Audition Room No-Nos by nycnewbie1352 • last post Oct 10th

[PAID] Searching for older woman or man for narrating parts in podcast episodes. $5 per episode. by sengseri • last post Oct 2nd
Looking for an older woman or gentleman for voice parts in episodes of my podcast that is based on the paranormal and unexplained. I'm preparing to start recording for my upcoming second season (12 episodes) and thought I'd open this up for some new voice actors/actresses. What I'm looking for specifically is someone to read a few paragraphs about supposed factual events as if they were true case files. I'd like whomever I select to sound like they were the host of "Unsolved Mysteries" or any other true crime/true haunt television show. At most, all I'll ever need is 5 to 10 minutes per episode of cold serious reading. (I'm starting this at $5 per episodes, one episode a month for a 12 month season, but I'm willing to be flexible depending on experience and performance.) Please message me if you have any questions!
