Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you charge a fee for remote, live directed sessions?There is NOT an additional charge for a live remote directed session. The session fee is included in my project quote. However, depending on the situation, the cost of the session is paid up front and then subtracted from your final balance due when the project has been completed.
-
Do you offer live, remote, directed sessions?Yes I do. If you are a professional studio, I can do a session via Source-Connect Standard. Otherwise, I can offer directed sessions via Zoom or other meeting platforms such as Skype or Google Meet.
-
What is your policy for retakes and or revisions?Retakes (mistakes that are made by me) will be done free of charge. Revisions done because of script changes are charged according to several factors. You can see (and download if you like) my full Retakes and Revisions Policy, HERE.
-
What will it cost to hire you for my project?I quote my rates based on standard, professional, non-union GVAA rates. However there are a number of factors that contribute to the quote for your project. The most important factor is the recording's "usage" or how the recording will be used, for how long, and where it will broadcast or otherwise used. You can find more information on my rates, HERE.
-
Can you walk me through your process?It's a fairly straight ahead process that looks a lot like this: After we have agreed to work together on your project, you will send me your script including what you are looking for in terms of creative direction. I will then record the script, edit it, and send it to you in whatever format you request. It's then up to you to approve the recording or to ask for retakes or revisions. After final approval, I will send you the invoice for my work. Of course, depending on the specific situation, there may be a few other steps or details to work out. One thing I can promise... I will always try to keep things as simple as possible. See my policy for retakes and revisions, HERE. By the way, if you would like to schedule a Zoom meeting to discuss your project and or my process, go HERE. I look forward to working with you!
-
How will you send me my completed file(s)?If the file is very small, I can usually send it to you via email. For projects that are too big to send via email, or for projects that involve mulitple files, I will generally use a large file transfer service such as We Transfer.
-
How long will it take for you to record my script?Most projects can be recorded and sent to you within one business day. However, that depends on the length and scope of the project. Very long scripts would obviously take longer to complete. You can schedule a call with me to discuss the details of your project, HERE. You can also send an email to tom@tomconklinvoice.com with specific questions about your project.
-
Can I send you an audition script?Yes, you most certainly can! You can fill out the form on my Auditions page, HERE. You can also feel free to send via email to tom@tomconklinvoice.com, but please remember to tell me about the script and to provide some performance direction. I would also be grateful for any usage information that you can send along as well.
-
Will you consider working for a flat fee for a project that includes a large quantity of recordings?The short answer is, yes. There are however many factors involved. A quote for this type of work is always custom to your particular project. I'm happy to discuss via phone, email, or Zoom call. Feel free to grab a time to chat with me, HERE.
-
Can I schedule a call with you to discuss the details of my project?Yes. You can schedule a meeting with me, HERE. Just select any date and time that is available, and a confirmation and Zoom meeting link will be generated and sent to you via email.
