier.

That ever too soon

Tell me about it! I’m an audiobook narrator and I jumped on the AI bandwagon because my job as is, is bound to disappear. Now I can offer audiobooks narrated with my cloned voice for my clients with low budgets.

Audible doesn’t accept ai narrated books as of yet, but it’s just a matter of time.

Interestingly though, none of my clients went the AI road yet and still prefer to pay me rather than 3 times less for my AI voice. I bet that won’t last though.

I’m also looking into completely changing field. How about healthcare, I’m sure they’ll never stop needing and/or abusing those in this field…
