TELEPHONE SYSTEM
Just Widgets Inc. is a widget distribution company based in Winnipeg, Canada. We ship widgets to manufacturers worldwide.
We are looking for a professional, mature male voice for our telephone system. The system has 20 prompts that will need to be recorded as separate files (MP3s). The total word count for the prompts is 618 and includes recordings for our IVR and various voicemail boxes. We would like to establish a relationship with a voice talent so that changes can easily be made in the future using the same voice.
Please submit a generic demo of your IVR work.
Thank you,
Jane
AUDIOBOOK
I am looking for a voice to record an audiobook. It is a fictional book with inspirational and spiritual themes. The target market is women ages 35 and up.
You can find the book listed on Amazon.com at this URL:
The ideal voice is female, with a mature voice (within the target market age range). I would be happy to hear demos from both British and North American accented voices.
The book is 150 pages in total, with a word count of 27,000. I have included a sample excerpt and would appreciate your custom demos. I will require the final copy on CD.

Good stuff! I'd add to that that the talent seeker should also include his or her budget for the job. There are many talents on Voices who will not submit auditions for leads where no budget is specified (I'm one of them).
