The client wants the VO artist to sound smart, but friendly, like a college professor. They love the sound of the Apple VO guy for iPhone, iPad, etc. We need energy in the reading to move this piece along, but not too 'commercially' sounding. This is a cool company who wants their VO to sound cool. There are some tech-heavy bites here - about bitrate technology, RPMS, etc - so the VO needs to sound like they know what they're talking about. My budget for the initial reading is $300, but I will pay an additional $150 for pick-ups. Important: watch this video for the proper pronunciation of the company's name Ooyala ***********************************
