Mother! was disturbing and great. One of the few Aronofsky that I stomached and enjoyed watching more than once

The kids are alright. So proud of them. I feel like my generation (old millennial or young gen x) is a bit apathetic

Does anybody remember the title of that book? I'm feeling like a trip down memory lane.

I had to put down my 16 yo heart, warmth, and joy 2 Saturdays ago.

I got a little runt that needed a lot of help and is helping me heal

It's been a rollercoaster.

All my best wishes go to you and your 2 little gremlins and their will to live 🐈

Ohhhhh, sweetheart! My heart hurts for you guys. Losing a furry friend is an incredible heartache, no matter how long you've known them, and if love was enough, it sounds like he would have lived forever.

How his sibling doing?

Just the ones you're interested in romantically.

Let's be real, a 19 years old having a 2 years old to begging with is in itself a problem.

No but seriously though, what's going on?

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.

Yes!

Edit: it might actually shut up the far right and she seems more amenable to discussions.

No, she's terrible. But I don't want to sweat bullets again in November wondering if trump might win, and I want the end of the 2 parties. I don't see the republican pay dissolving into oblivion. What's your solution? The status quo?

Edit: and I'd take her over trump.

She did have to pass the bar at some point I'd imagine. She can't be completely dumb. A reverse Elle Woods maybe

I just want a democrat/republican ticket. So tired of this 2 parties war that brings us nowhere at best, back in times at worse. Give me a Biden/Hayley nom, I don't care but bring back boring and normal.

I just wish Biden would run with her or Cheney instead of Harris. Best way to pause a war is to find a common enemy and this enemy is right there pestering us since way too long, why not take advantage of it

When job offers are considered ruse.

ITT: figuring out that "trans-" means "across" by giving other words with same prefix. Yey etymology

How does lead make them more attractive? The weight?
