Performance Retakes (undirected sessions):

For sessions where I independently record the files in my studio and send them to you, the following guidelines apply:

• One round of Retakes is provided at no cost for performance-related adjustments.

• It's essential to communicate all directions or changes during this round.

• Subsequent retakes will be treated as revisions and charged accordingly.

Pronunciation Preferences:

• Pronunciation preferences not specified in advance are considered revisions and are subject to billing.

Change Requests:

• When submitting change requests, please highlight the relevant lines in the original script or provide the full sentences to be re-recorded, along with the preceding and following sentences.

• Include the time index of the video if applicable to match tone and pace.

Timelines:

• All change requests should be submitted within 30 days of receiving the original recording. Requests beyond this period will be charged at the original rates.

New and International Clients (Outside the U.S.):

• For NEW clients, U.S./International, are billed upfront unless alternative arrangements are agreed upon.
