-I'm an 18 year old British physically male person in Canada. I have been here for 6 years and have picked up a bit of the local accent. My raw accent is mostly British, with some western Canadian inflections here and there. Being an unemployed high school dropout with poor equipment and informal script reading form, I charge cheap rates for short and long scripts. I'm looking to get practice in this field but my rates will track the cost of living, not my experience.+I'm a 20 year old British physically male person in Canada.

-My fee structure is as follows. At your option, if the price of the Euro on the day is more than 80 US cents, you may choose to have me charge in Euro rather than US Dollars, for the same numerical price.

-I can only guarantee intelligible results in English with my raw British pronunciation. I will not charge for oops-pile recordings unless you have already claimed a discount. Discount oops-pile recordings will be charged at 25%, except for complicated recordings which will be charged as noted below, and there will be no charge for other-language oops-pile recordings.+I can only guarantee intelligible results in English with my raw British pronunciation, or in some circumstances with a faux-American pronunciation.

-Prices will be pro-rated by the base time, so a 12 second charge time recording that is less than 6 seconds long will only cost ½ a rate. Surcharges will be pro-rated by the applicable charge time, so a 5 second recording with a 12 second base time demanding delivery while outdoors or out-of-hours will cost 65 cents US, cents Euro or 80 cents Canadian, representing that it is half of a charge rate long for the base rate but a full charge rate long for the surcharges. A 13 second recording at 12 seconds charge time  demanding expedited delivery will be $1.80; $1.50 of which is the basic recording+I reserve the right to waive charges in part or in whole; I'm doing this for fun, not money.
